Hi Vinicius,
My name is Murali Karicheri from Texas Instruments Ltd. We have
AM65x/DRA80xMProcessor, that is capable of supporting TSN. Our solution
would use the ICSSG_PRU which is a fully programmable industrial
communication subsystems to enable future-proof designs for customers
that need to adopt the new Gigabit Time-sensitive
Networks(TSN)standards. More details can be seen in the TRM at
http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruid7c/spruid7c.pdf
I am part of the team that is working to implement IEEE Std 802.1Qbv
scheduler (Time aware Shaper) with Frame pre-emption capabilities in a
RT Linux based solution. I saw your commit for taprio which adds basic
support in Linux and is a good starting point for me.

tc: Add support for configuring the taprio scheduler
Also went through https://lwn.net/Articles/767383/
Basically wondering what is the current status of the following under
"Future work" in the above link and also to explore if we could
collaborate on developing missing pieces.
===== from https://lwn.net/Articles/767383/ =======================
- Add support for multiple schedules, so something like the Admin
and Oper schedules from IEEE 802.1Q-2018 can be implemented,
probably "cycle-time" will be re-implemented at this time;
- Add support for HW offloading;
- Add support for Frame Preemption related commands (formerly
802.1Qbu, now part of 802.1Q);
======================================================================
To begin with I am currently exploring how to test this software
implementation of taprio and what are all the dependencies.
Do I need multi-q support in the Ethernet driver to test taprio? Looks
like it is needed. What else is needed to test this feature? If you have
any additional patches that you have tested, that would help for my
initial ramp.
Thanks and regards,
Murali
