Hi everyone !
I am really interesting in upgrading my AVB Audio Endpoint project (based on the LC Board) to a Gigabyte version using the xCore-200.
The recently released xCORE-200 Multichannel Audio Platform seems to be fully gigabyte ethernet compatible. I thought I could simply reuse the AVB Endpoint Reference Software and do some minor changes on it but since the xCore-200 has an internal MAC hardware IP (in oposition to the software IP of the LC-BOARD) it doesn't seems to be compatible.. Anyway, The LC-Board reference software is not meant to be used with a Gigabyte Ethernet PHY MAC.
So my question is : Is there an AVB Gigabyte Reference Sofware availible somewhere for the new platform ? If not, does anyone have an idea on how to upgrade the LC-Board to be Gigabyte Ethernet compatible ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
Yes, you are correct about the AVB audio endpoint software release - its meant for the xCORE-200 and is not compatible with AVB-LC board.
It uses the latest lib_ethernet library, uses GB Ethernet core on xCORE-200 compatible with tools 14.x+ versions.
Latest software is available with the application note examples:

Just note that the 'Import Wizard' automatically imports the library dependencies for the examples.
More details in 'Appendix B' of the application notes.

Oh ! That strange that this software is not highlighted on the xCore -200 Board main page the same way the ref software is on the LC Board Page.
Anyway, Thank you very much, that is exactly what I was looking for !
By the way, To control my AVB network I am using a computer on Linux using the AVDECC library. It is working fine but not very practical.
Since the AVB controller entity included in the Reference Endpoint Software is a reduced and very limmited version. I am wondering if someone succed getting a fully working AVB Controller with an XMOS. I mean bein able to send GET and SET CONTROLcommand to endpoints and sending connect COMMAND too.
