8 Example Applications

CAUTION: Note that all the provided application examples were configured to work on Microchip evaluation boards. When using other hardware, the firmware project must define a Board Support Package (BSP) customized for that hardware.

Along with the PLC communication stacks, specific application examples are provided to show how to integrate the PL360 Host Controller.

In addition, PHY examples using only the PL360 Host Controller are provided to evaluate some low level parameters and to be used together with a Microchip PLC tool for demonstration purposes.

In case of a G3 stack, applications are provided for CENELEC-A, CENELEC-B, FCC and ARIB bands (project folders with suffixes “_cen_a”, “_cen_b”, “_fcc” and “_arib” in each example). Setting the appropriate band in each project is made by means of conf_atpl360.h file, as explained in Configure Application.

In case of a PRIME stack, applications are provided for CENELEC-A and FCC bands (the same project folder is used for both bands depending on PRIME configured channel; see ATPL360_REG_CHANNEL_CFG (0x4016)).
