Platform for evaluating the control capabilities of processors
The AM65x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) from Texas Instruments is a development platform for evaluating the industrial communication and control capabilities of Sitara AM65x processors for applications in factory automation, drives, robotics, grid infrastructure, and more.
AM65x processors include three PRU-ICSS (Programmable Real-time Unit for Industrial Communications) sub-systems which can be used for gigabit industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, and others.
Features
- Up to 6 industrial gigabit Ethernet ports and 1 standard gigabit Ethernet port that can be used concurrently.
- 4GB DDR4 with ECC.
- Profibus connection and industrial I/O header.
- On-board 16GB eMMC.
- On-board 512Mb OSPI Flash.
- Two-lane PCIe Gen3.1, USB 2.0 and CSI-2 interfaces.
