Linux/AM3352: Migration from WinCE

Part Number: AM3352

Tool/software: Linux

Hi Sir

We used Wince6 in AM3352 platform for development. Currently we would like to transfer to Linux OS and have some questions.

1. we need to move current CE application to Linux and Linux needs .net support. 

   a. how about the impaction for performance? 

       PS:  It’s Mono framework which can support .Net full stack, Currently, binary release for Raspbian is available for download.

2.we used Keyware (Pro Modbustocol) on wince in our product. does TI have any experience for this? Or could we find out exist alternative?

please advise

    The Processor SDK does not currently include support for .NET. We do plan to support it in the future, but don't have a firm development plan at this point and I can't provide any specific dates.

    The SDK is built using Yocto/OE. There is a mono layer here:

    http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mono

    You should be able to use this, along with some Yocto/OE knowledge to add it yourself if waiting for the SDK is not an option.

    If you just want to benchmark performance, you should be able to use the Debian release of Mono that comes from the BeagleBone Black community. This is not something supported by TI, but it may provide a good path for you to evaluate .NET on AM335x quickly.

    I can't really comment on the expected performance.

    Similar to above, there are open source Modbus protocols, and closed source options, that should work great with Linux and AM335x. You will need to integrate it into you Linux system.

    I hope this information helps you.
