Sitara AM437x SoC

The TI Sitara AM437x high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) is built around the ARM Cortex-
A9 core. The SoC includes POWERVR SGX™ 3D graphics acceleration for rich graphical user
interfaces, as well as a co-processor for deterministic, real-time processing including industrial
communication protocols, such as EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS®, EnDat and others. Cryptographic
acceleration is also available in every CM-T43 device. Secure boot can also be made available for
anti-cloning and illegal software update protection.
