PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X: Ethernet PHY (CPSW3G) Driver

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM620-Q1

Greetings,

Does there exist a driver for use with the CPSW3G subsystem of the AM620-Q1 microprocessor? I have read the programming guide in the TRM but I am wondering if there is a driver available to make things simpler.

I am using the AM62x-SK-LP eval kit, and planning to use the RGMII peripherals.

I am using MCU+ SDK 9.01 and there is not a driver included for this module.

I am using Windows 10 OS. Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Paul

  • Thanks for your query.

    Unfortunately, as of now there is no support for FreeRTOS and NoRTOS application on A53 cores. For more info, please refer the MCU+SDK release notes. 

    To do development on A53 cores, recommendation is to use Processor SDK Linux. For more info, please refer Processor SDK Linux Guide.

    To know more about Linux development please refer AM62x Academy.

    Best Regards

  • Hi Ashwani,

    Thanks for the reply!

    I see in the release notes that there is no support for FreeRTOS and NoRTOS on A53 cores, as you said.

    [edited] However, allow me to clarify my question because I later realized that what I am asking is much bigger than I initially thought.

    In the datasheet for the AM62x Sitara Processors, it says the following in Section 1 ("Features"):

    My revised question: Does TI have a recommended driver or Ethernet Stack (no-cost or otherwise) for this processor and PHY that can jump-start me with the Ethernet interface?

    [update] After more research I think this thread cleared my confusion, and now I understand better what you are meaning in your response.

    Kind Regards,

    Paul
