The processor's Linux SDK on the AM65x, from user standpoint of view, has the same look and feel as the other catalog processors' Linux SDK offerings. This presentation section will introduce the main components of the Linux SDK.

All right, now, let's look at the processor's Linux SDK for the AM65x and the features that come with it. The first thing I like to point out is that the AM65x Linux SDK has the same look and feel as the other catalog processors such as AM3x, AM4x, and AM5x. This page is from the TI website, and lists the features and the components of the processor's Linux SDK.

The SDK is available for free from ti.com, and includes the complete U-Boot and kernel source code and the board support packages necessary for running the AM65x-based EVMs. Also included are the necessary tool chains to build the images and the Yocto-based project that's used to build the file system that developers can start with.

The SDK also provides example application source code and helpful scripts for setting up the development environment ecosystem and creating SD cards using the prebuilt images for the out-of-box evaluations. Support is available from TI's E2E processor forum support community, also the LTS support model of the Linux kernels community and U-Boot community.

Each SDK comes with an installer that can be downloaded from ti.com. Once that the installer has been loaded into a Ubuntu LTS desktop, the user can then start the installation.

This is the first screen you'll see as the installation starts. From here, you'll just click Next. This screen, here, is showing the default installation directory. You can choose it or you can-- you can either choose it or choose it to name it to a different directory. I typically use the default one.

The next screen is about-- is showing you the progress of the installation.

And then, finally, as the installation completes, you'll see this screen. And you click Finish, and then you're ready to use the SDK.

The TI processor SDK has a common documentation package that is for all the supported catalog processors. Documentation covers the SDK and what is called the foundation components and the PRU-IC-SS protocols.

The first section covers the how-to guides, building, support, training. The Foundational Components section covers the software offered in the SDK. For example, the Linux Kernel section describes configuration, building, release notes, and other information. The PRU-IC-SS Protocol section describes the protocols currently available on the processor.

This is a block diagram of the Linux stack that's on the AM65x. This is the same stack that's available on the AM3x, 4x, and 5x processors. There is nothing unique or special [INAUDIBLE] difference between the processors. TFL is a community LTS releases for the Linux kernel, and there are not any special TI-only application libraries to take advantage of the AM65x processor for Linux.
