1.3 Description
The AM335x microprocessors, based on the ARM Cortex-A8, are enhanced with image, graphics
processing, peripherals and industrial interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS. The device
supports the following high-level operating systems (HLOSs) that are available free of charge from TI:
•
•
Linux®
Android™
The AM335x microprocessor contains these subsystems:
•
•
Microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem based on the ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessor.
POWERVR SGX™ Graphics Accelerator subsystem for 3D graphics acceleration to support display
and gaming effects.
•
The Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) is separate
from the ARM core, allowing independent operation and clocking for greater efficiency and flexibility.
The PRU-ICSS enables additional peripheral interfaces and real-time protocols such as EtherCAT,
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, Ethernet Powerlink, Sercos, and others.
