The AM26x Hardware Design Guidelines is an essential document for hardware designers creating PCB systems based on the AM26x family of MCU devices. This document serves to integrate device-specific schematic and PCB layout recommendations by utilizing hardware design examples from the various AM263x, AM263Px, and AM261x evaluation modules (EVMs). The AM26x EVMs include the following hardware platforms:

In general, AM26x LaunchPads are lower-cost, entry-level evaluation platforms, while ControlCARDs and SOMs are meant for engineers designing complex systems with higher I/O requirements.
