TI SK-AM62-LP

The low-power AM62x starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is a stand-alone test and development platform built around the AM62x system-on-a-chip (SoC). AM62x processors are comprised of a quad-core 64-bit Arm®-Cortex®-A53 microprocessor, single-core Arm Cortex-R5F microcontroller (MCU) and an Arm Cortex-M4F MCU.

SK-AM62-LP allows the user to experience a dual-display feature through high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) [over dots per inch (DPI)] and low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) up to 2K resolution, as well as industrial communication solutions using serial, Ethernet, USB and other interfaces. Its powerful Arm performance, up to quad-A53 at 1.4 GHz with rich interfaces, offers good control and communication capabilities for a wide range of applications, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), automation control or a monitor/supervisor system.

PocketBeagle 2

Next-gen pocket-size single-board computer!

PocketBeagle 2 is an upgraded version of the popular PocketBeagle, designed as an ultra-compact, low-cost, and powerful single-board computer (SBC). Targeted at developers, students, and hobbyists, PocketBeagle 2 retains the simplicity and flexibility of its predecessor while delivering enhanced performance and expanded features to support modern development needs. PocketBeagle 2 is ideal for creating IoT devices, robotics projects, and educational applications. Its small form factor and low power consumption make it a versatile platform for embedded development, whether prototyping or deploying at scale.

PocketBeagle 2 is based on Texas Instruments AM6232 SoC. Its dual A53 cores can provide higher performance than classic PocketBeagle. The new design comes with pre-soldered headers, a 3-pin JST-SH 1.00mm UART debug port, a USB-C port, Texas Instruments MSPM0L1105 Cortex-M0+ MCU for ADC, 512MB RAM, and a LiPo Battery charger.
