AM2434: Interconnection between PRU core Ethernet ports and CPSW

Dhruvil Patel

Part Number: AM2434

We are looking to use this processor in one of our new projects.

I want to know if there is an interconnection between the ethernet ports from the PRU core to the internal Gigabit ethernet switch (CPSW).

Hi Dhruvil,

Can you please elaborate on your use-case?

If you meant hardware connection so packets from port of ICSSG go to port of CPSW via internal switching, it's not the case. These two are independent IP's.

Having said that, as both of them have host port for internal SOC consumption, they can be connected via Software.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Prasad

I was looking for hardware connection if there was any, however if the packets can be transferred via software, that works as well. Will need to look into how efficiently that can be done.

Yes, if switching traffic is limited, it can be handled in software. I will close the ticket for now, if you have any further queries, please create a new thread.

Thank you!
