MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263PX: Eth_APP and Eth_Test_APP Examples are not working on AM26xx MCAL 10.02.01 version

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263PX

Tool/software:

Hello Team,

currently we are checking Eth Communication of AM26xx MCAL 10.02.01 version on SIP Board.

while checking the communication we have checked the Examples which were given by TI, those examples are not working.

on wireshark we are not able to see any frames 

and the Eth_App is also not sending any Tx data 

Similarly for Eth_test_App, it is the same and for Eth Test App the host is not detected, and it is getting failed

Can you please check issue and tell us what else we have to configure to check on SIP board

  • Hi Shaik Abdul Mohasin,

    I tired to load and run the SIP example of Eth_APP in AM263P MCAL SDK in PROC159E2 board. I was able to run the example as well.

    Please see the below logs,

    In this example, I sent 1000 packets from my PC to the controller using ColaSoft and was able to receive 5000 packets in PC which is being sent by the controller. Observed the same on wireshark.

    The Eth_app requires the PC to send 1000 packets to specified MAC address. In the logs it is shown that the controller is waiting for the PC to send 1000 packets. Can you trying sending packets from your PC to the controller?

  • Hello Aswin,

    Can you please share the images of wireshark, and please let us know what steps have to be followed to configure and run the Examples.

  • Hi Abdul,

    To run the example, we need a packet sending tool and a network analyser like wireshark

    I used Cola Soft packet sender to send the packets from PC to controller. In this example, initially the PC needs to send packets. 

    The packets needs to be sent with a particular MAC address that is mentioned in the logs. 

    While sending packets, make sure that packet is send via the correct Ethernet Adapter.

    This is my packet sending application. I have configured the destination MAC address as mentioned in the logs. Configuring any other would cause the ALE to drop it.

    After sending some packets from the PC to controller, it will send 5000 packets back.This can be confirmed via the wireshark. The below attached image shows that.

  • The steps to run the examples are mentioned in MCAL documentation (user guide). Please see 4.13.10.

  • Hello Aswin,

    sorry for the late reply

    I have followed all the steps given in Userguide 4.13.10. and build the application of eth_app and tried on SIP Board still i am not able to see any broadcast message from Wireshark

     

    and in CCS the terminal window is showing like this. The data is not updating

    can you please check this and provide me your feedback

  • Hi Mohasin,

    Did you try sending packets from PC to Board with the given MAC address in the logs as destination MAC address?

    Regards,

    Aswin

  • Hi Mohasin,

    The example asks user to send packets with the defined MAC address. Can you send some packets to the board with the defined MAC address? 

    By this we can make sure that the communication is working.

    You can also run the enet_layer2_cpsw example in MCU_PLUS_SDK to validate the ethernet communication. This example is a PC to board loopback layer 2 packet example.
