MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X

The AM261x microcontroller (MCU) plus software development kit (SDK) is a unified software platform for embedded processors providing easy setup and fast out-of-the-box access to examples, benchmarks and demonstrations. This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating creating basic system software functions from scratch.

The SDK includes support for the R5F & M4 cores, examples, drivers and bootloaders. The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common application programming interface (APIs) and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality. The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.

Software support:

• MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X: MCU plus SDK provides foundation software and building blocks to develop an application on AM261x MCU. The SDK includes support for R5F cores, examples, drivers and bootloaders.
• IND-COMMS-SDK : industrial communications SDK enables real-time industrial communications for TI processors. Industrial communication is typically handled by the programmable real-time unit industrial communication subsystem (PRU-ICSS). Industrial communications SDK includes MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM261X.
• AM261X-MCAL-SDK : MCAL SDK , a single scalable package that offers streamlined development on TI’s MCUs contains device abstraction layer peripheral/board level and sample/demo examples that demonstrate the capabilities of the peripherals for development, deployment and execution of applications.
• TIFS and Key Writer Package: TI Foundational Security (TIFS) is add on package for MCU-PLUS-SDK for development of SDKs on Security enabled devices providing Root of trust with Customer provisioned keys. Additionally it provides crypto drivers, security services for boot, debug, run-time OTP services and key management. Key writer utility will help customers to provision customer keys and transitioning the Secure device life cycle from HS-FS (non secure variant without security) to HS-SE (production variant with security enabled). This can be requested though the AM261X-TIFS-SDK package.

• FreeRTOS and No-RTOS support on ARM Cortex R5F
• Device drivers for system-on-a-chip (SoC) and evaluation module (EVM) peripherals
• Bootloaders for different boot media like universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) and quad serial peripheral interface (OSPI) flash
• Tight integration with tools
  • SysConfig tool integration for generating system initialization code for pinmux, peripheral and clock configuration
  • Code Composer Studio (CCSTUDIO) integrated development environment (IDE) integration with CCSTUDIO projects for all examples
  • TI resource explorer (TIREX) integration for browsing the SDK from within CCSTUDIO or web browser
  • Flashing tools to flash applications and bootloaders to flash media
