You mean the boards will be sort of terminals. And the master will be?
Which cycles you are talking about, 1ms, 0.1ms, 0.01ms?

EtherCAT does not need special hardware. If you mean Beckhoff's piggyback,
you don't have to use it. You can do all it does with a plain board and raw
Ethernet. Admittedly it would be a lot of work and EtherCAT slave protocol
(all upper levels) is a horrific mess.

If that would not hinder selling the terminals to the end customers without
exposing the sources...

All existing fieldbuses are extremely poor designed, in my view. But I
doubt it would be a work for one man.
