Release Information

Thank you for your interest in the AM243x Motor Control Software Development Kit (SDK). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.

  • This SDK contains examples, libraries, and tools to develop RTOS and no-RTOS based applications for real-time motor control. It includes position sense examples, current sense examples, PRU-ICSS PWM examples, real-time control library examples, time synchronization examples, and a universal single-chip servo drive reference design (TIDEP-01032).
  • The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality.
  • The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.
  • Prerequisites: Install MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X 11.01.00.19 and INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM243X 2025.00.00.08 . The Motor Control SDK installer includes an option to automatically install both required dependencies.

What's new

  • EnDat 3: 12.5 Mbps data rate, Manchester encoding, frame-based communication (HPF/LPH/LPF), foreground and background communication channels, periodic trigger modes (IEP compare/capture based)
  • Tamagawa: Multi-channel with load share mode, periodic trigger modes (IEP compare/capture based)
  • HDSL: Improved sampling for RX data
  • BiSS-C, EnDat 2.2, Nikon A-format: Periodic trigger modes (IEP compare/capture based)
  • All position sense encoders: Improved handle-based API architecture and SysConfig-based initialization
  • Current Sense (SDFM): Improved handle-based API architecture, SysConfig-based initialization, improved error handling with return codes, support for 9 channels on a single PRU core
  • Starting with MOTOR-CONTROL-SDK-AM243X 2025.00.00, MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X and INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM243X are no longer included and must be downloaded separately.
