AM64x SK EVM
This technical user's guide describes the hardware architecture of the AM64x SKEVM. The AM64x processor
comprises of a Dual-Core 64-bit Arm-Cortex A53 microprocessor, 2x Dual core Arm
Arm Cortex-M4F MCU.
The AM64x starter kit is a stand-alone test and development platform that is an excellent choice for accelerating
the prototype phase of the next design. The kit includes: wired and wireless connectivity, three expansion
headers, multiple boot options and flexible debug capabilities.
The starter kit is equipped with AM64x processor from TI and an optimized feature-set to allow the user to create
commercial and industrial devices using Ethernet-based, USB, and serial wired interfaces plus 2.4-GHz and
5-GHz wireless communications. Two 1-Gbps Ethernet Ports for wired connectivity are on-board, in addition to
three expansion headers (PRU, MCU, User) headers to expand the functionality of the board. Using standard
serial protocols such as UART, I2C, and SPI, the starter kit can interface with a multitude of other devices,
acting as a communications gateway. Receiving 5-V power from a standard USB-C port, the starter kit allows
the user to access the R5F cores of the AM64x; making the device an excellent choice as a programmable
logic controller (PLC) or motor controller, processing sensor inputs and managing peripherals in real-time while
running Linux on the A53 cores, and making the device the central engine in a remote industrial communication
network. The embedded emulation logic allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools
such as Code Composer Studio
This evaluation board is a pre-production release and has several known issues that must not be
copied into a production system. For detailed information, see
