Abstract

The portfolio of AM62Lx System-on-Chips (SoCs) is designed for building a lite, low-power, and performance optimized Linux-based, embedded systems. AM62Lx is suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications such as Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), Medical patient monitoring , Building automation, Smart secure gateways, Smart Thermostats, EV charging stations, Smart Metering, Solar energy and more. This SoC family offers advanced features to meet the needs of today's systems. Fully leveraging these features with the development of custom platforms using these devices can be complex for new users. This application note improves the development efficiency for custom boards based on AM62Lx SoCs by providing a clear starting point for Linux development. For more information about the AM62Lx products, see the device-specific datasheet, EVM user's guide and AM62Lx Processor SDK documentation.
