Description
Industrial Ethernet for Industrial Automation exist in more than 30 industrial standards. Some of the well-established real-time Ethernet protocols, like EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Sercos III and PowerLink require dedicated MAC hardware support in terms of FPGA or ASICs. The Programmable Real-time Unit inside the Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS), which exists as HW block inside the Sitara processors family, replaces FPGA or ASICS by a single chip solution. A firmware in the PRU-ICSS allows detecting the type of Industrial Ethernet protocol and loading the appropriate industrial application during run-time into Sitara processor. This TI Design describes the multi-protocol Industrial Ethernet protocol detection firmware for PRU-ICSS. This TI Design was done on the TMDSICE3359, but can also be done on the TMDXICE110.
Features
- High speed/frequency with high precision for accurate PTO control and synchronization
- Implementation without external ASIC or FPGA
- Implementation on PRU-ICSS with Sitara processor
- Contains PRU-ICSS firmware in source code and can get adoptable by customer
- Easy evaluation with the TMDXICE3359 or TMDXICE110 industrial communication EVMs
