SPRS717E –OCTOBER 2011–REVISED JANUARY 2013

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.
