The development of modern industry is not only reflected in industrial automation, real-time control, low-power, multi-standard industrial control network interconnection, industrial human-machine interface optimization, 2D/3D graphics processing, 1080 HD HD video applications, including industrial control equipment The miniaturization of these needs has begun to emerge in large numbers. In this context, TI has introduced the Sitara AM57x processor family, the highest performing device in its processor platform.
The new Sitara AM57x family of processors is designed with high performance and integration in mind. Not only is it powerful enough to meet the real-time control processing requirements of industrial applications, but the integration of connectivity and multimedia capabilities helps developers simplify their Designed to achieve multi-chip functions with a single chip, it can meet the real needs of modern industrial fields.
The Sitara AM57x processor family is designed to provide developers with a combination of advanced integration, scalability and peripherals. The Sitara AM57x processor is powered by the ARM Cortex-A15 running for high-performance processing and advanced operating system (HLOS). With its unique heterogeneous architecture, the device is suitable for a wide range of embedded and industrial applications. In addition, the Sitara AM57x processor integrates a C66x digital signal processor (DSP) for analysis and real-time computing, a programmable real-time unit (PRU), an ARM Cortex-M4 core for control functions, and an advanced user interface. And video and graphics accelerators for multimedia applications, the integration of these configurations makes the AM57x processor stand out in its class.
According to Bao Zhen, TI's embedded processor business development manager, the Sitara AM57x processor provides developers with unique performance. Compared to the quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, its performance is increased by 40%, compared to the current dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor in the embedded market, the performance is improved by 280%.
Powerful performance and small size make the Sitara AM57x processor ideal for industrial robots. There is usually a control center under the base of the industrial robot. Now we see the mainstream PC that uses the X86 platform. The X86 platform has high requirements for heat dissipation, so the radiator and the fan need to be fully configured and made with the X86 platform. Industrial PC machines are as big as computers, and the AM57x processor can reduce the size of industrial PC machines by at least one time. This is a very strong demand on the market, and now the performance of the AM57x is basically equivalent to the performance of the PC, to meet the performance and volume requirements of industrial robots.

It is reported that in addition to the A15, the AM57x processor series is actually equipped with a C66 DSP. The unique combination of two different types of computing cores can maximize the benefits for developers, each of which has up to two The ARM Cortex-A15 core and C66x DSP are used to perform different tasks. The multi-core architecture assigns tasks to the right core for flexibility while providing system integration and optimal performance, which is a guarantee of the performance of the AM57x processor and the strength of TI's original heterogeneous architecture.
We all know that in addition to strong control capabilities, industrial applications require high-speed processing. The AM57x processor family continues the advantages of the previous generation. The AM57x processor also includes two ARM Cortex-M4 cores and four PRUs. Developers provide low latency and real-time control functions necessary for industrial applications such as controlling motors or monitoring sensors.
In addition, the AM57x processor is unique in high-speed connectivity and multimedia acceleration. For example, two 32-bit DDR3/3L ports equipped with ECC, two PCle, 2Gb Ethernet, USB20, USB3.0, SATA, 2 DCAN, QSPI, 10 UART, 8 MCASP, 5 I2C, etc., AM57x processing The Industrial Communication Subsystem (ICSS) is equipped to support real-time fieldbus protocols and other industrial communications, while providing flexible branching systems with integrated high-speed peripherals such as PCIe, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 3.0. Sex. The multimedia acceleration of the AM57x processor integrates two SGX5443-D and a GC320 2-D graphics accelerator for advanced graphical user interfaces, as well as a 1080p60 video accelerator and multi-monitor support for HD video playback. Multiple camera inputs for recording, taking photos or reading barcodes.
For power consumption, Bao Zhen said that low power consumption and strong performance have always been TI's technical strengths. The Sitara AM57x processor can achieve less than 4 watts and can be fanless. And as everyone knows, the advantage of TI DSP is that it can achieve very high computing power under very low power consumption.
Scalable software experience and a large supporting ecosystem are also a feature of the Sitara AM57x processor and an effective guarantee for development efficiency. The Processor SDK package provided by TI is completely unified, that is, all devices will use the Processor SDK. The software library inside it, regardless of the previous C66, C67, or AM335X, can directly move its library directly. You can do software and hardware migration on the AM57x. With a common code base, developers don't need to relearn the software platform. The Processor SDK provides a unified software platform for TI processor portfolios with a consistent software foundation, such as the mainline long-term stable (LTS) Linux kernel (RT-Linux), Linaro toolchain, and Yocto Project compatible file system. . This can greatly improve the efficiency of engineer development and speed up the process of product launch.
The Sitara AM57x processor family includes AM5726, AM5716, AM5728, and AM5718. This is a functional integration optimization for different customer needs, covering a wide range of industrial applications to meet customer needs for performance and cost.
Modern industrial equipment needs to face many large networks, so each processor needs to have control, communication and computing. Sitara AM57x processor rich peripherals, widely scalable I/O, C66x DSP, multiple communications Protocol integration, 3D and hardware acceleration for graphics processing, and high integration of PRU (Programmable Real-Time Logic Unit) make it not only the industry's most advanced computing power, but also real-time control, connectivity and multimedia capabilities. Ideal for industrial applications such as real-time control, industrial Internet of Things, factory automation, machine vision, embedded computing, human machine interface (HMI), robotics, medical imaging, and avionics.
