AM5716: PRP am571x. 4 ethernet ports, 2 mac addresses

Anders Viken

Part Number: AM5716

Hi.

We are investigating using PRP with the PRU cores on our am571x based board.

Would an implementation like this be possible with the PRU-ICSS-HSR-PRP-DAN_01.00.05.01 code?

So our idea is to have two separate PRP network, PRP network A and PRP network B, where network A has two ethernet ports (with one MAC Address), and network B has two other ethernet ports (with one Mac address). In total 4 ethernet ports.

Is this a usual way of configuring PRP, and do you think it is a possible to go?

Thanks for your continuous support,

Anders.

And another thing, we could not find too much documentation on how to implement this, except for HSR_PRP_DAN_datasheet.pdf, which is only 7 pages long. Is there any documentation that I have not found that you think could be useful?

And/or, is there any common pitfalls that I should be aware of when implementing PRP on Sitara?

Anders.
