Processor SDK 5.2 Released (AM65x, AM57x, AM437x, AM335x, AMIC1x, K2x, C66x, C674x, OMAP-L13x)

Processor SDK 5.2 is now available for download! For migration information, see the page for the individual operating system: Linux, RTOS, or Android.

The Processor SDK (Software Development Kit) 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. Developing scalable platform solutions has never been easier than with the Processor SDK and TI’s embedded processor solutions.

To simplify the end user experience, the software installers are customized for the hardware platform and the operating system – Linux, RT-Linux, RTOS, or Android. In the table below, you can find a direct link to a download page for your platform and operating system:
