The TMDS64 evaluation module (EVM) is a stand-alone test and development platform ideal for accelerating the prototype phase of your next design. TMDS64EVM is equipped with a Sitara™ AM6442 processor, along with additional components that allow the user to make use of various device interfaces, including industrial Ethernet, standard Ethernet, peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe), fast serial interface (FSI) and others to easily create prototypes.
An onboard display makes use of AM64x serial peripheral interface (SPI) ports to provide the ability for local visual outputs in addition to the LEDs. Onboard current-measurement capabilities are available to monitor power consumption for power-conscious applications.
During custom board design, customers tend to reuse the SK design files and make edits to the design file. Alternatively customers reuse some of the common implementations including the SOC, memory and communication interfaces. Since the SK is expected to have additional functionalities, customers optimize the SK implementation to suit their board design requirements. While optimizing the SK schematics, errors get introduced into the custom design that could cause functional, performance or reliability issues. When optimizing customers have queries regarding the SK implementation resulting in design errors. Many of the optimization and design errors are common across designs. Based on the learnings and data sheet pin connectivity recommendations, comprehensive Design Notes (D-Note:), Review Notes (R-Note:) and Cad Notes (Cad Note:) have been added near each section of the SK schematic that customers could review and follow to minimize errors. Additional files as part of the design downloads have been included to support customer evaluation.
The TMDS64EVM is best suited for:

Build Sheet of supported features for AM64x
Thank you for your interest in PROCESSOR SDK LINUX AM64x Software Development Kit (SDK). This SDK is a Linux only package. The Processor SDK is a unified software platform for TI embedded processors providing easy setup and fast out-of-the-box access to benchmarks and demos. All releases of Processor SDK are consistent across TI’s broad portfolio, allowing developers to seamlessly reuse and develop software across devices.
This release adds support for production Silicon Release 2.0 High Security - Field Securable (HS-FS) devices.
TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot
In order to improve access to the very latest bug fixes and feature enhancements, TI is enabling Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for AM64x processors. The patches for these changes have always been available on public repositories hosted on git.ti.com, and these source repositories could be built using the Yocto build environment on a daily basis. The new TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot makes it even easier to consume these changes with pre-built binaries of Linux boot images to try out on TI Evaluation Modules (EVMs and SKs) before migrating or picking the patches. A detailed test report is also published to help users understand the status of the build and features being validated. The Linux boot images from a snapshot can be regenerated using sources by following the build instructions provided on the snapshot page.
The daily snapshot is not a replacement for the official Processors SDK releases which have full documentation, training and support. The snapshot is a new easy way to try bug fixes and feature enhancements planned for the next SDK while enabling much more tighter integration with customizations and application development. This improved integration should allow users to release their customized code built on the SDKs more quickly and confidently.
