Hi

i was working with AM335x ICE board.
It was getting scanned properly , IO operation was also working.
I was able to Run the board in DC mode but suddenly something happened and now when i scan the board it is not going in OP mode and i am experiencing

these errors:-

I dont know why exactly it is behaving like this , i tried changing the esi file , updating the eeprom and also reprogrammed the processor but no success.

Thanks in advance.

I have notified the ISDK team. They will respond directly here.

When i plug the CAT5 cable to the board than without even scanning or anything the ethernet LED D2 starts blinking RED.

Thanks

Hi Prashant, did you modify the EtherCAT application? could you please try prebuild application? You can get prebuild binaries from ISDK download webpage (downloads.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html)
Also have you connect check console terminal messages? (you can use teraterm or a similar console software)

thank you,
Paula

Hi Paula,

i have already tried with the pre-built application, but it was of no use as same errors were there.

In this case how will teraterm will be useful ??

Thanks
Prashant

Hi Prashant, teraterm would be just to see if there is any message or error printed in console which can give us more clues. One question, maybe your board has an application pre-flashed? If so , you can try to change boot jumper position (just to see if it helps) or erase the flash. Below some links for your reference

Hi Paula,

i ll try with teraterm.

After experiencing this problem i erased the application on my board and flashed the one given in pre-built binaries along with bootloader still error was there.

And yesterday this board was working fine and suddenly it started behaving like this .

can it be because of ESI files ??

Just so u know i tried changing the ESI files also but of no use.

Thanks
Prashant

Hi Paula,

i tried using teraterm(by connecting serial to usb connector) but on teraterm console screen nothing is there.
After connecting to teraterm i performed twincat3 operation.
Twincat3 is throwing error but nothing is there on teraterm console screen.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Prashant one option for debugging is connecting CCS and step into the code. You can get EtherCAT slave project (stack as a library) from IASDK examples (e.g. C:\TI\sysbios_ind_sdk_02.01.02.02\sdk\examples\ethercat_slave) or alternatively you can have the full stack following User guide steps ()

Thank you,

Paula
