AM6411: Does it support TSN?

Expert 6460 points
Part Number: AM6411

Hello,

we need a processor with 1x Gigabit ETH mac, and support for TSN. Looking for the lowest cost options currently.

Does the AM6411 support TSN (perhaps on CPSW2G)?

Thanks.

  • Yes, all part numbers in the AM64x family support 1G TSN, AM6411 is the entry point device. Specific TSN features supported in CPSW3G of AM64 family are:

    Dual Multi MAC mode, traditional 2x Ethernet port 10M/100M/1G

    Multi port Switch mode, IEEE 802.1Q-2018 VLAN aware wire rate 1G switch, 2 external ports. Cut-through supported, configurable per queue (VLAN priority). Ethernet LAN will look like 1 MAC port to Linux, same commands as with a virtual bridge in Linux, just the bridging is offloaded to hardware.

    802.1AS-2011 using Common Platform Time Sync (CPTS) module and linuxptp. 802.1AS-2020 can also be supported by the HW, stack is not included in SDK.
    802.1Qbv Enhancements for Scheduled Traffic (EST) Offload
    802.1Qbu / 802.3br Intersperse Express Traffic (IET) Frame Preemption offload
    802.1Qav Forwarding and Queuing Enhancements for Time-Sensitive Streams (FQTSS, 802.1Qav)

    Further some capabilities for 802.1Qci filtering are supported.

    Linux documentation is at:

    R5 freeRTOS support coming in later releases.
