Processors enhanced with 3D graphics acceleration
The AM437x high-performance processors from Texas Instruments are based on the ARM Cortex-A9 core. The processors are enhanced with 3D graphics acceleration for rich graphical user interfaces, as well as a coprocessor for deterministic, real-time processing including industrial communication protocols, such as EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, EnDat, and others.
The devices support high-level operating systems (HLOS). Linux is available free of charge from TI. Other HLOSs are available from TI’s Design Network and ecosystem partners. These devices offer an upgrade to systems based on lower performance ARM cores and provide updated peripherals, including memory options such as QSPI-NOR and LPDDR2.
The processor subsystem is based on the ARM Cortex-A9 core, and the PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to support display and advanced user interfaces.
