AM335x Starter Kit Facilitates Quick Start Evaluation of Sitara™ ARM® Cortex™-A8 AM335x Processors

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The AM335x Starter Kit (EVM-SK) provides a stable and affordable platform to quickly start evaluation of Sitara™ ARM® Cortex™-A8 AM335x Processors (AM3352, AM3354, AM3356, AM3358).

It accelerates development for smart appliance, industrial, and networking applications. It is a low-cost development platform based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor that is integrated with options such as Dual Gigabit Ethernet, DDR3 and LCD touch screen. At speeds up to 720 MHZ, the AM335x Starter Kit accelerates designs with a ready-for-production hardware and software platform. This “best value” board offers the ability to quickly evaluate the features of the processor and accompanying TI components. As such, it takes the guess work out of the hardware design and enables both experienced and novice designers to focus on product differentiation (advanced graphics, connectivity, etc.). One standout feature of the kit is that it is designed with DDR3 to reduce BOM costs and deliver faster memory throughput. Another important feature is its 4.3-inch resistive touch LCD screen, which supports rotation and tilt capabilities via the on-board accelerometer. Additionally, the AM335x offers dual gigabit Ethernet ports with integrated switch.
