ART/ETS with Test Bundle v2.46 Trial
Posted: 09 Sep 2025, 18:05
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?
