How to Port the PROFINET Community Stack to STM32?

Hello,

 

I’m exploring how to convert the  PROFINET Community Stack into a working implementation on STM32.

Specifically, without relying on commercial stacks like RT-Labs.

Has anyone successfully ported the community stack to an STM32 platform? Any insights, examples, or guidance on integrating the stack with STM32  would be very helpful.

Do they provide a Porting Guide?

Yes. I am referring to the exact same stack.

"Do they provide a Porting Guide?"

No. I couldn't find one.

I would certainly ask for that on their forum, then.
