MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: Setup AM243x Launchpad as EtherCAT main device

Thank you for your clear response....

While looking for reference, I find the forum log https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1257180/faq-how-to-set-up-an-ethercat-system-with-am6xx-maindevice-and-am64-am243-subdevice-using-codesys-development-system/4765650#4765650 where they install RT Linux on AM64x and while installing CODESYS they link CODESYS Control for Linux ARM64 SL (paid version) and the following steps based on this installations.

Now with AM243x as MDevice, can you kindly guide us to setup EtherCAT communication with CODESYS Development system.. 

Thank you.

Hi sir,

Thank you for your timely response,

For our project, we need to use AM243x as MDevice, it is okay, if we can't install RT Linux on AM243x.

Is there any other way to configure AM243x Launchpad as MDevice and can you suggest open source RTOS based 3rd part Mdevice software.

Thank you.

Hi sir,

We tried your suggestion  OpenEtherCATsociety/SOEM by taking Raspberry Pi 4B as Master and  AM243x as Slave.

Here's the output of  slave info I got with the code SOEM when connected with Am243x

Here, state of the slave is mentioned as 4 by default which is in SAFE_OP mode. How to change this into Operational Mode to process data Input and Output.

Can you please provide an example code to control any GPIOs of Am243x or transmit any data to AM243x with MDevice Raspberry Pi 

Thank you.

Hi  Jayasurya Kannan 

Can you please share the wireshark trace for the same and also are you able to get the slave working with any other master(like twin cat or codesys)

Hi sir, 

Sorry for the late reply, 

I'm not able to attach *.pcapng file here...

I'm not getting the data on slave side i.e., Am243x . Can you provide the updated code.

I didn't tried with twincat or Codesys(paid).

Thank you.

Hi Sir, 

Is there any reference/contact person to work closely on TwinCAT and to support for a requirement on EtherCAT communication.
