all kinds of stuff updated:

- EEPROMs can now be written, especially the serial number
- tests should work again
- ebpf devices can now act cyclic like slow devices

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!7

even when using fast ethercat, some information may be perfectly
valid slow as well. This way we have the best of both worlds.

and use it instead of our own random number generator for the
missed packages simulator

this tests now the actual initialization of the terminals.

I removed the ebpf tests for now, as I am about to change them anyways.

don't use RuntimeError, define an EtherCatError instead

those didn't work anymore since we have mmap

This adds support to actually use the SDO data from terminals, and also add useful command line tools to inspect the bus.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!6

this script reads out all relevant data from the connected terminals
such that it can be used for offline tests. Also add the retrieved data.

if the status of the bus is unknown, we need to assure not
to address two terminals at the same time

Beckhoff calls the input sync manager number 3, the output one
number 2. It's weird, but let's follow the standard.

This means we can access variables directly from user space, we do not need explicit reads or writes.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!5

bus couplers seem to be incomplete

that's what I found in the EEE lab and Brad's box

See merge request !4

and other improvements

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!3

this is for debugging

this doubles the number of packages in the loop, but is an
effective measure against package loss
