1 Introduction
This document describes how to run port GmbH’s PROFINET device stack on the RZ/N1 Series. It is
possible either to run a standalone variant only using one core, the CM3-core, or to use two separate
cores in the case of the RZ/N1D communicating via Core To Core. Both cores feature the GOAL (Generic
OS Abstraction Layer) which handles the communication of the cores and provides basic functionality
e.g. timer handling.
The industrial network protocol is located at the CM3-core in both the standalone and the Core To Core
variant. Its task is the communication with other operators, therefore the alias name of the CM3-core is
communication core (CC) in this document. It contains also a DLR stack that allows to run the RZ/N1 as
a Beacon-based Ring Node.
In the Core To Core variant the user application is executed on the Linux based CA7-core. This core is
also named as application core (AC). In the standalone variant the user application is running on the
communication core, either.
Please note that the software was tested using hardware version
EESS-0401-130-04 (RZ/N1D),
EESS-0401-131-03 (RZ/N1D-EB),
EESS-0401-141-02 (RZ/N1S),
EESS-0401-155-01 (RZ/N1L),
of the CPU and extension board.
Please note that the RZ/N1S requires at least hardware version EESS-0401-141-02 to work with the
extension board correctly.
