Texas Instruments has worked closely with a number of third parties to support industrial communication Controller protocols on the AM243x MCUs and AM64x processors. Most Controller protocols do not require special Ethernet MAC hardware and can run on any of the AM243x and AM64x device options, using either the CPSW or ICSSG.
Table 5-1 lists AM243x and AM64x third party Controller software support options.
