Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDS64EVM
Dear TI team,
I noticed that older versions of the AM6x series have only two PRUs while the AM6442 has six PRUs per switch. Which of those are used for the protocols HSR, PRP, and PTP? What is running on the others?
The way I understand it there exists precompiled firmware for the PRUs and a Linux kernel module working together, such that from Linux the switch with HSR or PRP looks like a normal Ethernet link. I downloaded the ind_comms SDK, but all examples I found there use an R5F core with FreeRTOS instead of an A53 core with Linux. Is there some other SDK for HSR/PRP on Linux? 100 MBit/s is enough for us, we don't need Gigabit Ethernet.
Where can I find the precompiled firmware for the PRUs? I would probably need several combinations of HSR/PRP/RSTP with or without PTP.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards
Leon Rigoni
