TMS320F28388D: Is it possible to use file over EtherCAT (FoE) on CM?

Part Number: TMS320F28388D

Hi,

As titled, I would like to use CM(M4) as EtherCAT slave, but there is no boot loader in it.

So I'm trying to update CM's application code through porting from CPU1 flash before allocating EtherCAT pins for CM.

I found that CM has a boot mode called IPC RAM copy boot, which is possible to copy application code from

CPU1 flash to CM ram via IPC ram.

Is there any example from TI about porting application code?

By the way, can I port the application code in batch if its length is over 2k bytes?

Regards,

Joey

Hello

IPC RAM copy boot is meant for a small application. Your small program would want to set something up to move addition code if needed. In my option, it would be easier to put a custom bootloader in the CM flash to handle the update. You boot the CM to flash and then it has some decision logic to determine if you go to the bootloader or start EtherCAT.

You can use FoE on CM. Just configure that protocol to be included via the SSC tool. Currently our examples only show CoE.

Best regards

Chris
