Overview

This software development kit (SDK) includes real-time industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, IO-Link, etc.) on TI processors. It also has PRU-ICSS firmware, drivers, communication stack libraries, and application examples, along with documentation.

What's new:

  • 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 - object dictionary size should be possible to change without stack rebuild
  • IOLINK Controller - added NVRAM support for AM243 LP and EVM in example app

Release Information

Thank you for your interest in the AM243x Industrial Communications Software Development Kit (SDK). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.

  • This SDK contains examples, libraries, and tools to develop RTOS-based Industrial Communication, Fieldbus, and networking applications on PRU-ICSS.
  • The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality.
  • The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.

What's new

  • Official PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) certified PROFINET example on AM243x.
  • Starting from Industrial Communications SDK 11.00.00.13, using the EtherCAT example from the Production Package of the SDK requires downloading the Beckhoff SSC stack from the ETG website and rebuilding the library.
  • For EtherCAT example evaluation without access to Beckhoff SSC, the Evaluation Package can be used.

Release Information

Thank you for your interest in the AM243x Motor Control Software Development Kit (SDK). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.

  • This SDK contains examples, libraries, and tools to develop RTOS and no-RTOS based applications enabling real-time communication for position and current sense from motors, and real-time control libraries
  • This SDK also includes Industrial Communications SDK and MCU+ SDK.
  • The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality.
  • The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment

NOTE: In Motor Control SDK 11.00.00 (production package), using the EtherCAT example from Industrial Communications SDK 11.00.00.13 or EtherCAT example for TIDEP-01032 EtherCAT-Connected Single-Chip Dual-Servo Motor Drive Reference Design requires downloading the Beckhoff SSC stack from the ETG website and rebuilding the library as described in the following documentation

What's new

  • Dual R5F core example (1 core for motor control and EtherCAT each) for Dual-Servo Motor Drive reference design based on Universal Motor Control similar to other Sitara™ and C2000™ devices
  • Support for Nikon A-format version 3.0, and addition of support enabling up to 8 encoders in bus connection
  • PRU-ICSS PWM Phase Shift Example (PRU Based PWM Control)
  • Re-factored SDFM examples: Existing "snoop mode" based examples are retained and new simpler "shadow mode" based examples which do not use snoop mode are added
  • Examples for inter-ICSSG and/or board time synchronization functionality to achieve sub-100ns accuracy
  • Integrated SFRA and Datalog libraries along with Datalog example application
  • Enhanced load share mode for BiSS-C and Nikon examples featuring independent IEP Events for each axis
  • Includes INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM243X to version "11.00.00.13" and Includes MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X version "11.00.00.18"
  • Added Developer Guides and Debug Guides

Release Information

Thank you for your interest in the AM261x Motor Control Software Development Kit (SDK). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.


  • This SDK contains examples, libraries, and tools to develop RTOS and no-RTOS based applications enabling real-time communication for position sense from motors, and real-time control libraries.
  • This SDK also includes Industrial Communications SDK and MCU+ SDK.
  • The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality.
  • The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.

What's new

  • Position Sense Encoders: BiSS-C, EnDat 2.2, Hiperface DSL, Nikon A-format 2.1/3.0, Tamagawa
  • Real Time Libraries: Control algorithms, Datalog, Digital Control Library (DCL), Observer algorithms, Software Frequency Response Analyzer, Transformation Algorithm
  • Includes INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM261X version "10.02.00.17"
  • Includes MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X version "10.02.00.15"
  • This SDK supports LP-AM261 Rev. E2 only. The upcoming LP-AM261 board revision will feature integrated DP83869 Ethernet PHYs onboard, replacing the DP83826E daughter card approach used in LP-AM261 Rev. E2.
