PLC modem TMDSPLCKITV-4 configuration as service node

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS, AFE031

hi

i have a TMDSPLCKIT-V4 kit for power line communication and i want to use it as service node.

I want to use the next sample projects as guide:

- TI_G3_phy_example / TI_Prime_phy_example

- sci_echobak

- scia_loopback_interrupts

i installed the G3_SDK_Package_V7__7_7_6 but i cant find those files.

  • Mateo,
    Out of the box the FW should be preloaded on the PLC SOM for SN operation. Have you tried the Zero Config GUI to send packets between modems?

    Also, by default this is coming with the G3-SDK, but you also mention PRIME which is a different protocol. If you want the PRIME, you will need to download/request it on TI.com and then reflash the MCU on the SOM.

    I am trying to execute the example "G3 Host Application Emulation" described in the TI-G3 User Guide-Host Application in the G3_SDK_Package_V7_7_7_6.

    But when i see the content of the PLC Application Suite folder, i dont see the G3_HostApplication.exe. 

    i executed the Host_CLI.exe but shows an error message.

    I tried to flash the TMDSPLCKITV-4 CEN modem with the  intermediate GUI - version 2.103. The file is C:\Texas Instruments\G3_SDK_Package_V7_7_7_6\SW\Bin\sysbios_g3_plc_aes_F2806x_AFE031_CRC16_MSB_LOADNG_ROM.sbin

    but it shows the error message

  • Mateo,
    I'll send you a separate note off forum, I suspect you need an older version of the PLC FW.

    I could configure the base and service nodes.

    But when i execute the Host_CLI.exe application to start an emeter test, the next error message is shown.

    What can i do?
