Design Features
• Simplified, Cost-Effective Solution for Evaluating G3-Power Line Communications (PLC) Using BeagleBone Black (BEAGLEBK) and TI‘s PLC Modem Kit (TMDSPLCKITV4-CEN kit)
• Forms a Small End-to-End G3-PLC Network Using Two Modems from TMDSPLCKIT Kit:
– One for Data Concentrator PHY and One for Service Node
• Demonstrates Single-Phase Coupling
• Based on Kits Available from the TI Store or Distributors that Include Linux Applications, Middleware, Drivers, Hardware Schematics, Bill of Materials, and Design Files
Design Description
This PLC Data Concentrator design offers a simplified approach for evaluating G3-PLC using BeagleBone Black powered by the Sitara™ AM335x processor. Users can establish a G3-PLC network with one service node. This design supports single-phase coupling.

1 Required Hardware
• One Linux computer, or a virtual machine running Linux
• One microSD (2GB+)
• One BeagleBone black board
• One TMDSPLCKITV4 kit
• One FTDI-RS232 bridge
2 Step-by-Step Description
This walkthrough will enable users to build a G3 PLC network with one node. Users can build up a PRIME PLC network in a similar fashion. Users will also learn how to configure and compile a Linux kernel required for this task.
Create a Standard Image on an SD Card
The base for this DC image will be the default image provided by the TI SDK. To modify the image:
1. Install the latest SDK on your Linux machine (or virtual machine)。
(a) Download the latest SDK, here “ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00-Linux-x86- Install.bin” from http://software-dl.ti.com/sitara_linux/esd/AM335xSDK/latest/index_FDS.html.
(b) Install the package on the Linux machine using a console window.
。/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00-Linux-x86-Install.bin
Use the suggested directory, for example /home/user/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-07.00.00.00/。
NOTE: The abbreviation through the guide for this path is $SDK.
2. Make an SD card (2GB or more) available to the Linux machine and install the standard (pre-built) image on it.
cd $SDK/bin
sudo 。/create-sdcard.sh
Options: Create two partitions and use the pre-built image.
3. If necessary, remove and insert the SD card to mount it properly to the Linux environment.
