Development platform for evaluating industrial communication

  The AM574x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) from Texas Instruments is a development platform for evaluating the industrial communication and control capabilities of Sitara AM574x processors for applications in factory automation, drives, robotics, grid infrastructure, and more. 

AM574x processors include dual PRU-ICSS (Programmable Real-time Unit for Industrial Communications) sub-systems which can be used for industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, and others. The TMDXIDK574 breaks out six ports of Ethernet, four of which can be used concurrently: two Gb Ethernet ports and two 10/100 Ethernet ports from the PRU-ICSS subsystems.

Features

  • Four Ethernet ports with concurrent operation including 2 from PRU-ICSS.
  • DDR3 with ECC.
  • Profibus connection, EtherCAT and RS485 Headers.
  • On-board eMMC.
  • Mini PCIe, USB3, and HDMI connectors.
