Description
The AM335x microprocessors, based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor, are enhanced with image,
graphics processing, peripherals and industrial interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS. The
devices support high-level operating systems (HLOS). Linux
®
and Android™ are available free of charge
from TI.
The AM335x microprocessor contain the subsystems shown in
and a brief description of each
follows:
The microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor and the PowerVR
SGX™ Graphics Accelerator subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to support display and gaming
effects.
The Programmable Real-Time Unit Subsystem and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) is
separate from the ARM core, allowing independent operation and clocking for greater efficiency and
flexibility. The PRU-ICSS enables additional peripheral interfaces and real-time protocols such as
EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, Ethernet Powerlink, Sercos, and others. Additionally, the
programmable nature of the PRU-ICSS, along with its access to pins, events and all system-on-chip (SoC)
resources, provides flexibility in implementing fast, real-time responses, specialized data handling
operations, custom peripheral interfaces, and in offloading tasks from the other processor cores of SoC.
