Linux/AM5728: Industrial protocol support

U-SK
Genius 5840 points
Part Number: AM5728

Tool/software: Linux

Hello.

I would like to run Linux based application software on A15 core and TI-RTOS based Industrial software(e.g. Ethercat, Profinet, CC-Link IE Field Basic...) on PRU-ICSS.

Is it possible?

Regards,

U-SK

    Hi,

    The PRU-ICSS Protocols enable real-time industrial communications for TI Sitara processors. The PRU-ICSS protocols are built to use on top of Processor SDK RTOS, TI’s unified software development platform, and contain optimized PRU-ICSS firmware, a corresponding PRU-ICSS driver for the ARM processor and example applications. The PRU-ICSS firmware runs on the PRU cores, offloading the time-critical link layer processing from the main ARM processor, running TI-RTOS. The PRU-ICSS driver provides simple access to the PRU-ICSS resources and integrates easily with the protocol stack and application software running on the ARM core. The examples further illustrate how to integrate low-level firmware with the protocol stack and application software.

    Hi Biser,

    Thank you for your reply.
    TI recommends that A15 also run with TI-RTOS when running TI-RTOS based industry protocol on PRU-ICSS?
    Is it possible to run A15 on Linux when operating TI-RTOS based industry protocol on PRU-ICSS?
    Unlike running A15 with TI - RTOS, is there any obstacle for Linux?

    Regards,

    Hello U-SK,

    Please take a look at Industrial Communication Protocols Supported on Sitara Processors for a list of protocols TI currently supports on RTOS and Linux. We expect to add support for more protocols in the future, but I cannot say which protocols will be supported on which operating system when.

    Regards,
