AM5726: Support for multiple industrial protocols

Colombo Carlo

Part Number: AM5726
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS

Hi everybody , 

please I would like to have on one ICSS   ethercat protol and on the other ICSS  another industrial  like profinet for example

I can be on TIRTOS on  A15  or  on Linux RT  :  is it possible to have both protocols at the same time ?

any issues you can see in SW integration on A15 ?

should I think to use hypervisor to make it happen ? so with linurt for ethercat and Tirtos for profinet ?

any advice is very welcome 

thank you very very much

regards

Carlo

    Carlo,

    to keep your piece of mind, yes, it can do. PRUs on AM57x family support different protocols at the same time.

    Apps will reply with more details. but at least you can have a good night of sleep and vacation that you deserve.

    Carlo,

    You might not need hyper visor setup to make it happen. We have couple of implementation of multi-protocol implementation for which we provide TI Designs. the first one contains a firmware based solution where it detects the protocol based on ethernet traffic and loads appropriate firmware. This was done on single core AM335x device using single Cortex A8 as you can see from the TI Design here where the application loads appropriate firmware and stack based on the protocol that it detects on the ethernet port.

    There is a plan to have the above design supported on AM57xx in 2H2018.

    The second implementation is on AM57xx where there is a industrial communication gateway implemented that demonstrates Profibus master and Profinet IRT protocol stacks running simultaneously on A15 core using two PRU-ICSS that allows
