MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X: SW Intergration from J6 to AM24x/AM64

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X

Due to resources constraints, how feasible it is to migrate SW from a J6 device to the newer Sitara devices? We know that HW configurations will change, but will driver for similar IPs remain the same? what other components will need to be changed? (at a high level)

    Hi Daviel,

    In comparison to Sitara device, the J6 (also AM57xx) not only has different architecture and IPs, it also uses different software development kit (SDK) as well.

    1. J6 (AM57xx) is using the PDK while the Sitara devices are using the MCU+ SDK. The PDK and MCU+ SDK are very different from software architecture to the device driver APIs

    2. The PDK is based on the TI RTOS while the MCU+ SDK are based on the FreeRTOS.

    3. The good news is that the MCU+ SDK is very easy to use in comparison to the PDK especially when you try to use more than one peripherals. Thanks to the integration of the SysCopnfig. Unfortunately, migrate the SW from J6 is not very straight forward.

    Best regards,

    Ming
