Looking to develop an EtherCat slave based on the AM335x and I was planning on starting with the TMDXICE3359 <http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdxice3359> as a development board. Before ordering I'd like to make sure that I am ordering everything I need.
I think I need:
- The TMDXIC3359 board <http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdxice3359>
- SYS/BIOS Industrial Software Development Kit software <http://www.ti.com/tool/sysbiossdk-ind-sitara>
- Code Composer Studio <http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio>
- an EtherCat master (like the Beckhoff TwinCat)
So a few questions:
- Is there anything else that I'll need to get started? JTAG cables, power supply, other cables, software?
- Do I need to purchase a cope of Code Composer or can I use the free download version?
- Does the free version of Code Composer and the EtherCat SYS/BIOS work together on a WinXP 64bit machine? On Linux?
Thanks for any help
