AM57x SoC

The TI Sitara AM57x system-on-chip (SoC) is built around dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU. Dual
C66x VLIW DSP cores and dedicated ARM Cortex-M4 IPUs make AM572x a powerful platform for
image and video processing systems, while dual PowerVR SGX544 GPU and IVA-HD video sub-
system enable multimedia demanding applications.
