ART/ETS with Test Bundle v2.46 Trial

[j0139]

I am trying to get PROFINET testing setup so we can run tests during a development we are starting and I am looking at the new v2.46 test bundle release and comparing it with the v2.46 test bundle trial release. I am trying to understand Netload testing and what all is needed for that in terms of hardware and software.

I see that the trial release has a `TCIS_00000110_Netload_Robustness_for_Security_v2.46.0.00006.pdf` which the normal bundle does not. Does this actually implement Netload testing without needing additional hardware, is it just not as fully featured as they would like for it to be officially released as part of the official test bundle? I ran the ART Netload tests from the Trial Bundle with a TI PROFINET example on a launchpad board from them and got "PassWithHint" - "The configuration file is tampered. This cannot be used for official certification" but I don't recall touching any files from the ART before running the test.

Are there different Netload tests that would still require additional hardware, or would using the trial test bundle and only the ETS be possible for development?

The netload testing 100MBit/s within the official certification bundle is still based on the separate tool (SL1T) running on an Ubuntu System. In the trial bundle you can find the latest state of development. For netload testing on 100 MBit/s the normal load scenarios are available within that trial bundle. Those are not released for official certification, yet. I would suggest to use the official bundle for preparation, as the faulty load scenarios are not available on ETS so far. Nevertheless feedback to the test cases within ETS is also welcome.
