Introduction
The Texas Instruments Industrial Protocol Packages is a single
scalable software platform for Industrial Protocols that offers
streamlined development across different TI Sitara
Processors. The
Industrial Protocol packages provide fundamental software (PRU-ICSS
firmware to implement Real-Time Ethernet/fieldbus or Industrial
interfaces and associated drivers) for development of various Industrial
communication protocols like EtherCAT, Profinet, EthernetIP, Profibus
etc. The packages also include sample demo application which showcase
the ability of the software/hardware to implement the protocols
Scope
The purpose of this guide is to quickly provide the information you need
most while evaluating and developing applications on a TI embedded
processor, specifically running embedded real-time operating system. It
is not intended to be a thorough design document. As such, the focus is
on application programming interfaces (API), build information, and
examples to use as a template to start development.
