AM3356: Profibus support

Part Number: AM3356
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS

Hi 

We are having an existing board with AM3356 which has the following interfaces 

  • 16 bit DDR3 RAM
  • 8 bit NAND Flash
  • RGMII1 and RGMII 2 used for Gigabit ethernet
  • UART0,UART1,UART3 and 5 used 
  • SPI0 , I2C0 used

We want implement Profibus in this device on using the PR1_UART0_RXD and PR1_UART0_TXD Lines . Whether This is possible .

Whether selecting PRU UART affects other features used in the design ?

Do we need to have a major Firmware change in the board ?

Also is there any other signals required in the Hardware ( apart from Direction control GPIO)

regards

EBy
