Dear all,

Did Linux support PRU-Eth function in processor_sdk_sitara_am64x_07_02_00_02?

Thanks

Hello Kuanlun,

We are adding Linux RemoteProc support for loading and initializing PRU in AM64x Linux Processor SDK 8.0. So the earliest Linux could support PRU Ethernet is SDK 8.0.

I am double-checking on schedule with the team now. Are you looking for generic Ethernet, or specific networking protocols?

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

We want generic Ethernet first, and then we also want to test EtherCAT if it is available for PRU.

Thanks.

To confirm, are you looking for EtherCAT slave or EtherCAT master?

Regards,

Nick

EtherCAT master over PRU

We have our EtherCAT master solution running on raw socket Ethernet.

We want to test PRU solution to evaluate its jitter and performance.
