    Hello Matt,

    Can you please share what application you are running ?

    Actually, porting your AM243X code to AM64x is really simple. Just you can take AM64X MCU+SDK on top of it and just integrate your application alone and don't integrate any drivers that's  it. All your application will work.

    Usually there is no problem even if you go with AM64X MCU+SDK on AM243X SOC since both AM64X and AM243 SOC's are the same except for the A53 core.

    Regards,

    Anil.

    Hello Matt ,

    Please do follow when you change AM243MCU+SDK to AM64X MCU+SDK .

    1. Download the AM64X MCU+SDK software 

    2. if you change Ethercat application in AM243X MCU+SDK  , then add same changes in the AM64X Ethercat Application .

    3. If you change any drivers in AM243X MCU+SDK , the same change should be added to drivers as well in AM64X MCU+SDK.

    4. Compile both drives and Applications .

    5. Please go with any boot mode without Linux .

    For example, if you are using  SBL_OSPI boot mode in AM243X then go with the the same boot mode in AM64X.

    5. Please confirm which Hw you are using is it GP or HS FS Hw version?

    If you are using AM64XGP hardware , then you need to stick to 8.6 AM64X MCU+SDK version only .

    If you are using the AM64X HS FS Hw then you can go with latest MCU+SDK software version .

    Regards,

    Anil.
