TMDSCNCD263P: AM263P CC with Industrial Ethernet DP83826 Add on

Part Number: TMDSCNCD263P
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP-AM263P, DP83826-EVM-AM2, IND-COMMS-SDK,

Hello,

I am interested in running the EtherCAT Cia402 Example on my AM263P Control Card. If i understood correctly, the on board PHY does not support EtherCAT. Hence i would like to run the example with the industrial Ethernet Add-on board. I have a few questions:

Is it possible to run EtherCAT in the configuration AM263P CC + Industrial Ethernet Add-On Board?
Do you have any Examples adapted for the CC + Industrial ETH Addon configuration? The industrial communications SDK seems to only provide Board examples for LP boards + on Board ETH. Is it possible to port the examples from LP -> CC without much effort?

As I dont have much experience with CCs or the AM263P Platform, i would be very thankful for your support.

With kind regards

Hi Nilabh,
The question from customer above relates to the note from the :
https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-industrial-sw/esd/ind_comms_sdk/am263px/2026_00_00_06/docs/api_guide_am263px/EXAMPLES_INDUSTRIAL_COMMS_ETHERCAT_SUBDEVICE_BECKHOFF_SSC_DEMO.html

What does it really mean?

->Are there HW limitation?
->or is it a TI SW limitation? (SW was not yet been validated on this HW combination, need pinmux and low level adaptation ..etc)
->Or is it that the Beckhoff eval stack itself was build to only work on the LP-AM263P?
->What would be the porting steps to enable Ethercat from IND-COMMS-SDK on TMDSCNCD263P + DP83826-EVM-AM2 ?
->Any existing working Ethercat example from IND-COMMS-SDK on TMDSCNCD263P + DP83826-EVM-AM2 ?

Thanks in advance,

Anthony
