TMDS64EVM: Ethernet IP Demo

Ryuuichi machida

Part Number: TMDS64EVM

Tool/software:

Hello,

I'm trying to perform Ethernet IP demo which is provided by TI SDK.
I will configure AM243X as Adapter. To create this configuration, I'm referring following URL.
https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AS.rktbMZWqOI44z5gdsGA__AM24X-ACADEMY__ZPSnq-h__LATEST

According to above URL, EVM of AM64 can be emulated as like PLC.
So, I'm trying to create software environment by following below information.

Then I have following questions.

Q1. When I access "Codesys control package for 64bit ARM", and "Codesys Development system", access was denied.
How can we get these software information ?

Q2. When I check following information, I found sentence of "Setup your AM64x EVM running RT-linux as described in the Quick Start Guide".

However, when I access "AM64x General Purpose EVM Quick Start Guide", it seems that information of this page is for RTOS or baremetal (Because jump to "MCU+SDK" document.).
Should I install RT-linux for A53 apart from "MCU+SDK" ?

Best Regards,

Hi,

I have assigned the thread to the EIP Stack expert, please ping the thread again if you dont get a response by early next week. In the meanwhile, please confirm what version of the Industrial Comms SDK you're using.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.
>please confirm what version of the Industrial Comms SDK you're using.
I will try to use version 11.00.00.08. However, I think I'm asking questions which is not related to SDK version.

Looks like the links have been moved. We'll update the documentation with the new links. You can refer to the following:

CODESYS Development System V3 - https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys.html
CODESYS Control for Linux ARM SL - https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-control-for-linux-arm-sl-1.html

Yes, you'd need to install the RT-Linux for AM64x from : https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-RT-AM64X

You can refer to the AM64x Quick Start guide for more details on Booting Linux on EVM here: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/tirex-product-tree/processors-devtools/am64x_gpevm_quick_start_guide.html .

Also, I'd highly recommend checking out the AM64x Linux academy here : https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AEIJm0rwIeU.2P1OBWwlaA__AM64-ACADEMY__WI1KRXP__LATEST

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I understood we need RT-linux for AM64x.
However, I'm not sure how I should implement "industrial communication SDK" environment.
As simple way, I can use wic file to implement default RT linux image to SD card.

However, I'm not sure how "industrial communication SDK" is implemented to configure scanner environment.

Could you give your comment about this ?

Hi Ryuuichi,

On the Linux side, you don't need to install the Industrial Communication SDK for AM64x, as it only relates to adapter stack and examples. I apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

For the EtherNet/IP scanner side, you'll need RT-Linux, which you've already mentioned, along with the Codesys-related tools as specified in the documentation.

Best regards,
Pourya
