AM5728: Acontis EtherCAT Master build

Part Number: AM5728
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDEP0079, SYSBIOS

Hello,
I'm working on a CCS build to trace the TIDEP0079 Design Guide (Rev. B).

The page-6 describes the CCS operations:

Could you please help us to have a successful build ?

>>

4. Open CCS and import the EC-Master demonstration project
(a) Navigate to File→Import→CCS Projects
(b) Navigate to the installation directory: <ECmaster_installation_path>\Acontis_EC_master\EC_Master_Sysbios_SDK_Eval\Workspace\SYSBIOS\EcMasterDemo
(c) Click OK, and then click Finish
(d) Check that SYSBIOS, XDC, and compiler versions are correct in the CCS Project Properties
(e) Click the Clean Project option
(f) Click the Build Project option

<<

Our operation history was:

- Additional installs according to page-5.

- (a,b,c) CCS project import, As non copy.

- Project property edit:

  > Resource > Linked Resources > Path Variables: Defined TI_PDK_INSTALL_DIR

  > Resource > Linked Resources > Path Variables: Defined NDK_INSTALL_DIR

  > Resource > Linked Resources > Linked Resources > Invalid locations (3 entries): chnaged from 1_0_2 to 1_0_4

- Clean

- Build


... Lots of errors still there as below:

  • The RTOS team have been notified. They will respond here.
  • Hideaki-san, It seems PDK is not pick up correctly. Could you check PDK1.0.4 is selected in project properties-> General -> Products and Repositories?. Also, in Build -> Variables? (I think you already did this)

    Another, possible issue is that I see you are using "xdctools_3_31_03_43_core" however, for PDK1.0.4 the correct XDC tools version is 3_32_00_06_core as shown in PDK 1.0.4 pdksetupenv.bat (C:\TI\pdk_am57xx_1_0_4\packages).

    Finally, acontis have a newer EC-Master version 3.0, which will be published on the web soon. This version works with a newer PSDK 4.2.

    I would highly suggest you request this greatest-latest version to acontis support (ecsupport@acontis.com). EC-Master v3.0 for PRU-ICSS is a more robust, and production ready version. Also, you can pick TI-RTOS version or Linux version.

    Thank you,

    Paula

  • Paura,
    Thank you for your response.
    If I try the latest version, what mateiral tells the version requirements for supporting tools?
    At least could you please edit the following list ?  (This list was copied from tidubz1b.pdf)
    - AM57x SYS/BIOS Processor SDK v3.1.0.6
    - Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) 6.1.3 Compiler GNU v4.8.4 or higher
    - SYS/BIOS 6.45.01.29
    - XDC v3.32.00.06_core
    - AM572x PDK v1.00.04
    - Network development kit (NDK) 2.24.03.35

  • Hideaki-san, latest acontis PRU-ICSS Ec-Master v3.0.0.19 (latest I am aware) works on top of PSDK 4.2 (Linux and TI-RTOS)

    To keep it similar to TIDEP0079, say you will test TI-RTOS version. Then, please download AM57x TI-RTOS PSDK 4.2.0.0 . PSDK 4.2 installs AM57xx PDK 1.0.9. You can get the tool version  used for this particular PSDK inside pkdsetupenv script as shown below:

    XDC_VERSION=3_50_03_33_core

    BIOS_VERSION=6_52_00_12

    GCC_VERSION_HARDLIB=6.3.1

    I think NDK is actually not needed, in any case the version would be NDK_VERSION=2_26_00_08

    thank you,

    Paula

  • Paura,
    Thank you very much. We will try.
