Multi-protocol industrial ethernet detection w/PRU-ICSS for industrial automation reference design

Industrial Ethernet for Industrial Automation exist in more than 30 industrial standards. Some of the well-established real-time Ethernet protocols, like EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Sercos III and PowerLink require dedicated MAC hardware support in terms of FPGA or ASICs. The Programmable Real-time Unit inside the Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS), which exists as HW block inside the Sitara processors family, replaces FPGA or ASICS by a single chip solution. A firmware in the PRU-ICSS allows detecting the type of Industrial Ethernet protocol and loading the appropriate industrial application during run-time into Sitara processor. This TI Design describes the multi-protocol Industrial Ethernet protocol detection firmware for PRU-ICSS.

Features:
-High speed/frequency with high precision for accurate PTO control and synchronization
-Implementation without external ASIC or FPGA
-Implementation on PRU-ICSS with Sitara processor
-Contains PRU-ICSS firmware in source code and can get adoptable by customer
-Easy evaluation with TMDSICE3359 Industrial Communication Engine (ICE) EVM
