4.13.3. Upgrade and Compatibility¶
In this section, we only highlight a few significant changes in this SDK. For full list of upgrade and compatibility topics, please refer to individual components release notes SDK Components.
4.13.3.1. System Firmware Architecture Upgrade (PDK)¶
This release introduces the new architecture for System firmware where the TI Foundational Security (TIFS) is running on the DMSC and Power Management & Resource Management (collectively known as Device Management (DM)) runs as a library on the MCU1_0 R5F. Refer to following pages for more details:
MCU1_0 Application Development with SYSFW : Top-level SDK developer note
Architecture Change between SDK 7.0 and SDK 7.1 : Specific details on SYSFW achitecture change in the PDK user guide
4.13.3.2. ENET LLD (PDK)¶
Low-level driver support for CPSW Ethernet peripherals has been migrated from CPSW LLD to Enet LLD. This change comes with API name changes. More details of this change can be found in the Upgrade and Compatibility section of the PDK Release Notes: LINK
