When it comes to TI (Texas Instruments), presumably everyone is no stranger, it is at the world’s leading level in the field of simulators, especially the DSP we are familiar with, and it is beyond the major peers.

Similarly, in the CPU field, TI also has a good technical foundation, with MSP430 ultra-low power consumption, became popular around the world.

Today to share with you is TI’s new generation of star CPU – AM62x, it compared to the previous generation AM335x in the process, peripherals, performance and other aspects have been greatly improved.

Here combined with the “MYC-YM62X core board and development board” of Mill Electronics to describe this star CPU.

TI AM62x

Although TI’s processor and other manufacturers’ processors all use the Arm core, its peripheral resources, stability and many other aspects are still different.

1, AM62x processor AM62x is a high-performance, ultra-efficient processor. Positioned in intelligent industrial CPU, used in medical, industrial HMI, automation, power, display and control terminal and many other scenarios.

Important parameters:
•Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.4GHz
• Performance up to 16.8K DMIPS
•3D GPU graphics accelerator
•TI dedicated GPMC interface
• Industrial grade: -40℃~+85℃

2, Mill based on AM62x core board Mill for three different AM62x processors (AM6231, AM6252, AM6254), do pin-compatible core board, mainly to meet different customer needs.

The three core boards all use high-density high-speed circuit board design, the size of 43mm*45mm, and integrated DDR4, eMMC, E2PROM, PMIC power management circuits.

Stamp hole +LGA design, in addition to low cost, there are many advantages:
• Strong shock resistance
• No extra connectors required
• Easy to mass produce batch patches
• Helps to reduce costs
• Anti-signal interference, anti-dust
• Compact package, less floor space

At the same time, MYC-YM62X core board based on TI AM62x processor has passed EMC, high and low temperature and other tests.

3. Mir based on AM62x baseboard Mir based on AM62 baseboard provides a wealth of peripheral interfaces to meet the needs of different users:

Here you can see the parameter information provided by the official mill:

AM62x Processor development Guide

The TI AM62x processor uses the ARM core, which is similar to other ARM core processors for application development. However, if you want to use this processor for application development, you still need to master some basic knowledge.

Of course, the original processor, as well as the official mill development board have provided the corresponding development guidelines, as well as Demo software.

In order to facilitate developers to quickly develop their own applications, the official provides a good transplant system, as well as a supporting SDK, a variety of development and debugging tools, application development routines and so on.

Of course, the official also has novices and beginners in mind, offering nanny level hands-on tutorials, including:
• Prepare the software and hardware development environment
• Build board images using the SDK
• Burn the system image
•U-boot, Kernel and other configurations
•Makefile, Qt and other applications

Specific details, in the purchase of the development board will also provide relevant CD-ROM information, Linux software development main process, you can also see the article shared before “Mill based on D9 software development process”.

finally

The AM62x series processor is a new generation of TI star CPU, which can perfectly replace the previous generation AM335x, with more powerful performance, so that your application becomes easy and comfortable.

The AM62x processor is suitable for many scenarios such as medical, industrial HMI, automation, power, display and control terminals. If you’re looking for a similar chip, take a look at the AM62x core board and development board.
