SK-AM62
AM62x starter kit for Sitara™ processors
SK-AM62
Overview
The AM62x starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is a stand-alone test and development platform built around the AM62x system-on-a-chip (SoC). AM62x processors are comprised of a quad-core 64-bit Arm®-Cortex®-A53 microprocessor, single-core Arm Cortex-R5F microcontroller (MCU) and an Arm Cortex-M4F MCU.
The SK-AM62 is the version of the AM62x starter kits for general purpose applications utilizing a discrete power solution.
SK-AM62 allows the user to experience a dual-display feature through high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) [over dots per inch (DPI)] and low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), as well as industrial communication solutions using serial, Ethernet, USB and other interfaces.
SK-AM62 can be used for display applications (e.g., human machine interface (HMI) and control panel) with either an HDMI display or an external LVDS panel, up to 2K resolution. Its powerful Arm performance, up to quad-A53 at 1.4 GHz with rich industrial interfaces, offers good control and communication capabilities for a wide range of applications, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), automation control or a monitor/supervisor system.
In addition, SK-AM62 can communicate with other processors or systems and act as a communication gateway. It can directly operate as a standard remote I/O system or simple sensor connected to an industrial communication network. The embedded emulation logic allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools such as the Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (CCSTUDIO).

Release Information
PROCESSOR SDK LINUX AM62X
The Processor SDK Linux for AM62X is a software package from Texas Instruments that gives developers everything needed to build and run applications on TI embedded processors. It is designed for Linux-based systems and includes pre-built demos, benchmarks, and development tools to help you get started quickly. The SDK works consistently across TI's processor family, so code and tools developed for one device can be reused on others with minimal rework.
Latest Development Downloads – CI/CD
In addition to official SDK releases, TI provides periodic builds available for download. These builds are generated automatically and include the latest bug fixes and new features as soon as they are merged into the code base without waiting for the next scheduled SDK release. If you hit a bug during development, a periodic CI/CD build may already contain the fix. This is intended for local development use and lets you keep moving without being blocked by an open issue. The periodic downloads is not a replacement for the official Processors SDK releases which have full documentation, training and support.
