Overview

LP-AM263 is a cost-optimized development board for Sitara™ high-performance microcontrollers (MCUs) from the AM263x series. This board is ideal for initial evaluation and prototyping as it provides a standardized and easy-to-use platform to develop your next application.

LP-AM263 is equipped with a Sitara AM2634 processor, along with additional components, allowing the user to make use of various device interfaces, including industrial Ethernet (IE), standard Ethernet, fast serial interface (FSI) and others to easily create prototypes. AM2634 supports a variety of IE protocols, such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET®.

This extended LaunchPad™ XL development kit offers additional I/O pins for development and supports connection of up to two BoosterPack™ plug-in modules. LP-AM263 also features an intuitive out-of-box user's guide to quickly start design evaluation.
