2.4. Release Notes - 07_03_00¶
2.4.1. Introduction¶
This release notes provides important information that will assist you in using the PDK software package for the Jacinto family of devices. This document provides the product information and known issues that are specific to the PDK software package.
New features added / supported is listed below and defects fixed are highligted in Fixed Issues also please check Upgrade and Compatibility for backward compatibility
2.4.2. What’s New¶

| PDK-9312 | FreeRTOS Support on R5F for CPU | OSAL | J721E, J7200 |
| PDK-8726 | OSPI Cache Support | OSPI | J721E, J7200 |
| PDK-9263 | J721E HS-EVM Support | COMMON | J721E |

2.4.3. Upgrade and Compatibility¶
2.4.3.1. emac¶
- pdk/packages/ti/drv/emac Will be deprecated in subsequent release
- From SDK versioned v07.03.00, enet drivers support ICSSG ports too
- emac is replaced by enet drivers
2.4.3.2. Sciclient¶
- The Sciclient Sciclient_service API does not accept NULL pointers for the pRespPayload and expects the respPayloadSize to be the size of the structure pointed to by pRespPayload.
2.4.3.3. BoardCfg RM¶
- Removed the shared resource allocation(entries for both secure and non_secure context) for MCU R5(mcu1_0) in default BoardCfg RM. MCU R5(mcu1_0) resource entries are only for non-secure host ID. This is because, Messages forwarded from DM must originate from a non-secure host in the system. Any secure host ID used during a forwarded request will be rejected as a spoofing attempt. Hence, Sciclient should be initialized in non-secure mode. ie, Sciclient_ConfigPrms_t->isSecureMode shouldn’t be set to 1U
2.4.3.4. ENET¶
txPktTc and txTsId fields have been added to EnetUdma_PktInfo for ICSSG peripheral usage. They are not required for CPSW. No action needed for applications using CPSW peripheral that initialize EnetUdma_PktInfo via EnetDma_initPktInfo(), otherwise must explicity set txPktTc to ENET_TRAFFIC_CLASS_INV.
Added ENET_TIMESYNC_IOCTL_TS_TO_NS ioctl command to convert timestamp values to nanoseconds values. This IOCTL is not required for packet timestamping in CPSW peripheral.
Following IOCTLs have been renamed:
- CPSW_IOCTL_[UN]REGISTER_RX_DEFAULT_FLOW to ENET_IOCTL_[UN]REGISTER_RX_DEFAULT_FLOW.
- CPSW_IOCTL_[UN]REGISTER_DSTMAC_RX_FLOW to ENET_IOCTL_[UN]REGISTER_DSTMAC_RX_FLOW.
Mdio_Cfg has added isMaster field for cases where MDIO module is shared with multiple peripherals, so only one peripheral (master) must perform the MDIO initial configuration and be skipped by the other peripherals (slaves). This is not needed by applications using CPSW.
2.4.3.5. Board Library¶
2.4.3.6. Board Diagnostics¶
Board diagnostic test framework which integrates diagnostic tests into menu based execution is no longer supported. This module is meant for board manufacturers and not validated as part of the SDK.
Board diagnostic tests serve as reference for board bring-up and they are not recommended to be used as reference for production software development.

2.4.9. Limitations¶
2.4.9.1. PDK¶
- PDK examples do not supported SMP mode. Some of examples still support build in SMP mode but these binaries are not supported or validated.
2.4.9.2. ENET¶
- ICSSG integration with NDK is done only for ICSSG Dual-MAC. Driver level support is available for Dual-MAC and Switch.
- TimeSync PTP integration is done only for ICSSG-Dual MAC.
- TimeSync is possible only in one MAC port at a time.
- Different VLAN modes are not supported in Dual-MAC mode (within given ICSSG MAC ports). Both MACs should either be in VLAN aware or VLAN unaware mode.
- Independent VLAN learning is not supported in Dual-MAC mode.
