PRU Firmware for PRU-ICSS Remoteproc Driver

Juergen Schuster

Is it possible to get the PRU Firmware for ethercat_slave, ethernetip and profiubs_slave in elf format.
I want to use it in linux with the new remoteproc driver.

Juergen,
the Industrial Communication protocols require dedicated drivers in each case (as provided with IA-SDK). They not work with the remoteproc drivers of Linux.

Hi Juergen,

These are provided only as demos in the AM335X Industrial SDK (http://www.ti.com/tool/sysbiossdk-ind-sitara).

Is it possible to use the industrial communication protocols with the uio driver under linux?

I am not sure if that makes sense. The drivers use a couple of IRQ usually in addition to shared memory. You may have a look at the drivers as we supply them in source with the IA-SDK. The low level is just C code and we integrate with Sys/Bios. Examples then are Sys/Bios based too. No other OS support from TI available on PRU based industrial communication at the moment.
