AM2434: AM243x and AM64xx hardware and software

GR

Part Number: AM2434


Tool/software:

Hello,

I believe AM243x and AM64xx are same archtecture.

Could you answer my questions for our double check?

Question 1

The difference of between AM243x and AM64xx is only around ARM Cortex-A53 core.

Is this correct?

Question 2

Is there difference of each Isolated conectivity domain (ARM Cortex-M4F and few peripherals)?

Question 3

We can use compleatly same softeare that is for Isolated M4F core on each processor, And the SDKs(MCU+SDK for AM64x, MCU+SDK for AM243x) are same.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

GR

    Hello GR,

    The AM64x and AM243x devices share a very similar architecture, especially with respect to their MCU domain and reset isolation mechanisms.
    1. Core Architecture:
    • AM64x includes Cortex-A53 cores, R5F cores, and an M4F core.
    • AM243x has R5F cores and an M4F core, but does not have A53 cores.
    2. Reset Isolation:
    • The reset isolation architecture is identical between AM64x and AM243x.
    • When you isolate the M4F core, it becomes independent from the MAIN domain.
    • In AM64x, the MAIN domain contains A53 and R5F cores.
    • In AM243x, the MAIN domain contains only R5F cores.
    3. MCU+SDK Compatibility:
    • Both AM64x and AM243x use the same MCU+SDK.
    • AM64x SDK includes examples for the A53 core.
    • AM243x SDK does not include A53 examples (because it lacks A53).
    • The M4F core code in the SDK is compatible across both AM64x and AM243x, so M4F-based code written for one device will also work on the other.

    Regards,

    Anil.

    Hi Anil,

    Thanks for your information.
