PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62A
Software development kit for AM62A Sitara™ processors for edge AI applications
PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62A
Overview
The AM62A vision processor Linux® and TI MCU plus software development kits (SDKs) are unified software platforms for our embedded processors with deep learning capabilities with edge AI. They provide easy setup and fast out-of-the-box access to benchmarks and demonstrations. AM62A is a high secure and field securable device for loading trusted firmware.
All releases of these SDKs are consistent across TI’s broad portfolio for which they are provided, allowing developers to seamlessly reuse and develop software across devices.

Release Information
Thank you for your interest in the AM62A MCU PLUS Software Development Kit (SDK). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.
- The SDK includes a real-time multitasking kernel, examples and drivers.
- The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality.
- The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.
What's new
- SBL: Image authentication from DDR when in-place authentication fails from OSPI NOR
- SBL: Software version check with RPRC image format
- SBL: Switch off bootable cores in case of boot failure

Release Information
Thank you for your interest in PROCESSOR SDK LINUX AM62A Software Development Kit (SDK) for edge AI applications.
The Yocto build environment based Linux SDK for edge AI provides
- Upstream Linux LTS Kernel with peripheral drivers, U-Boot bootloader.
- Pre-integrated firmware for hardware accelerated deep learning and camera ISP
- GStreamer plugins and edge AI application stack
The SDK documentation provides simple steps to build, develop and run high performance deep learning applications using a live camera and display.
TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot
In order to improve access to the very latest bug fixes and feature enhancements, TI is enabling Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for AM62A processors. The patches for these changes have always been available on public repositories hosted on git.ti.com, and these source repositories could be built using the Yocto build environment on a daily basis. The new TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot makes it even easier to consume these changes with pre-built binaries of Linux boot images to try out on TI Evaluation Modules (EVMs and SKs) before migrating or picking the patches. A detailed test report is also published to help users understand the status of the build and features being validated. The Linux boot images from a snapshot can be regenerated using sources by following the build instructions provided on the snapshot page.
The daily snapshot is not a replacement for the official Processors SDK releases which have full documentation, training and support. The snapshot is a new easy way to try bug fixes and feature enhancements planned for the next SDK while enabling much more tighter integration with customizations and application development. This improved integration should allow users to release their customized code built on the SDKs more quickly and confidently.
