Dear TI supporters,

Does the AM64x Evaluation Module (TMDS64GPEVM) support the secure boot or must be security board?

Thanks

Hi Thinh,
AM64x High Security (HS) device is required for secure boot.
The AM64x secure SDK along with AM64x HS EVM (installed with AM64x HS SoC) is currently scheduled to be available 4Q2021.

Hi Hong,

What is the difference between two device? SoC or Board, or both?

Let me more detail inform about 2 board, some difference between these device.

Thanks,

Hi Thinh,

AM64x High Security (HS) sample will be installed on AM64x HS EVM.
The main difference would be SoC itself, and AM64x HS EVM would be most likely the same as or similar to AM64x GP EVM.

You'll find useful information on TI Sitara High Security (HS) device from links below:
1. Sitara SoC security features:

Also some good reference on security in TIFS SYSFW...
