- 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 11.00.00.
- 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 examples use the ICSS-EMAC driver from the Industrial Communication SDK package. This driver support will be moved to MCU+ SDK in the future releases.
New in this Release
| Feature |
Starting from Industrial Communications SDK 11.00.00.13, using the EtherCAT example requires downloading the Beckhoff SSC stack from the ETG website and rebuilding the library as described in the following documentation:
For EtherCAT example evaluation without access to Beckhoff SSC, please use the evaluation package.
