Hi,

Do you load the EtherCAT binary from CCS or SD card with pre-built image?
Do you have TwinCAT properly installed and configured in host PC?

Regards,
Garrett

Hi Garrett
I loaded the EtherCAT binary from SD card with pre-built image.
I can scan out the EtherCAT devices using TwinCAT 3 on host PC.

Hi

Did you incidentally mark the thread 'Resolved'?

What's the UART output after the board is booted up? And can you capture the TwinCAT snapphot here? The pre-built image really should work as is, see e2e.ti.com/.../2883741

You may try to clean the spi flash in case it affects SD card boot.

Regards,
Garrett
