AM5728: RTOS and EtherCAT support

Nagamahesh,

TI doesn`t support phyCORE-5728 SOM platform. Please contact Phytec for support for this platform support. 

If you still want to understand the process of porting Processor SDK RTOS code to custom platform, I recommend that you refer to the application note here:

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_board.html#custom-board-addition

Hope this helps understand the process.  Please start by comparing the schematic and feature set of TI AM572x IDK platform with phycore. This will help you undertstand, what part of board library needs to be modified to port the support to your platform.

Once the baseline Processor SDK RTOS functionality is validated then you can look to porting the EtherCAT firmware. That stack may not need much modification and ICSS Ethercat firmware will be the same so you may just need to look into the MII -PHY setup and memory related changes in case you are running with a different memory foot print.

Nagamahesh,

Sorry for the delayed reply. No, AM572x EVM is not the suitable platform for EtherCAT implementation as it doesn`t not bring out PRU_MII pins or industrial ethernet ports. The ideal platforms for EtherCAT development is AM574x IDK:

You will need to install Processor SDK RTOS and PRU ICSS Protocol stack as described herE:
