PROCESSOR-SDK-AMIC110: EtherCAT Slave patch file

could you tell me how allocated AMIC110 kernel resources  and what is the role of the M3 core?     preferably with a block diagram to describe.       When running ethercat slave source code, how to work together between the kernel?     

I use CCS version 6.2, go to this step PDK Example and Test Project Creation

detected test project about i2c,but can't find the path,  CCS version 7.1 also have this problem   This is a question about the AMIC110 SDK

I use pdk_am335x_1_0_7, processor_sdk_rtos_am335x_4_00_00_04, PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.04.00, CCS7.1.0,windows7

rebuilding GPIO test project appear three warnings, as shown in the picture above,rebuilding other projects will be such a situation and Can not open am335x.cfg

what should I do？

Hi

It looks like you may have installed the Processor SDK in a directory other than the default c:\ti.and CCS is unable to find the paths.  When installing the Processor SDK and CCS in a directory other than C:\ti - it is necessary to take additional steps when creating the Processor SDK examples. The start of the description is

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_RTOS_Getting_Started_Guide#Setting_up_CCS_for_EVM_and_Processor-SDK_RTOS

Take the link for the custom installation path http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_RTOS_Install_In_Custom_Path

On that page you will want to look at two items:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_RTOS_Install_In_Custom_Path#Changes_to_CCS_Configuration

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_RTOS_Install_In_Custom_Path#Creating_PDK_Example.2FTest_Projects_When_CCS_is_Installed_to_Custom_Path 

Later when you wish to create a PRU-Industrial Project it will be necessary to update the projectcreate .bat or sh file in C:\your_directory\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_version\protocols\ethercat_slave\projects definitions for

Set CCS installation directory path(Mandatory) - The path where folder 'eclipse' is located
set "CCS_INSTALL_DIR=C:\ti\ccsv7"

::Set the CCS workspace location(Mandatory). Workspace will be created if it doesn't exist!   I always leave the base directory %USERPROFILE%\ but name the workspace to something like ECS_verX
set "CCS_WORKSPACE_LOC=%USERPROFILE%\ccs_workspace"      

:Set PDK Installation directory path(Mandatory for AM335x projects)
set "AM335x_PDK_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_7\packages"

David

The above is the CCS7.3 installation directory

This is ti-processor-sdk-rtos-am335x-evm-04.02.00.09-Windows-x86 installation directory

The above is all the components installed

After installing SDK and CCS, open the CCS installation below

Then build the project and rebuild it

There is still a warning, the warning of other projects is the same

I reinstall the WIN10 system, SDK and CCS are the default installation path, I do not know where the problem appears, how should I do, thank you

Hi

Set PDK Installation directory path(Mandatory for AM335x projects)
set "AM335x_PDK_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_7\packages"

When installing Processor SDK 4.0.0 in a directory other than C:\ti

is correct

David

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean

CCS7.3 and SDK4.2 installed in the same directory, as you can see follows

Then I opened the CCS installation component，but there are two  warnings during installation edma3_lld_2_12_05_30B , as you can see follow

I do not know if this warning led to a problem later in the build project 

and you told me set "AM335x_PDK_INSTALL_PATH=C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_9\packages"  Is it like the following operation?

Compile project will be warned  as you can see follow

How to set PDK path? What should I do at each step? Thank you

Hi

When following the steps in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_RTOS_Getting_Started_Guide#Download_and_install_software

The warning that you see about unsigned content is normal. We just select OK and continue.

I get the same warning when building the application.

The console should show

'Finished building target: GPIO_LedBlink_iceAMIC110_armTestProject.out'

followed by

C:/ti/pdk_am335x_1_0_9/packages/MyExampleProjects/GPIO_LedBlink_iceAMIC110_armTestProject/Debug GPIO_LedBlink_iceAMIC110_armTestProject AM335x arm

' '

**** Build Finished ***

David

I proceed to the next step

The next step is to execute the following command on the command line:       patch.exe -i C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.04.02\protocols\pdk_patches\04.00.00\PRSDK-2507_amic_spi_pinmux.patch -d C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_7\packages -p0 --binary --verbose

The result shows the following:

The document shows this:

Where is the problem?  Related links below

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Industrial_Protocol_Package_Getting_Started_Guide

I want to download PRU ICSS EtherCAT Slave 01.00.03. could you give me a download link?

