I'm going to start SW development for AM335x/AM437x. SW will be either TI-RTOS based or baremetal. What kind of resources are available to help my development?

Note that TI no longer provides support for TI-RTOS based or baremetal SW development for Sitara MPU devices (AM335x, AM437x, AMIC110, AMIC120, OMAP-L13x, C674x, K2G). That means we can no longer answer questions about TI-RTOS based or baremetal SW development on the forums. Reference the official notice for more information.
