Hi!
We are currently evaluating the AM64x SoC, specifically the AM6442BSF variant, for an industrial project that heavily focuses on fieldbus communications.
While we could get some information onf the TI E2E forum, we have not received a definitive answer. Our attempts to contact local sales and support have also not yielded any response so far.
On essential criteria is the product's compatibility with PROFINET and ETHERNET/IP as a device. PROFINET CC-A (RT) is sufficient for our needs.
We have learned the PROFINET stack is no longer available in the current AM64x MCU PLUS SDK (since version 08.04). However, we came across some information in this forum indicating that the PROFINET RT stack might be available, although it has not been officially relased yet.
1) Could you provide us with an update on the status of the PROFINET RT stack? What is the roadmap?
Is it still planned for Aug-2023 as mentionned here?

2) Will the license continue to be included in F device option as before?
3) We understand that ETHERNET/IP is already released and available for industrial production. Is this right?
Please apologize me if the information is already available elsewhere.
Thank you!
Best regards.
