AM6442: Have to validate the EtherCAT slave functionality of AM6442

Part Number: AM6442

Tool/software:

Dear TI Support Team,

We are working with the AM6442 processor and would like to test EtherCAT slave functionality on the R5F core running FreeRTOS.

Our goal is to:

  • Configure the AM6442 as an EtherCAT slave device

  • TwinCAT installation steps & TwinCAT compatible version with am6442, we are planning to install on a linux PC as the EtherCAT master.

  • Use the TI ESC (EtherCAT Slave Controller) firmware stack

  • Test basic PDO/SDO communication using a standard ESI file

Kindly provide guidance or any available documentation or SDK patches (e.g. examples, .xml ESI files, test configurations) for:

  • Configuring the PRU-ICSSG on AM6442 for EtherCAT

  • Using the TI EtherCAT Slave stack on R5F with FreeRTOS

  • Setting up and using TwinCAT or EC-Engineer as a master for testing

  • Any scripts or tools available for stack verification and integration

We are using the Processor SDK RT Linux v11.00.09.04 as our baseline.

Thank you,

Ganesh D
