The SK-AM62B-P1 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 and single-core Arm Cortex-M4F MCU.
SK-AM62B-P1 is the newest version of SK-AM62, which includes the TPS64219/20 PMIC on-board that is designed to enable power efficient portable and stationary applications. Additionally, the SK-AM62B-P1 is security enabled which allows for secure boot, debug security and firewalls.
SK-AM62B-P1 allows the user to experience a dual-display feature with optional 3D GPU 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-AM62B-P1 can be used for display applications (e.g., human machine interface (HMI) and control panel) with either an HDMI display and/ or an external LVDS panel, up to 2K 60fps 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, EV charging, medical, or building automation systems.
In addition, SK-AM62B-P1 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). Reference software for many applications can be downloaded from AM62x Development Portal
