Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS3137

Hello,
I'm working on a project in which i need to implement POWERLINK protocol stack on TMS570LS3137 HDK. Does anyone have any idea on how to begin with. I didn't find any demo implementations of POWERLINK for TI devices. Any help would be really appreciable.

Thanks and regards

Subramanya,

Apart from Ethernet functions, POWERLINK requires additional h/w support (eg., hub, filtering etc.,). Since TMS570 does not have these additional modules we do not have a POWERLINK implementation on TMS570. However there are other platforms that are available from TI that support this feature (& software). Here's a link to one such implementation from TI: http://www.ti.com/tool/sysbiossdk-ind-sitara

Pramod

Does that mean, it's not possible to implement POWERLINK on TMS570 since it doesnot have in built support for hub, filtering etc?
What additional hardware do i need to make it compatible with POWERLINK?
I'm provided with TMS570MCU to work on and the problem is that, now its not possible for me to change to any other platform.
