RTOS/AMIC110: PROFIBUS Slave software availability

Expert 6160 points
Part Number: AMIC110
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS, , TLK110

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi , can you please let know when software will be available for  AMIC enabling :

-        PRU-ICSS profibus_Slave Sale Software

 

Or Application Note / Wiki  how to modify to interface with and Host the existing PROFIBUS_Slave SW

And telling how we can “measure” the amount of memory required that would run on AMIC and on Host to ensure DDR-less use of AMIC

Thanks

Nico

  • The RTOS team have been notified. They will respond here.
  • Hi Nico

    It is planned but does not have a forecast date. It may be a little while before it is available. Please note that the AMIC110 ICE, unlike the AM335x ICE, does not have the physical drivers for Profibus on the EVM. It will be necessary to develop and adapter board to use the AMIC110 ICE for Profibus.

    However, there is a fairly good alternative. The AMIC110 is a subset of the AM335x. The AM335x ICE can be a good alternative to support your development.
    The chief difference being the to devices are the 300 MHz ARM clock maximum and fewer device peripherals on the AMIC110.

    If you wish to start development on the AM335 and later move that code back to the AMIC110 board there will be a few changes that are necessary. Fortunately both the AMIC110 and the AM335x ICE use UART1 for the ProfiBus , so there will be no change there.
    One difference to note is that the AM335x ICE uses UART3 for terminal output while AMIC110 uses UART0 for terminal output.
    There are some additional differences in the GEL and bootloader files for the two boards since the AMIC110 ICE has a 25 MHz ARM processor clock input vs 24 MHz on the AM335x and the AMIC110 uses the DP83822 Ethernet phy vs the TLK110 phy on the AM335x .
    The Phy difference will probably not be a concern but is good to know.
