Convert::EDS::XDD - Convert CANopen EDS to POWERLINK XDD

$ cpan Convert::EDS::XDD # install from CPAN
$ eds2xdd profile.eds > profile.xdd # Convert with the eds2xdd script

EDS is an ini based format specified by the CiA e.V. in order to describe CANopen devices. The Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group specifies an EDS-based XML format for EPL devices.

This module takes in an EDS file or a string with its content and returns a XDD string. An eds2xdd wrapper script is also installed into the PATH.

eds2xdd is also available as a self-contained (fatpacked) script at the Github releases page.

May not handle all details of the EDS. Pull requests and reports (issues on Github) are welcome.

eds2xdd($filename, [$encoding])

Here, the [] indicate an optional parameter.

Returns the EDS' content as XML string on success or undef on error in file contents.

Function croaks if opening file fails.

$encoding may be used to indicate the encoding of the file, e.g. 'utf8' or 'encoding(iso-8859-1)'.

Do not add a prefix to $encoding, such as '<' or '<:'.

eds2xdd_string($string)

Returns the EDS string as XML string
