Part Number: AM2434
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS,

1. How many profibus master ports are supported? Is it possible support 7 profibus port in AM2434?

2. Is Profinet master supported by PRU_ICSSG? Is it possible to develop Profinet master by ourselves based on AM2434?

Hi Lifeng,

Currently AM243x does not support neither Profibus nor Profinet master. No plan to support Profinet master on AM243x.

Best regards,

Ming

Will the Profibus be supported in the further? Is it in the plan?

Hi Ming

How many Profibus ports can be supported at most? Can the 7 UART be used as profibus? We plan to develop a module which can convert multiple profibus ports to profinet or ethernet.

I think it is possible, if the PRU can access any uart. Can you submit my requirement to the development team?

Thanks
Lifeng

Hi Lifeng,

TI firmware can only support 1 Profibus slave instance per ICSS. Depending on the maximum baud rate - may be able to run this from R5F.

Best regards,

Ming
