- 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 AM64X 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
-
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 |
| PROFINET RT/IRT support with Siemens ERTEC stack on TMDS64EVM |
| EtherNet/IP Intercore Network tunneling example on AM64x |
| ICSSG0 instance support for EtherCAT Stack |
| Custom PHY integration reference for DP82826 and DP83869 |
