About Ethernet connection using SAM (ADZS-SC589-MINI) evaluation board

Hello -

The Baremetal framework (SAM_BareMetal_SDK-Rel2.1.2 framework) does not support Ethernet. If you want to use Ethernet (VBAN Audio or RTP Audio), you would need to use the Audio Starter Framework. The root page for that framework can be found here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sharc-audio-module/advanced-audio-projects. I recommend following the step by step instructions starting with the prerequisite pages here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sharc-audio-module/advanced-audio-projects/prerequisites. 

The latest Audio Starter Framework for the SAM board is this one: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/sam-audio-starter/tree/3.1.0-Github 

To answer your question: You are not seeing the SC5xx in the terminal because you are not using the right software framework. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

We confirmed using Audio Starter Framework (3.1.0-Github, CCES2.12.0), but the COM port shows "A2B Bus Analyzer" instead of "SC5xx Communications Port".
Why does "A2B Bus Analyzer" show up even though the A2B Bus Analyzer is not connected?

When I checked the Ethernet settings, the following display was confirmed, but is this the correct result?

Please let me know if our method is wrong.

Best regards.

Hi! 

Good to see you got the board up and running! The observation of the A2B Analyzer under the ports is a known issue. You can find the explanation of it here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sharc-audio-module/advanced-audio-projects/appendix-b#sc5xx_communications_port_does_not_show_upshows_up_as_a2b_bus_analyzer

You can continue to use the shell safely even with the naming of the port not matching. 

And yes you have the correct result. I'm not sure what your end plan for Ethernet is, but you can connect to the shell via Ethernet as well using telnet (like below, but using your specific Ethernet IP Address from the eth command):

We have some Audio Ethernet examples here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sharc-audio-module/advanced-audio-projects/examples-ethernet-audio

And additional details about the ethernet specific commands here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/sharc-audio-module/advanced-audio-projects/shell-commands/network-commands 

Please let me know if you have any other questions. 

Hi,

Thank you for the information. We were able to confirm the Ethernet connection.

Best regards.
