The AM335x microprocessors, based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor,
are enhanced with image, graphics processing, peripherals and
industrial interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS. The
devices support high-level operating systems (HLOS). Processor SDK
Linux® and TI-RTOS are available free of charge from TI.
The AM335x microprocessor contains the subsystems shown in the
Functional Block Diagram and a brief description of each follows:
The contains the subsystems shown in the Functional Block Diagram
and a brief description of each follows:
The microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem is based on the ARM
Cortex-A8 processor and the PowerVR SGXTM Graphics Accelerator
subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to support display and
gaming effects.
The PRU-ICSS is separate from the ARM core, allowing independent
operation and clocking for greater efficiency and flexibility. The
PRU-ICSS enables additional peripheral interfaces and real-time
protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS,
Ethernet Powerlink, Sercos, and others. Additionally, the
programmable nature of the PRU-ICSS, along with its access to pins,
events and all system-on-chip (SoC) resources, provides flexibility
in implementing fast, real-time responses, specialized data
handling operations, custom peripheral interfaces, and in
offloading tasks from the other processor cores of SoC.
