- Attention
- Also refer to individual module pages for more details on each feature, unsupported features, important usage guidelines.
-
For release notes of MCU+ SDK, please refer to AM243X MCU+ SDK Release Notes 09.02.00.
- Note
- The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination.
Unless noted otherwise, the SW modules would work on all supported EVMs
-
The EtherCAT IOLINK Gateway demo support is broken in the release. Please use the demo from Industrial Communication SDK 9.1 for evaluation
-
Examples uses ICSS EMAC driver from Industrial Communication SDK package in 9.2 Release. This driver support will be moved to MCU SDK from 10.0 onwards
New in this Release
| Feature |
| Ethernet over EtherCAT EoE |
| File access over EtherCAT FoE |
| Integrate NVM library for persistent data storage - EtherCAT examples now use EEPROM and not Flash memory to store EtherCAT EEPROM data |
| Ethernet/IP - The object dictionary size should be possible to change without rebuild of stack |
| IOLINK Controller - Added NVRAM support for AM243 LP and EVM in example app |
| Bug Fixes |
