## Introduction
The Motor Control SDK enables real-time industrial communications for TI processors. Industrial communication is typically handled by the Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS). The PRU-ICSS is a co-processor subsystem containing Programmable Real-Time (PRU) cores and Ethernet media access controllers (EMACs), which implement the low level industrial Ethernet and fieldbus protocols through firmware.
These devices currently include
- [AM2431](https://www.ti.com/product/AM2431), [AM2432](https://www.ti.com/product/AM2432), [AM2434](https://www.ti.com/product/AM2434)
- [AM2634](https://www.ti.com/product/AM2634), [AM2634-Q1](https://www.ti.com/product/AM2634-Q1)

## Overview
## Learn
## Usage
### Prerequisites
#### Supported HOST environments
- Windows 10 64bit
- Ubuntu 18.04 64bit
### Clone and build from GIT
#### Repo Tool Setup
Motor Control SDK has multiple components (in multiple repositories) and dependencies
(like compiler, CCS and other tools). We use repo tool from Google to manage these
multiple repositories. Currently there is no support for native windows shells like
CMD or Powershell. This will be added at a later point. Windows users can rely on
Git Bash for the repo setup. Follow the below mentioned steps to setup repo tool:
Make sure [python3 is installed](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download) and is in your OS path.
- Linux:
Do the following in terminal
```bash
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
echo "PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
- Git-Bash (Windows)
Make sure that python 3 is callable as `python` from CMD. Do below in Git-Bash
```bash
mkdir -p /c/ti
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > /c/ti/repo
echo "alias repo=\"winpty python /c/ti/repo\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
#### Cloning The Repositories
To clone the repositories using repo tool, do below in your workarea folder:
Note that depending on the SoC you're working with, the components you clone might be
slightly different. So please choose the manifest folder according to the SoC of your
interest. For example, we are showing for am263x below.
```bash
repo init -u https://github.com/TexasInstruments/industrial-comms-manifests.git -m am243x/dev.xml -b main
```
Note that repo uses symbolic links. So if you're on Windows and do not have permissions
to create symbolic links, the above command might fail for you. So you can either enable them
([refer this link](https://portal.perforce.com/s/article/3472)) or use the experimental
worktree feature of repo. To do this, initialize the repo like so:
```bash
repo init --worktree -u https://github.com/TexasInstruments/industrial-comms-manifests.git -m am243x/dev.xml -b main
```
After the repo is initialized, do a
```bash
repo sync
```
This should clone all the repositories required for Motor Control SDK development. Now download and install the dependencies.
#### Downloading And Installing Dependencies
Note that the dependencies are also soc specific, here we take an example of am263x.
You can replace that with the SoC of your choice like the `repo init` step.
**To download and install dependencies in linux, follow the below steps**:
Run the following from the same location where you have `industrial_comms` and `industrial_comms_setup`
folders.
```bash
./industrial_comms_setup/am243x/download_components.sh
```
This will install all the required dependencies including Code Composer Studio (CCS).
The script assumes that `industrial_comms` folder is in the same location from where
you have invoked the script, and that dependencies are installed into `${HOME}/ti`
location. If these defaults don't work for you, please pass these as arguments to
the script like
```bash
./industrial_comms_setup/am243x/download_components.sh --install_dir=/path/to/tools
OR
./industrial_comms_setup/am243x/download_components.sh --industrial_comms_sdk_folder=/path/to/industrial_comms/folder
```
and so on. For a complete list of arguments you can pass to the script, please run
```bash
./industrial_comms_setup/am243x/download_components.sh -h
```
**In windows the dependencies has to be manually installed. Given below are the steps**:
1. Download and install Code Composer Studio v12.1 from [here](https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO "Code Composer Studio")
- Install at default folder, C:\ti
2. Download and install SysConfig 1.14.0 from [here](https://www.ti.com/tool/download/SYSCONFIG/1.14.0.2667 "SYSCONFIG 1.14.0")
- Install at default folder, C:/ti
3. Download and install GCC for Cortex A53 and ARM R5 from below link (only needed for AM64x developers)
- [GNU-A](https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/9.2-2019.12/binrel/gcc-arm-9.2-2019.12-mingw-w64-i686-aarch64-none-elf.tar.xz)
- [GNU-RM](https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/7-2017q4/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major-win32.zip)
- Install at default folder, C:/ti
4. Download and install Node.js v12.18.4 LTS
- Go to the [NodeJS Website](https://nodejs.org/en/) and use the installer to
download and install v12.18.4 of node. Install in the default directory.
