4.1.3. 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.
4.1.3.1. Gateway Demos¶
CAN-Ethernet gateway demo to showcase routing between CAN-to-CAN, CAN-to-Ethernet, Ethernet-to-Ethernet and Ethernet-to-CAN using IEEE 1722 protocol
Out of box version of CAN-Ethernet gatway demo (without needing PCAN-USB device)
4.1.3.2. Enet LLD¶
Support for scatter-gather in packet transmission has been added starting in 08.05.00 release. This feature requires a change in Enet LLD DMA API, so applications using Enet LLD APIs need to be ported to use the updated API. Developers should refer to the porting steps documented in Enet LLD User’s Guide (LINK).
4.1.3.3. MCU Software (MCUSW)¶
4.1.3.3.1. Ethernet¶
MCAL Ethernet (MCU CPSW_2G) and Virtual MAC (virtual client for CPSW_5G) drivers have been signficantly refactored to remove most dependencies with other SDK components, such as Enet LLD and UDMA LLD. The only remaining SDK dependency is with SCI Client driver. The driver configuration has also moved to a static-oriented allocation approach for TX channel, RX channel, Ring Accs, and other resources. Please refer to the Ethernet User Guide (LINK) chapter in the MCUSW documentation for further information about Ethernet module configuration.
Additionally, MCAL Ethernet driver (MCU CPSW_2G) now has Global Time support (packet timestamping) as well as support for link time and post-build configuration, in addition to pre-compile variant already supported in previous SDKs.
