Abstract

The portfolio of AM62x System-on-Chips (SoCs) is designed for building cost optimized Linux based embedded systems. With a diverse set of peripherals and configurations, the AM62x is suitable for many market applications, both in automotive and industrial. This family offers many 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 AM62x SoCs by providing a clear starting point for Linux development. For more information about the AM62x products, see the device-specific data sheet, user guides and SDK documentation.
