AM261x controlSOM Evaluation Board
Description
AM261-SOM-EVM is an evaluation and development
board for the Texas Instruments' Sitara
series of microcontrollers (MCUs). The System-On-
Module design with three 120-pin high-speed, high-
density connectors is an excellent choice for initial
evaluation and rapid prototyping. An
EVM is required for evaluation using the AM261-
SOM-EVM, and can be bundled with the AM261-
SOM-EVM or purchased separately.
