Texas Instruments (TI) announced that it has brought the Sitara AM57x processor family into a complete chip, integrating developers' advanced integration, scalability and peripherals into one chip, which is the highest performance of this processor platform device.
The Sitara AM57x processors are designed for a wide range of embedded and industrial applications through its novel heterogeneous architecture, including the ARM Cortex-A15 core for high-performance processing and running the Advanced Operating System (HLOS). In addition, the AM57x processors integrate TI C66x digital signal processors (DSPs) for analysis and real-time calculations, programmable real-time units (PRU) and ARM Cortex-M4 cores for control functions, and advanced user interfaces And multimedia video and graphics accelerator applications make AM57x processors unparalleled in their class.
The new Sitara AM57x series processors are designed from the ground up with high performance and integration in mind. As a result, these processors bring unparalleled performance to developers, more than 40% higher than quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors in the broad embedded market, and 280% higher than standard dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors .
Advanced integration features �C The Sitara AM57x processors provide the industry's most advanced computing, real-time control, connectivity, and multimedia function integration, enabling developers to simplify designs with a single chip without requiring multiple chips per function. This integration is ideal for applications involving Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), factory automation, machine vision, embedded computing, human-machine interface (HMI), robotics, medical imaging, avionics, and more.
1-Computing: Developers will benefit from a unique combination of two different types of computing cores, each with up to two ARM Cortex-A15 cores and C66x DSPs performing separate tasks. Multicore architectures provide flexibility by assigning tasks to the right cores while driving system integration and best-in-class performance��all in one chip. 2-Control: In addition to the high-performance core, the AM57x processors include two ARM Cortex-M4 cores and four PRUs, providing developers with low-latency real-time control functions required for industrial applications such as controlling motors or monitoring. sensor. 3-Connectivity: The processor is equipped with an industrial communications subsystem (ICSS) for real-time fieldbus protocols and other industrial communications, as well as a wide range of integrated high-speed peripherals (such as PCIe, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0) System flexibility. These features, coupled with the high-performance ARM Cortex-A15 core and DSP, enable the AM57x processors to send and receive data faster. 4-Multimedia: The device integrates up to two SGX544 3-D and one GC320 2-D graphics accelerator for advanced graphical user interface; 1080p60 video accelerator and multiple monitors support HD video playback; and for recording events, taking pictures or reading Multiple camera inputs for barcodes. These devices integrate up to two SGX544 3-D and GC320 2-D graphics accelerators for advanced graphical user interfaces. 1080p60 video accelerator and multi-monitor support for HD video playback; and multiple camera inputs for recording events, taking pictures or reading barcodes.

The AM57x processors are powered by TI power management IC TPS659037. In addition, the AM57x EVM includes a connector that plugs into one of TI ��s WiLink 8 modules, enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Create tailored solutions with a fully extensible software experience �C TI is redefining scalability with the pin-compatible AM57x processor family and the new Processor SDK, which is part of the TI Sitara and DSP processor portfolio The first scalable software experience. The processor family has low-end to high-end options (AM335x, AM437x, and AM57x families) and a common code base so developers do not have to relearn the software platform. Processor SDK is a unified software platform for TI's processor portfolio, which uses a consistent software foundation, including the mainline long-term stable (LTS) Linux kernel (RT-Linux will be released later), Linaro toolchain and Yocto Project compatible file system . It provides developers with a consistent user experience without having to reinvest in software resources. TI-RTOS support also provides the best real-time performance. In addition, users can benefit from simplified development through programming frameworks such as Khronos OpenCL, which enables developers to utilize DSPs without any DSP expertise.
Vast Development and Support Ecosystem-TI has partnered with BeagleBoard.org to power the new BeagleBoard-X15 with the Sitara AM5728 processor and provides access to the broad open source hardware developer community. Other third-party solutions provided by TI Design Network members provide customers with proven hardware modules and powerful software products, such as hardware-accelerated video codecs. Developers can benefit from flexible operating systems and a wide range of product requirements with solutions such as Windows Embedded Compact 2013 and Adeneo Embedd's Android 5.0. To support this, TI also developed the AM57x evaluation module (EVM).
