PRU-ICSS — Industrial Protocol Support
◆ PRU-ICSS: Industrial Protocol Support
PRU-ICSS enables real-time industrial communication on TI Sitara processors. The PRU-ICSS protocol runs on top of the Processor SDK and includes optimized PRU-ICSS firmware, corresponding PRU-ICSS drivers for the ARM processor, and example applications.
◆ PRU-ICSS firmware runs on the PRU cores, offloading time-critical link-layer processing tasks from the main ARM processor. PRU-ICSS drivers provide simple access to PRU-ICSS resources, enabling seamless integration with protocol stacks and application software running on the ARM core.
On the AM57x, the PRU-ICSS software package currently supports the following protocols:
EtherCAT
Ethernet/IP
Profinet
EtherNet/IP
Profibus
FPGA — Motion Control
