Part Number: AM2432
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6442

I want to select AM2432 or AM6442 processor for my new design, since it has inbuilt TSN Ethernet interface.

But this processor/MCU is in preview stage.

What is the confidence level of sucessful comletion of these processor and when this processor will be availble?

Is is recommended for the safety critical application?

What will be the longitivity of these processor and controller?

Is any other processor/MCU is available with TSN interface, if yes kindly provide the part number

The hardware on AM64x and AM243x families supports several TSN features, the software support for Linux is in the SDK now. See https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1055938/processor-sdk-am64x-tsn-support-on-am64x as a starting point.

The AM64x and AM243x families have been sampling for over a year and production is planned for later this year.

There are safety capabilities in these devices as stated in the datasheet section functional safety (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/am6442.pdf ).

For longetivity question the Sitara Processors and MCUs target industrial markets with long lifecycles.
