AM3359: ICEv2 third Ethernet port

Part Number: AM3359

Hello,

I am trying to realize the following system with the AM3359 (ICEV2):

  • The system should be able to act as a powerlink CN (controlled node) using the two ETH ports as cut through switch
  • On the other side the system should be able to communicate with a different device via BSD socket communication.
  • The IP and Subnet from the LAN of the BSD socket communication is different to the powerlink LAN.

For the powerlink CN we use the powerlink library from Port GmbH. As stand alone solution it works and we are capable of sending and receiving DATA from and to a powerlink Master Node (MN).
For the TCP socket communication we use also a Telnet Server for the purpose of debugging.
Because of the reasons that the TCP devices have different IP addresses and subnets to the powerlink devices.

As a result I need a third ETH interface with the possibility of:

  • Defining a different IP and Subnet
  • BSD socket communication
  • Telnetserver instance

Is this constellation possible?
It is quite obvious that the third ETH interface is not available at the ICEV2 board, but with a custom board this should be possible ...

I'm looking forward to your response
