Part Number: AM5728

Hello,

Could tell me whether AM5728 can support the NIC teaming function of Ethernet?
My customers want to care the fault tolerant with the NIC teaming function.

Hello Biser-san,

Thank you for your reply.
The OS they use is not fixed.
So, could you tell me the feasibility for both Linux and RTOS?

Best Regards,
Nomo

Hi,

The NIC teaming in Linux is called bonding. This is a higher level Linux kernel network function as it combines ports in the network stack if I am correct. What I mean by higher level is that the kernel community supports this feature, it was not developed by TI but uses the low level network drivers provided by TI as part of SOC Linux support. If you are using the TI Processors Linux SDK you will need to enable bonding as a module in the kernel config and build the kernel and drivers. This feature is not enabled in the TI default kernel configuration.

Schuyler
