AM2634-Q1: Inquiry Regarding AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 Controller and SPI Flash Compability.

Tukaram Naik

Part Number: AM2634-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi TI Team,

I have selected the AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 Controller along with the SPI flash S25FL064LABMFM013 for my project. I have a few Queries regarding their compatibility and configuration:

queries:

1. Compatibility with SPI Flash:

-Does SPI flash support the AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 controller? if supported, Could you please provided the configuration details and any relevant application notes for the flash configuring the SPI flash S25FL064LABMFM013?

2. ARINC - 429 Protocol support:

- Does the AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 controller support ARINC-429 Protocol?

3. Configuration and Example code:

- I require application notes and example code for configure the SPI, UART, CAN and ethernet for the AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 Controller.

4. Please suggest the Configuration Tool for this Controller and Debugger.

Thanks

Yes, the mentioned SPI Flash is compatible with AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 as mentioned in the Application Note AM263x QSPI Flash Selection Guide (Rev. A). Please have a look at the Evaluation board for a reference schematic LP-AM263 Evaluation board | TI.com and Software Examples here: AM263x MCU+ SDK: QSPI Flash Diag (ti.com), AM263x MCU+ SDK: QSPI Flash Transfer (ti.com). You could also refer to the various training series available on the controller here on the AM26x Academy (ti.com)

Not in a straightforward way. Would you be able to implement it using SPI or UART?

The example codes can be found in the AM263x MCU+ SDK: Introduction and the module configurations are explained in the Device Technical Reference Manual ti.com/lit/ug/spruj17f/spruj17f.pdf?ts=1721895908726&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FAM2634

Please have a look at the Getting Started Page of the Device here AM263x MCU+ SDK: Getting Started to download the relevant software tools and you could use the XDS110 Debug Probe TMDSEMU110-U Debug probe | TI.com

Hi Sahana,

Thank you for your response..

I will review the reference documents. Regarding the ARINC-429 Protocol, we plan to implement it using SPI.

For the Configuration Tool, we are planning to use CCS (Code composer studio). Could you please recommend the latest version that support all the peripherals and applications for the AM2634COKFHMZCZRQ1 Controller.

Regards

Hi Tukaram,

Yes, you can implement it using SPI resources available.

Please use the latest SDK MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X Software development kit (SDK) | TI.com version 09_02_00_56

Thanks,

Sahana

Hi Sahana,

Thanks for your response...

Could you please confirm if the MCU, with each core running up to 400 MHz, will support to ethernet 1Gb Speed with RMII mode?

Please provide the ethernet example code and application note link. it will help us to understanding more.

Thanks

RMII mode supports only 100Mb speed, RGMII mode supports 1Gb speed. Please have a look at the ethernet examples provided in the AM263 SDK: AM263x MCU+ SDK: Ethernet and Networking (ti.com)

Hi Sahana,

Thank you,

Is it possible to use FreeRTOS with TCP/IP stack on the AM263x MCU. Currently, I only see support for the LWIP stack in the ethernet-related SDK.

Thanks

Hi Tukaram,

LwIP stack is OS agnostic, we have LwIP stack + FreeRTOS based networking examples (dev.ti.com/.../ethernet_one_pager.html as well as LwIP stack based NoRTOS examples (dev.ti.com/.../ethernet_one_pager.html in the MCU+ SDK.

You can find them in the MCU_PLUS_SDK itself under the examples/networking/lwip folder.

Hi Shaunak,

Thanks for your information.

Is it possible to implement Ethernet configuration using only the FreeRTOS + TCP/IP stack without using the LwIP stack.

Tukaram

Hi Tukaram,

We haven't tried porting the stack over in our SDK, but I don't see any major challenges which would block us. The out-of-box SDK only supports LwIP stack with no plans to integrate FreeRTOS + TCP/IP stack in near future. So it would be an integration effort on your end incase you wish to use the stack. You will have to develop an interface layer between the stack and the Enet-LLD driver (similar to the lwip-if layer you see in the SDK)

Shaunak
