## Current and future features

- [x] `async` API
- [x] Usable in `no_std` contexts with no allocator required, as long as an `async` executor is available.
  - [x] Tested with [Embassy](https://embassy.dev)
  - [ ] Tested with [RTIC](https://rtic.rs/2/book/en/)
- [x] Autoconfigure SubDevices from their EEPROM (SII) data during startup
  - [x] Supports configuration using CoE data
- [x] Safely usable in multi-threaded Linux systems with e.g. `smol`, `tokio` or `std::thread` and
      `block_on`.
- [x] Support for `io_uring` on Linux systems to improve performance and latency
- [x] Support for SDO read/writes to configure SubDevices
- [x] Distributed clocks
  - [x] Detection of delays between SubDevices in topology
  - [x] Static drift compensation on startup
  - [x] Cyclic synchronisation during OP
- [x] Basic support for [CiA402](https://www.can-cia.org/can-knowledge/canopen/cia402/)/DS402 drives
  - [ ] A higher level DS402 API for torque, position and velocity control of common servo drives in
        a more abstract way.
- [ ] Integration with LinuxCNC as a HAL component using
      [the `linuxcnc-hal` crate](https://github.com/jamwaffles/linuxcnc-hal-rs).
- [ ] Load SubDevice configurations from ESI XML files
