1.1.1 PLC PHY Driver

This driver provides a non-blocking interface with the external on-chip PLC transceiver. The library uses the SPI peripheral library (PLIB) and the Direct Memory Access controller to interface with PL360/PL460 PLC devices. This Driver is used when the PLC transceiver is running the G3-PLC or PRIME PHY layer.

Key Features:

  • Supports a single instance of the PLC device (PL360 / PL460) and a single client to the driver

  • Supports the internal firmware upload process

  • Supports interrupt handling to read PLC events

  • Supports write/read to/from the internal PLC information Base (PIB)

  • Supports transmitting and receiving PLC frames

  • The library can be used in both Bare-Metal and RTOS environments
