AM6548: EtherCAT G

Kanae
Guru 10165 points
Part Number: AM6548



Sitara Support Team,

I understand that both PRU-ICSS and PRU-ICSSG use
almost the same EtherCAT slave firmware at the moment,
is there any plan for the AM65xx PRU-ICSSG
to support EtherCAT G in the future?

I refer to the following sites to inquire,

Best regards,
Kanae

    EtherCAT is already supported on PRU-ICSSG

    You can take a look at

    The user guide there will be by end of the week, indicating support for AM65x. You can then download the latest AM65x SDK and start working.

    Regards

    Hi Vineet,

    Thank you for your reply.

    In your post, "EtherCAT is already supported on PRU-ICSSG" means
    that PRU-ICSSG supports "EtherCAT G" in the following site?

    I could not find about the details of "EtherCAT G" in the PRU_ICSS_EtherCAT_Release_Notes.

    If the user guide does not  describe about "EtherCAT G" now, could you please inform me
    where I can find the details of "EtherCAT G" in the site you pointed in next week.

    Best regards,
    Kanae

    Hi Vineet and Sitara Support Team,

    I would like to make sure that "EtherCAT G is already supported on PRU-ICSSG" or not?
    If it is not supported yet, is there a plan that PRU-ICSSG of AM65xx supports "EtherCAT G" in future?

    I have to report this to my customer so I need to have the correct information ASAP.
    Your prompt reply would be really appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Kanae

    Hi Kanae,

    Edit : I made a mistake in reading earlier. What TI supports is the regular EtherCAT protocol on ICSS-G devices, not the newer EtherCAT G.

    Hi Vineet,

    Thank you for your support.

    I could understand that the PRU_ICSS EtherCAT firmware header in C:\ti\PRU-ICSS-EtherCAT_Slave_01.00.08.01\protocols\ethercat_slave\firmware\g_v1.0 is for the regular EtherCAT (100Mbps) with AM65xx.

    My customer would like to verify EtherCAT G from Feb-2020.
    Is there plan to support EtherCAT G for AM65xx?

    If not, does TI have a plan that TI processor will support  EtherCAT G in future?

    Best regards,
    Kanae

    Hi Kanae,

    Not in the near future.

    Can you tell me more about your requirements ? What is the time frame ? End product etc ?

    If not in this forum then please reach out via the TI representative and we can discuss.

    Regards

    Hi Vineet,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Which is quicker to get the result of the discussion as TI,
    contacting you by private message or contacting TI local sales?

    Best regards,
    Kanae

    Hi Kanae,

    You can do both.

    Please contact TI local sales, as it gets tracked through a process and send me requirements through a private message, we can discuss the technical issues there.

    If nothing else then please accept the suggested answer and I will close this thread.

    Regards
