AM335x microprocessors are based on ARM Cortex-A8 processors and are enhanced with image, graphics processing, peripherals, and industrial interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS. These devices support Advanced operating system (HLOS). Processors SDK Linux and TI-RTOS are available free of charge from TI.
The microprocessor unit subsystem is based on ARM Cortex-A8 processors, and the PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to support display and game effects. PRU-ICSS is separated from the ARM kernel and allows independent operation and timing for greater efficiency and flexibility. PRU-ICSS supports other peripheral interfaces and real-time protocols, such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, Ethernet / IP, PROFIBUS, Ethernet Powerlink, SERCOS, etc. In addition, PRU-ICSS 's programmability and access to pins, events, and all system-on-a-chip (SoC) resources provide flexibility for fast real-time response, specialized data processing operations, customized peripheral interfaces, and offloading tasks from other processor cores of SoC.
