TIDEP0079: EtherCAT Master support

Jian Lao

Part Number: TIDEP0079

Hi,

Thanks for your time reading this post.

My group just started working on EtherCAT implementation, and after some searching, I decided to purchase the TI TIDEP0079 Kit (is it the same as TMDXIDK5728 Kit?) as the reference design for Master.

However, I didn't see any information or link about whether this kit provided any demonstration code. Usually, if you buy a develop kit, the vendor have a serial of demonstration code, from basic to advance, for you to learn from. Can I know whether this kit have this kind of resources?

Thanks so much! I am really sorry I am not an expert on EtherCAT at this stage, so I need this kind of support.

Yes, TI TIDEP0079 Kit is the same as TMDXIDK5728 Kit.

The EtherCAT master EC-Master-V2.9-SYSBIOS-Eval is available for Acontis Technologies, please check - www.acontis.com/.../ethercat-for-ti-processors.html

They provide EtherCAT master solution for the AM335x, AM437x, and AM57x on TI-RTOS and Linux. Processor SDK TI-RTOS and Linux on AM572x is available here - www.ti.com/.../PROCESSOR-SDK-AM57X

Hi Garrett,

After checking the website you provided at :
www.acontis.com/.../ethercat-for-ti-processors.html

I found EtherCAT Master implementation under TI-RTOS. There is no implementation under embedded Linux. The website has this item "EC-Master AM57x/AM437x/AM335x V2.9 Evaluation for Linux", but it is not for download.

So, does TI has any guideline or reference on how to implement EtherCAT under embedded linux environment using TI processors?

Thanks!

Regards,

Jian

Jian,

Please check this material () which refers to CODESYS EtherCAT master on AM572x with RT-Linux. You may have to contact CODESYS and Acontis for their software availability.
