This machine uses an Odroad H2+ (now H3 and H3+). I have used a few of them as you end up with a full AMD64 PC

Do you have the vendor data from the ESI....I don't think most of that AliExpress stuff is legit.

Pretty decent looking set-up! Lucky you. I'd move the CAT6 lead far away from the magnetic IC though. Currently sitting right on top of it, a big no-no!!

Did anyone have any luck configuring one of these? I followed the links on the first page to get the slave information, but mine seems to be stubbornly returning to PREOP E. here's my slave information so far:

<slave idx="1" type="generic" vid="0x00090588" pid="0x00109252" configPdos="false">
    <!--IMC IO MODEL with EtherCAT-->
    <syncManager idx="0" dir="out"/>
    <syncManager idx="1" dir="out"/>
    <syncManager idx="2" dir="out">

			<pdoEntry idx="7000" subIdx="01" bitLen="8" halPin="imcio-do0" halType="bit"/>
		</pdo>
	</syncManager>
