Ethernet TSN Stack

Introduction | Features | Overview | Usage | Contribute

Introduction

Ethernet TSN Stack is a generic TSN stack that aims to provide a unified TSN layer for the different Ethernet peripherals found in Sitara MCU+ and J7 class of devices from Texas Instruments. These devices currently include

• AM2431, AM2432, AM2434
• AM6411, AM6412, AM6421, AM6422, AM6441, AM6442
• J7200, J721E

Features

• IEEE 802.1AS-2020 gPTP

  • End Instance Master and Slave mode
  • Relay Instance for switch mode

• Supports Yang Configuration

• Currently supports FreeRTOS

• Example application as part of corresponding core sdk.

Overview

TSN source modules

• tsn_unibase: Universal utility libraries that are platform-independent.
• tsn_combase: Communication utility libraries that provide support for functions like sockets, mutexes, and semaphores.
• tsn_gptp: Implementation of the IEEE 802.1 AS gptp protocol.
• tsn_uniconf: Uniconf is a universal configuration daemon for yang. Provides APIs for developing a client application which retreives/writes yang parameters from/to database and ask the uniconf for configurating HW.
• enet_tsn_example: Example application for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).

Usage

Enen though TSN-STACK is a seperate repository, it is not independent. It has dependencies to other repositories such as MCU_PLUS_SDK, FreeRTOS. It uses the build system from MCU_PLUS_SDK and hence please refer to MCU_PLUS_SDK for instructions about compilation, documentation generation and usage.
