2.2.1 Processor

BeagleBone Green Eco integrates the Texas Instruments AM335x 1GHz Arm Cortex-A8 processor that combines computational processing, graphics acceleration, and real-time control functionality within a single SoC. The architecture implements ARMv7-A with NEON™ Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) engine and VFPv3 floating-point unit for efficient execution of complex computational tasks, while maintaining power efficiency for embedded applications.

A distinctive feature is the Programmable Real-time Unit Subsystem and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS), comprising dual 32-bit RISC cores operating independently from the main Arm processor. These PRUs enable deterministic real-time control with sub-microsecond response times and implementation of specialized industrial communication protocols. The AM335x supports high-level operating systems including Linux and real-time operating systems through TI's Processor SDK and development environments.

  • AM335x 1GHz Arm Cortex-A8 processor, 15.0mm x 15.0mm, NFBGA (324)
  • NEON™ SIMD coprocessor and VFPv3 floating-point unit for accelerated media and signal processing
  • PowerVR SGX™ Graphics Accelerator supporting OpenGL ES 2.0
  • Dual 32-bit PRU-ICSS for real-time industrial communications and control
  • Support for industrial interfaces including EtherCAT, PROFINET, and PROFIBUS
