Hello E2E Experts,
Good day.
Hi,
Thanks for considering AM62A for your project. Please find Answers below
does CCS require a license to be used? If yes, how can I purchase it?
CCS is free to use , No Fees is needed for development & Deployment.
Please download different versions of CCS from here https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO , Let me know if you face any issues here
if yes, is it possible to share one license between two computers (not simultaneously), i.e. by means of a USB key?
this question is Not applicable
is the latest version of CCS for AM62A compatible with Mac OS (MacBook M1/M2)?
Please find the Latest version Link to macOS on-demand (web) installer for Code Composer Studio IDE (all features, devices) https://dr-download.ti.com/software-development/ide-configuration-compiler-or-debugger/MD-J1VdearkvK/12.3.0/ccs_installer_web_osx_12.3.0.00005.dmg
we would like to develop in bare-metal on both MPU and MCU. Do you see this as possible in principle? Do you provide SDK/BSP/RTOS for such a model, not only for the MCU domain
It would be useful if you could elaborate your requirement. Please explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve. can you help me with some block diagrams of solution or what software development and maintenance model you are trying to use. which cores which peripherals do you plan to use.
at this point I would like to point to Software build sheet which gives detailed info of which drivers are supported on which core. Please find software build sheet here : https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM62AX/08_06_00_18/exports/docs/build_sheet/am62a-sw-buildsheet.html
-is there available from you a Safety package (as per IEC-61508) applicable to this Sitara AM62A architecture? For MCU only or also for MPU?
I will need to get back on this question after confirming. Please allow me a day or two.
At the end I have a small request: Can you rename the thread to a more meaningful heading so that others can find the thread and read the same info I provided in case they have similar queries.
Regards
Anshu

Hello Anshu,
Good day.
Hi,
Please find my response below
Is there any software layer or library or (free or to be paid) reference sources you can provide as a starting point for us to write proper BSP and device drivers?
Please visit https://www.ti.com/product/AM62A3#software-development or https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62A
for downloading different SDK's which are currently supported , we have both Free RTOS(MCU+SDK on R5 Cores) and Linux SDK's Available. for application cores
In order to get started on the development please visit

We will evaluate if possible to do a port of FreeRTOS also for the MPU’s core (we have long term experience in porting RTOSs on custom hardware, on toolchain ports, assembly level programming, etc.).
My Guess is you are planning to Port Free RTOS for the Application cores, Please correct me if my understanding is not right.
For all those reasons, we’re going to use Linux for first trials, then we’re going to try to implement full bare-metal on AM62A
The MCU+SDK also contains No-Rtos examples
possible Safety Validation packages related the Sitara AM62A architecture
Please look at the Software Diagnostics Library (SDL) section of the MCU+SDK documentation.
Please let me know if all this info helps

Anshu
