Description
Hi sir,
I'm trying to use KickCAT to simulate the Beckhoff EtherCAT modules. In this case it's the EL1004.
Unlike some other devices, this ESI files provide PDO information through TxPdo sections but do not contain a complete CoE dictionary. Because of this the flag is_mapped will never be set to TRUE.
I don't know if you gus are already awared of this.

Research direction
Start by tracing the EtherCAT mapping path that sets is_mapped, then compare how ESI files with TxPdo sections are handled when no complete CoE dictionary is present. Done means PDO information from this device type is recognized without requiring the missing dictionary and the mapping state is set correctly; the issue names no source file or test.