- After successful installation, run an `npm ci` inside the `industrial_comms` folder like so:
```bash
$ cd industrial_comms/
$ npm ci
$ cd ../
```
This should install the node packages required for the SDK.
1. Download and install doxygen,
- Tested with 1.8.20
- Download the correct version of doxygen for windows from [here](https://www.doxygen.nl/download.html)
- Install and add the install path, typically, C:/Program Files/doxygen/bin to your windows PATH
- Test by doing below on the command prompt
```
$ doxygen -v
1.8.20 (<commit SHA-ID>)
```
**Installing OpenSSL**
Some of the SDK signing scripts are dependent on OpenSSL v1.1.1. The v1.1.1 is
important, OpenSSL 3.0 is not compatible with the current signing scripts of SDK.
In Windows,
- Download v1.1.1 from [here](https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html)
- You can install the "light" version which is smaller download size
- Install to default path, which is C:/Program Files/OpenSSL-Win64/
- When prompted select option to install binaries to /bin folder of installed path instead of Windows system path.
- Add path to OpenSSL, to your environment "Path" variable in windows
- `C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin`
In Linux,
- There is a chance that OpenSSL is already installed. If not, here are the steps:
- If you have Ubuntu 18.04, do below in Linux Ubuntu shell to install openssl
-`$ sudo apt install openssl`
If you have an Ubuntu version higher than that, make sure that you install the 1.1.1 version.
You can get the 1.1.1 packages from [here](http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/).
The packages required are openssl, libssl and libssl-dev
Test openssl version by running `openssl version` on a command prompt and make sure there is no error.
Example output is shown below,
```bash
C:\> openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021
```
Now that the dependencies are installed, you can start the repositories with a
default branch `dev` by doing below:
```bash
repo start dev --all
```
---
**NOTE**
- In Linux, you will need to run `$HOME/ti/ccs{version}/ccs/install_scripts/install_drivers.sh` script for setting COM
port accesses correctly. Also add your user to groups `tty` and `dialout`. You can do
```
sudo adduser $USER tty
sudo adduser $USER dialout
```
- Please use the industrial communication libraries from the sdk installer due licensing restrictions.
---
### Building the SDK
#### Basic Building With Makefiles
---
**NOTE**
- Use `gmake` in windows, add path to gmake present in CCS at `C:\ti\ccsxxxx\ccs\utils\bin` to your windows PATH. We have
used `make` in below instructions.
- Unless mentioned otherwise, all below commands are invoked from root folder of the "industrial_comms" repository.
- Current supported device names are am64x, am243x, am263x, am273x and awr294x
- Pass one of these values to `"DEVICE="`
- You can also build components (examples, tests or libraries) in `release` or `debug`
profiles. To do this pass one of these values to `"PROFILE="`
---
1. Run the following command to create makefiles, this step is optional since this is invoked as part of other steps as well,
```bash
make gen-buildfiles DEVICE=am263x
```
2. To see all granular build options, run
```bash
make -s help DEVICE=am263x
```
This should show you commands to build specific libraries, examples or tests.
3. Make sure to build the libraries before attempting to build an example. For example,
to build a Hello World example for AM263x, run the following:
```bash
make -s -j4 libs DEVICE=am263x PROFILE=debug
```
Once the library build is complete, to build the example run:
```bash
make -s -C examples/hello_world/am263x-cc/r5fss0-0_nortos/ti-arm-clang all PROFILE=debug
```
4. Following are the commands to build **all libraries** and **all examples**. Valid PROFILE's are "release" or "debug"
```bash
make -s -j4 clean DEVICE=am263x PROFILE=debug
make -s -j4 all DEVICE=am263x PROFILE=debug
```
