Programmability is provided by a single-core ARM Cortex-A15 RISC CPU with Neon extensions and a TI C66x VLIW floating-point DSP core. The ARM processor lets developers keep control functions separate from vision algorithms programmed on the DSP and coprocessors, thus reducing the complexity of the system software.
Additionally, TI provides a complete set of development tools for the ARM and C66x DSP, including C compilers, a DSP assembly optimiser to simplify programming and scheduling, and a debugging interface for visibility into source code execution.
The AM5718-HIREL Sitara ARM processor family is qualified according to the AEC-Q100 Standard.
