ACTIVE SYS/BIOS   v01.00.00.07   15-Feb-2012  

Description

The SYS/BIOS-based software development kit (SDK) for industrial communications is designed for the Sitara™ AM335x ARM® Cortex™-A8 microprocessor family to enable customers to add real-time industrial communications easily and quickly to their system. By making all the basic system software components immediately available, the Kit allows developers to focus on their application code, where they can add the most differentiation. Optimized to support real-time industrial communications protocols such as EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®, Ethernet/IP and many others, the SDK includes a real-time, low-footprint SYS/BIOS kernel with boot loader and sample industrial applications to get started quickly on Industrial Development Kit (IDK) and Industrial Communication Engine (ICE) platforms.

Features

The SYS/BIOS Industrial SDK combines all the software components and tools needed to begin development of applications on the ARM, and includes the following:

  • Open source SYS/BIOS Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
  • Bootloader for Sitara AM3359 Industrial Development Kit (IDK) and Industrial Communication Engine (ICE) with support to boot from various peripherals
  • Library of peripheral drivers integrated with SYS/BIOS
  • Sample applications demonstrating peripheral use cases
  • Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE) v.5
  • Sample industrial input/output applications over communication protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFIBUS and other ethernet and serial based fieldbus protocols
  • PRU based implementation of industrial communications such as EtherCAT, PROFIBUS and many others, as well as evaluation version of protocol stacks to facilitate software development

SYS/BIOS Industrial SDK for Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors

1. SYS/BIOS Development Tools

2. SYS/BIOS Industrial SDK Demo

Using the Sitara AM335x Industrial Development Kit (IDK), developers can demonstrate the SYS/BIOS Industrial SDK features on hardware today. This Industrial SDK Demo requires the IDK and a supplied SD card. Full instructions are available in the SDK Getting Started Guide.

3. SDK Source

IDK users can also begin development today with the Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 software development kit (SDK). This package includes:

  • Bootloader:
    • Starter-ware bootloader supporting IDK and ICE
    • Boot from MMC/SD, NAND, and SPI Serial Flash
  • Device Drivers and libraries for the Sitara ARM AM335x peripherals:
    • I2C driver
    • GPIO driver
    • UART Serial driver
    • PRUSS driver
    • SPI driver
    • NAND flash driver
    • SD/MMC driver
    • PWM driver
    • Ethernet driver
  • Evaluation version of Industrial Communication protocol stacks:
    • EtherCAT slave stack
    • PROFIBUS slave stack
    • Powerlink, PROFINET, Sercos III and other ethernet and serial fieldbus protocols
  • Sample applications demonstrating:
    • Features of AM335x peripherals and its use cases
    • Industrial input/output data exchange over various industrial communication protocols

 Refer to the SDK release notes for support information for specific software features.
