AM2434: CPSW Ethernet won't work without adding I2C

Part Number: AM2434
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

I added CPSW Ethernet to my project with sysconfig. When I build the project, there is no generated source code to initialize the CPSW Ethernet interface. If I add I2C to the project, re-build the project, then the generated source code contains code to initialize the CPSW Ethernet interface. The CPSW Ethernet interface should not be dependent on I2C.

  • I have not heard a reply on this issue. When will this issue be resolved?

  • It depends on the part number chosen in sysconfig.



    If you have chosen AM243x_ALV_beta which is am243x_evm then YES, I2C is necessary as it is on am243-evm board there is one port muxed between CPSW and ICSSG so for that muxed port access i2c is required.

    If you are working on a custom board or AM243x-lp then you need to change the settings to AM243x_ALX_beta to have the dependency removed.
