1 Introduction
This document describes the known exceptions to the functional specifications for the Sitara™ AM335x

1.1 AM335x Device and Development Support Tool Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all
microprocessors (MPUs) and support tools. Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix)
(for example, XAM3358ZCE). Texas Instruments recommends two of three possible prefix designators for
its support tools: TMDX and TMDS. These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development
from engineering prototypes (TMDX) through fully qualified production devices and tools (TMDS).
Device development evolutionary flow:
X — Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications and may not use production assembly flow.
P — Prototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet final
electrical specifications.
null — Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
TMDX — Development-support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal
qualification testing.
TMDS — Fully-qualified development-support product.
X and P devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:
"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
Production devices and TMDS development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality
and reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P) have a greater failure rate than the standard production
devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system
because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be
used.
