AM2434: Feasibility of using TI Sitara processor AM2434 to embed one ECAT Slave + one ECAT Master

Part Number: AM2434

Hello Team, 

can we provide examples or information for my customer- I have not found any resources online for this architechture: 

The question is: is it possible to use the  TI Sitara processor AM2434 to embed one ECAT Slave (managed by one core)+ one ECAT Master(running on another core)?

We understood this should be feasible by adequate programming of the PRU-ICSSG peripherals, but we need to get your feedback and, if possible, a bit of what is eventually needed to route the ethernet lines to realize such an architecture.

Thanks 

Jan

 

 

  • Hello Jan Bock,

    In order to provide the feedback, we would like to know few additional details. Kindly share the port mapping requirements for the EtherCAT MainDevice + SubDevice architecture. How many ports should be available for EtherCAT MainDevice and EtherCAT SubDevice or both should share the common port/s?

    Kind Regards,
