LP-AM243: Team questions

Part Number: LP-AM243


Hello Expert,

our team had a meeting and there is couple questions that we cannot seem to find answer for. Would you mind helping us?

Here they are:

What is the highest C++ version supported with SDK version 8.5. ?


Is there a way to determine what is the input Voltage level of SoC from within the running application?


What is a reasonable boot-time on AM243x ? I know this depends on the application, flash and so on...
However I just need an example of what is expected boot time.

Best regards and have a nice day.

  • Hi,

    I have assigned the thread to our subject matter experts.

  • Hi ,

    What is the highest C++ version supported with SDK version 8.5. ?

    The CCS version 12.1 is supported with MCU_PLUS_SDK 08.05 release. Here is the link to C++ version used in the CCS (which uses TI-ARM-CLANG compiler).

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/code-composer-studio-group/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/740736/faq-compiler-which-c-standard-is-supported

    What is a reasonable boot-time on AM243x ? I know this depends on the application, flash and so on...
    However I just need an example of what is expected boot time.

    We have a data based on experimental purpose. Note the boot from Reset Release to SBL is not captured in the given data.

  • Hi ,

    Regarding part 2 of your question:

    Is there a way to determine what is the input Voltage level of SoC from within the running application?

    The AM243x devices have dedicated voltage monitoring (VMON) pins for key power rails. These are described in the device Datasheet (LINK).

  • Hello guys,

    thank you very much for your response. This is exactly what we needed.

    Have a nice day
