PROCESSOR-SDK-AM437X: SDK-09.01: Linux PRU ETH drivers

Hello Alex,

Linux PRU Ethernet support was descoped for the Linux kernel 6.1 release, as per the note in the release notes:
https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM437X/09_01_00_001/exports/docs/devices/AM437X/linux/Release_Specific_Release_Notes.html#release-09-01-00

It came down to a resourcing challenge last year - our developers only had the bandwidth to focus on porting either PRU_ICSSG gigabit Ethernet on newer devices like AM64x, or PRU-ICSS 100M Ethernet on AM335x & AM437x, and we chose to focus on the ICSSG version of the code then.

We will add support back for PRU Ethernet on AM335x & AM437x on the SDK 10.1 release (the Linux kernel 6.6 release for AM335x & AM437x). That should be sometime around the end of the year. Let me know if you want me to ask around for the tentative timeframe for SDK 10.1.

Regards,

Nick

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the ping. I didn't get any responses the first time, reaching out to some different folks to see if I can get a time estimate for you.