I have compiled AMIC11x arm ethercat_slave_full and generated .out file. When I download the app to the development board, the program is running normally, but after the power is turned on, there is no running program on the development board. Is the program not downloaded to flash? What should I do, AMIC11x arm ethercat_slave_full should be configured with TwinCat software?

I have downloaded the above file to flash as required 

But I didn't do the following

Apply the PDK patch for Thumb mode. For the DDR-less EtherCAT application to build, it is critical that the Processor SDK is built in Thumb mode. A patch file is included in the PRU-ICSS-ETHERCATSLAVEv1.00.05 package at [INSTALLDIR]/protocols/pdk_patches/04.01.00/AM335x_PDK_1_0_8_thumb_mode.patch. After applying this patch the Processor SDK PDK needs to be cleaned and rebuilt. Follow the PDK rebuild procedure.

I want to know where the LLD path is     Is the following right?

patch.exe -i C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.05.00\protocols\pdk_patches\04.01.00\AM335x_PDK_1_0_8_thumb_mode.patch -d C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_8\packages\ti\drv

Use the command line cd to the C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.05.00\patch-2.5.9-7-bin\bin folder to execute the command patch.exe -i C:\ti\PRU-ICSS- EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.05.00\protocols\pdk_patches\04.01.00\AM335x_PDK_1_0_8_thumb_mode.patch -p0 -d C:\ti\pdk_am335x_1_0_8\packages

The following problem occurs

Where does the problem occur？

CD to which folder to execute the following command?
Which commands should be executed by AMIC110 ddrless?
Can you tell me the specific steps?

Hello, the document does not say the specific steps in the application PRSDK_4_2_migration.patch, can you tell me how to do it?
I know I need to use the [Dos2Unix/Unix2Dos-DIR]/bin/unix2dos.exe and patch.exe commands
But I don't know which path to use these commands

I read the following document
But do not know how to operate

I downloaded SDK 4.2 and replaced SDK4.1 startware folder with SDK4.2 startware folder  Is this okay?

There is a problem with Booting Via McSPI

I don't know how to configure step two（configure the board for SPI boot mode）What should be done specifically？ thank you

>>I downloaded SDK 4.2 and replaced SDK4.1 startware folder with SDK4.2 startware folder  Is this okay?

No, but you can copy the 3 updated files (sbl_am335x_platform.c, component.mk, platform.mk) from PRSDK 4.3 to PRSDK4.2 and then build in the PRSDK4.2 to get the MLO.

You can skip the step two for AMIC110 ICE, "The default SYSBOOT settings for the AMIC110 ICE are 1000_0000_0001_1000b. These settings correspond to a boot sequence of SPI0, MMC0, USB0, and UART0.", see details in section 2.1 Boot Configuration,

Thank you very much for your guidance. The ICE-AMIC110 is working, but I have encountered some problems in configuring Twincat.

This is the status after scanning in Connection Twincat

project:AMIC11x arm ethercat_slave_full

AMIC11x arm ethercat_slave_full successfully working in ddrless mode

Next step is to configure Twincat software as follow

1    I do not know which file should be copied to <Drive>:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT folder

note(C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.05.00\examples\ethercat_slave\esi\TiEtherCATLib

   or       C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.05.00\protocols\ethercat_slave\ecat_appl\esi\TI_ESC)      could you told me which one?

2 Start the TwinCAT XAE (VS2013)

3 Create a new TwinCAT XAE project: File > New > Project > TwinCAT Project

4 Goto TwinCAT > Show Real Time Ethernet Compatible Devices and Install TwinCAT RT Ethernet intermediate driver

5 In Solution Explorer go to your new TwinCAT project > I/0 > right click Device1(EtherCAT)> select Scan Boxes

my question is why TI Boxn (ti-esc) is not detected automatically？

Is it related to the TwinCAT installation directory or related to the TwinCAT project workspace？

How should I get TwinCAT driver for real-time Ethernet adapter?

as you said I just install  realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller for demo use only

could you send me a link about  Supported Network Controller by Beckhoff Ethernet Driver          The link on the document cannot be opened
