Hi,

I am trying to build ethercat sample project in ccsv7 but it showing following error.

Can you help to find solution.

Hi Vishnu, sorry for my late reply. I want to double check you are using AM4372. If so, this device doesn't has PRU-ICSS (www.ti.com/.../compare). Our EtherCAT slave uses PRU-ICSS for EtherCAT firmware and ARM for the application.

This could be an issue with CCS project, if you are using AM4372 platform. If you have an AM4379 IDK board please give a try and let us know how it goes

thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula,

I am so sorry for mistake I have entered wrong board name . I am using am4379

Hi Vishnu, can you confirm which PRU-ICSS EtherCAT slave are you using? latest 1.0.5? Also which TI-RTOS Processor SDK version are you using?

For example EtherCAT 1.0.5 builds on top of AM437x TI-RTOS PSDK 4.1 as mentioned in EtherCAT slave Release Notes

thank you,

Paula

By the way, I just gave a try to latest PRU-ICSS EtherCAT slave (v1.0.5) and I was able to create AM437x CCS project, build and run it without issues on AM4379 IDK board. Please try this EtherCAT slave version

From UART:
Version - EtherCAT Slave 1.0.5.0
Board name : AM43_IDK
Board Revision : 1.3AEtherCAT Device

SYS/BIOS EtherCAT Demo application3.3.0
Revision/Type : x0290 Build : x04ec
Firmware Version : 2.4.236

thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula,
Above problem solved I am able to flash code and run.
Now for customization I am including pthread.h header file. As in gcc we will do gcc -lpthread main.c -o main.out for compailing.
How can I include this step to successfully compile the code for sys/bios ethercat slave sample demo application in ccs 7

Hi Vishnu, I am glad EtherCAT example is now running on your AM4379 IDK board. About your -lpthread, please open a new E2E so this question can be route to the right person. We might have some examples already, but I am not aware of them. Maybe our CCS team knows, or can point you to some documentation.

thank you,
Paula
