TI disrupts the embedded market with the most powerful SoCs featuring real-time processing and multimedia

TI's new AM57x family, along with the Processor SDK, brings unrivaled integration, scalability, peripherals and ease of use associated with the powerful Sitara™ processor platform

DALLAS, Oct. 14, 2015 — (PRNewswire) — Bringing developers advanced integration, scalability and peripherals all in one chip, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today announced the Sitara™ AM57x processor family, the highest performance devices in this processor platform. Sitara AM57x processors are designed for a broad range of embedded and industrial applications through their unique heterogeneous architecture including ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores for high-performance processing and running a high-level operating system (HLOS). Additionally, AM57x processors integrate TI's C66x digital signal processors (DSPs) for analytics and real-time computation, programmable real-time units (PRU) and ARM Cortex-M4 cores for control functions, and video and graphic accelerators for advanced user interfaces and multimedia applications, making the AM57x processors unmatched in their class.

The new Sitara AM57x family of processors was designed from the ground up with high performance and integration in mind. As a result, the processors bring developers unparalleled performance of more than 40 percent greater than quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors and 280 percent greater than standard dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors found in the broad embedded market.  

Advanced integration capabilities of Sitara AM57x processors:
Sitara AM57x processors provide the industry's most advanced integration of compute, real-time control, connectivity and multimedia capabilities, allowing developers to simplify their designs with a single chip instead of needing multiple chips for each function. This integration is ideal for applications involving industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), factory automation, machine vision, embedded computing, human machine interface (HMI), robotics, medical imaging, avionics and more.

The AM57x processors are powered by a TI power management IC, TPS659037. In addition, the AM57x EVM includes a connector for plugging in one of TI's WiLink™ 8 modules, enabling both Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. 

Create tailored solutions with a completely scalable software experience
TI is redefining scalability with the pin-compatible AM57x processor family and the all new Processor SDK, the first scalable software experience across TI's Sitara and DSP processor portfolio. The processor families feature low- to high-end options ( AM335x, AM437x and AM57x families) with a common code base so developers do not have to re-learn the software platform. Processor SDK is a unified software platform for TI's processor portfolio that uses a consistent software foundation including a mainline long term stable (LTS) Linux® kernel (with RT-Linux coming later), Linaro™ tool chain and Yocto Project™ compatible file system. It provides developers with a consistent user experience without having to reinvest in software resources. TI-RTOS support is also available for optimum real-time performance. Additionally, users benefit from simplified development through programming frameworks such as Khronos OpenCL that allow developers to leverage the DSPs without needing any DSP expertise.

A vast development and support ecosystem
TI has collaborated with BeagleBoard.org to power the new BeagleBoard-X15 with the Sitara AM5728 processor and provide access to a large community of open-source hardware developers. Additional third-party solutions from members of the TI Design Network provide customers validated hardware modules and robust software offerings, such as hardware-accelerated video codecs. Developers benefit from flexible operating systems and a wide range of product needs with solutions such as Windows Embedded Compact 2013 and Android™ 5.0 from Adeneo Embedded, RTOS from Mentor Embedded, Green Hills, QNX Software Systems, and Wind River. Prebuilt hardware modules from Ittiam, PHYTEC, D3 Engineering, CompuLab, DAB-EMBEDDED and Z3 Technology further shorten the development cycle for customers.

Pricing and availability
Samples of Sitara AM57x processors are now available from TI. The AM57x evaluation module (EVM) ( TMDXEVM5728) is available on the TI Store and through authorized distributors for $599. Contact TI's ecosystem partners to evaluate their Sitara AM57x-based solutions. Additional Sitara AM57x TI Designs reference designs are available now.
