3.1 Hardware

Two classes of embedded Arm® processors from the Texas Instruments Sitara™ family are used for this demonstration. AM6412 and AM625 processors with up to 1.4GHz Arm Cortex®-A53 and 800 MHz Cortex-R5 cores and an integrated embedded TSN switch are used as a lower end controller with the below 2W of power consumption. For the higher end controller, an AM682 processor with dual core 2GHz Arm Cortex-A72 was used.
