AM4379 Sitara Processor is Based on ARM Cortex-A9 Core

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The TI AM437x high-performance processors are based on the ARM Cortex-A9 core.

The processors are enhanced with 3-D graphics acceleration for rich graphical user interfaces, as well as a coprocessor for deterministic, real-time processing, including industrial communication protocols. Protocols may range from EtherCAT and PROFIBUS to EnDat, Sercos and others. The devices support high-level operating systems (HLOS). Linux is available free of charge from TI. Other HLOSs are available from TI's Design Network and ecosystem partners. These devices offer an upgrade to systems based on lower performance ARM cores and provide updated peripherals, including memory options such as QSPI-NOR and LPDDR2. The processor subsystem is based on the ARM Cortex-A9 core, and the POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to support display and advanced user interfaces. The programmable real-time unit subsystem and industrial communication subsystem (PRU-ICSS) is separate from the ARM core. It allows independent operation and clocking for greater efficiency and flexibility.
