AM2434: EtherCAT EVAL version expired related

Tool/software:

Hi all,

I'm using EtherCAT slave simple demo where the session got expired after 1 hour.

So, I followed the readme file given in the location C:\ti\ind_comms_sdk_am243x_09_02_00_15\source\industrial_comms\ethercat_slave\stack\patch\SlaveFiles\src

While doing step 3 I got error in the files of EtherCAT slave sample code version 5.13 from ETG website.

C:\ti\ind_comms_sdk_am243x_09_02_00_15\source\industrial_comms\ethercat_slave\stack\patch>gmake -s -f makefile.custom-ssc ssc

Hello Jenita,

We were able to reproduce the issue you have observed. We will look into the patch file.
In the meantime, you can rebuild the libs by skipping the patching files as shown below. This should generate the libs without time limitations.

Harsha:

Was not the intent of the Beckhoff shared library object for the EtherCAT slave was to officially acquire the non-timed out shared library timeout from the ETG? I recall a discussion last year with (18) Ashwani Goel's Profile - Ashwani Goel - TI E2E support forums on that, specifically (+) PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: EtherCAT SubDevice: HWALLicense task stops, EtherCAT subdevice stops working - Processors forum - Processors - TI E2E support forums Beckhoff/ETG was wanting to track all non-timed out shared object library users. cc: (+) Thomas Leyrer's Profile - Thomas Leyrer - TI E2E support forums (TI Germany)

Hello Jim Mrowca,

Yes. The customers should officially acquire the EtherCAT SubDevice Stack Code/ Beckhoff SSC source files from the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) and they should have the ETG membership to download these source files from ETG website.

The library provided in the Industrial Communications SDK - ethercat_slave_bkhf_ssc.amxxxx_evm.r5f.ti-arm-clang.release.lib is time limited to 1 hour. Customers should rebuild this library without any time limitations by acquiring the source files from the ETG and this is mentioned as the first step to be followed in rebuilding the library.

In this case, the customer has already acquired the source files (version 5.13) from ETG and tried to recompile the library by following the steps mentioned in the SDK to regenerate the libs without any time limitations.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Harsha; at least that recompile should not involve TI SDK issues hopefully.

I think the TI Industrial Communications SDK should issue an [FAQ] about the needing the ETG's EtherCAT shared library object in e2e so that it would be easy to find.

Hello Jim,

Thank you for the feedback. We will update the documentation FAQ accordingly.
