Release Information

Thank you for your interest in the AM261x 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 and real-time control library examples.
  • 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 the required versions of MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X 11.00.00.29 and INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM261X 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)
  • BiSS-C, EnDat 2.2, Nikon A-format, Tamagawa: Dual channel example using two independent PRU cores, periodic trigger modes (IEP compare/capture based)
  • HDSL: Dual channel example using two independent PRU cores, improved sampling for RX data
  • All encoders: Improved handle-based API architecture and SysConfig-based initialization
  • Starting with MOTOR-CONTROL-SDK-AM261X 2025.00.00, MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X and INDUSTRIAL-COMMUNICATIONS-SDK-AM261X are no longer included and must be downloaded separately.
