AM6548: TSN

Nancy Wang
Expert 8210 points
Part Number: AM6548

Hi team,

The customer wants to design a TSN-based industrial automation product. We are considering to buy your AM65x IDK to evaluate TSN. To develop AM65x-based TSN product, we have some questions:
1. Is the AM65x IDK in stock now?
2. What is the operation system running in AM65x? is that TI-RTOS?
3. How do you implement TSN in PRU? Is that a TSN stack? Is this TSN stack free? Will you provide the TSN stack to us?
4. In the future, after you implementing other TSN standards, e.g. 802.1Qbu, 802.1Qcc, will you provide updated TSN stack freely?
5. In your TSN demo, how did you configure the TSN switches?
6. About your TSN demo, will you provide detailed technical guide to us for reference?

    Hi,

    1. Yes the AM65x IDK is available: www.ti.com/.../tmdx654idkevm
    2. It supports both: Processor SDK Linux & RTOS.

    And here is what I can answer on the other questions:
    3. As far as I know this is a TSN stack, yes.
    4. We don't have the plans for future releases, so I cannot say.
    5. Again we don't have the plans for future releases. Currently it is: TSN 1G Switch (802.1AS, 802.1QBu/802.3br, 802.1Q-2014)
    6. Have a look at the following training series:
    training.ti.com/tsn-sitara-processors

    Best Regards,
    Yordan

    Hi Yordan,

    Thanks for your feedback. And I have some below questions:

    1. which OS did you use in your TSN demo? I want to use 3 AM65x IDKs to implement a same TSN demo as yours, so that I can evaluate TSN functions, is it correct that I can run either Processor SDK Linux or RTOS on AM65x processor?
    2. I am not familiar with TI-RTOS, if I use TI-RTOS on AM65x IDK, do I need to cross-compile my applications on a host PC?
    3. An important issue is : is your TSN stack free? or Do I need to pay for the TSN stack separately? If I need to pay, how much is the TSN stack?
    4. In your TSN demo, what tool did you use to set the TSN stack in PRU (e.g. how did you set the time schedule for time aware shaper). I think you might have implemented a central user configurator (CUC) to set the TSN stack, what protocols are used between CUC and your AM65x IDK? TCP/IP or OPCUA? Do you provide technical guides to set the TSN stack?
    5. I have studied your TSN training series, as in training.ti.com/tsn-sitara-processors . I think this provides very limited technical support. Only by refering this training series, it is very difficlut for the users to develop AM65x-based TSN products, so do you have more detailed technical guides?

    I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    Best regards,
    Ting

    Hi Ting,

    You've asked this on a separate thread:
    e2e.ti.com/.../759811

    I've notified the design team to elaborate on your questions there. I am closing this thread.
