TIDM-DELFINO-ETHERCAT: F28379D controlCARD EMIF problem.

Part Number: TIDM-DELFINO-ETHERCAT

Hi Champs,

I use F28379D controlCARD and Ccard DaughterCard to evaluate ET1100 EtherCAT funciton.

When I set SPI format, everything works well, but it fail to work when I use EMIF format for EtherCAT communication. The software stops and I get wrong dtest_data, please refer to the picture below.

Is there anything else I have to take care to evaluate EMIF function on F28379D controlCARD? Please advise your idea, thanks for your help in advance.

  • Luke,

    there are three things you need to make sure you did before switching the PDI interface to EMIF.

    1.> Did you program the proper bin file that you get from TI Design SW folders to the device EEPROM. The EEPROM configuration is different for SPI and EMIF.

    2.> Flip the switches SW1 on the DaughterCard to choose EMIF

    3.> Choose the proper build configuration (ControlCard + EMIF) for the PDI HAL application in CCS and rebuild.

    Hope this helps.

  • Athuru,

    Thanks for response.

    I fixed this problem, it is due to the high density EMIF connector doesn't contact very well, so it fails to communicate.
