Introduction

These examples are EtherCAT SubDevice applications based on evaluation stacks provided in the SDK.

Note: SDK examples use evaluation version of stack. They will run for 1 hour only. If you want an unlimited version, you need to rebuild the Beckhoff SSC Library used by the examples. Please check "${SDK_INSTALL_PATH}/source/industrial_comms/ethercat_slave/stack/patch/SlaveFiles/src/readme.md" for more details on how to rebuild the library.

Links to important sections in the detailed documentation are provided below:

Note: The work-around for issue "i2329 - MDIO: MDIO interface corruption (CPSW and PRU-ICSS)" (described in AM64x/AM243x Processor Silicon Revision 1.0, 2.0 (Rev. E)) is not available for this example in this release. It will be available in next release.

Attention: If you need to reload and run the example again, EVM power-cycle is MUST.
