SYS/BIOS & NDK

Mike,

The NIMUDeviceTable should be defined in an Ethernet driver.  Are you linking an EMAC driver in your application?

Scott

Hi Scott,

It doesn't appear so...

When using the configuration GUI, I selected "Add the EMAC module to my configuration", the device selection combo box only has 4 choices: None, EVMxxx, TMDxxx, and DK_xxx - I'm trying to build for an AM335x Starter Kit (SK_AM3358_CortexA).  Where will I find it's EMAC driver squirreled away?

Thanks for the insights!

Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm trying to verify availability of a driver for your configuration.  This is across timezones, I’ll reply back as soon as I hear anything…

Scott

Thanks.  Looking forward to hearing back.

Hi Scott,

Any word on a driver with the NIMU device table definitions for the AM335x Starter Kit yet?

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I did hear back there is a preliminary version about to be released, but it is bundled with an SDK that is still waiting on some other components to be completed. 

I’m trying to see if we can get you a pre-release of the driver, but haven’t been able to confirm if this is possible yet.  

How urgently do you need this?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

As soon as possible!  We're squished against a deadline later this month (lost a lot of development time over the past month between learning curve of CCS, SYS/BIOS, Starter Kit, etc.) and this seems to be the final piece of the puzzle.  I should be able to work with pre-release and will be happy to supply feedback to whomever is working on the SDK.

I really appreciate your help reaching out to other developers on our behalf!

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

A quick update: the driver team is now looking into how to get you a pre-release of the driver.  There are some dependent components that need to be extracted too.  They should be contacting you directly, soon…

Scott

Outstanding!  Looking forward to hearing from them.  Thanks for your help Scott!

Mike

Hi Scott,

I haven't heard anything from the driver team yet, any chance you can ping them for me?

Thanks,

Mike

Thank you!

Mike,

It appears that the development engineer has reached out to you on a 1:1 channel, so I am going to mark this thread as Answered.

I am also in need of the same pre-release driver. How can I get a copy?

Hello,

i have the same problem (AM335x Starter Kit / SYS/BIOS 6_35_01_29/ NDK 2_22_03_20).

Is it possible to post some link to pre-release driver? Or is there any other way how to obtain this driver?

Thanx for your answer,

David

The driver is now available in the latest release of the Industrial SDK V1.1.0.1.

Hi,

Were can I find this Industrial SDK?

Hi Frank,

Sorry my fault, , I have this trouble with AM3894 for own platform based on evmDM8168. I want to use EMAC, TCP/IP.

There are EMAC drivers for this processor?
