Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROFIBUS, SYSBIOS, , AM3359
Tool/software: Linux
I would need some information on the Sitara / Profibus project.
We started looking at the system to see the possibility of making an application that needs the profibus master (the FDL stack). We have, for testing, a BBB board with the AMX3358 processor.
We found the Profibus Master project from TI website. From what I understood in the package there are the codes (in object format) to be downloaded in the two PRUs that should implement the FDL stack, at the ARM machine level, and it requires the SysBios realtime operating system.
The questions at the moment are:
1) Did I interpret well? Does the stack exist only in object format and should we use SysBios as a host?
2) Are there any other possibilities? Eg. Use Linux as a host?
3) Is the FDL stask available in source format for the PRUs? However, we compiled everything as instructed (Code Composer Studio 8) and tried to download everything on the BBB but does not leave anything,
4) can you use the BBB to do some tests before designing the board?
