Sep 07 11:11:18 <set_> can time!
Sep 07 11:15:20 <set_> I have been waiting and waiting. Now, it is time!
Sep 07 15:48:50 <zmatt> interesting, the am62xx really looks like it's meant to be a direct replacement of the am335x, it has very similar peripherals and features and even uses the same pmic
Sep 07 16:04:25 <zmatt> except for no pru mii support (ethercat and such)
Sep 07 16:13:11 <rcn-ee> zmatt: jkridner had a huge hand in that 'feature' of the am62xx..
Sep 07 16:14:09 <rcn-ee> just wish it was a drop in pin-for-pin... but still pretty close..
Sep 07 16:14:09 <zmatt> what, it being very similar, or it using the same pmic?
Sep 07 16:14:38 <rcn-ee> yeah, the similar nature, jkridner did a big push to make it a nice upgrade path..
Sep 07 16:14:45 <zmatt> (the fact that it uses the tps65217 is not a feature I'd choose for myself, the tps65217 kinda sucks)
Sep 07 16:14:48 <zmatt> ahh
Sep 07 16:15:43 <rcn-ee> didn't ethercat require a license and royalties? smells like one reason to drop it..
Sep 07 16:16:20 <zmatt> well, ethercat iteslf was provided by additional firmware presumably at additional cost.. the hardware part is just having ethernet support in pruss
Sep 07 16:17:43 <zmatt> so I don't think that would be the reason to drop it
