AM4377: Inquiry Regarding Processor Selection for Image Capture and Transmission Application

Part Number: AM4377

Our application involves a processor tasked with capturing images upon motion detection, validating human motion, storing the images in an SD card, transmitting them to another module via RF interface, and sending data to a server using an LTE module. Additionally, there is a requirement for a display module capable of listing and displaying these images.

We kindly request your assistance in providing detailed information regarding the capabilities of both Processors concerning the following criteria:

Image Capture and Processing:

Ability to capture images upon motion detection and validate human motion effectively.

Storage and Transmission:

Support for storing captured images in an SD card, transmitting them to another module via RF interface, and facilitating data transfer to a server using an LTE module.

*SDK Support:

Availability and functionalities of Software Development Kits (SDKs) for seamless integration and development.

Power Consumption:
Individual power consumption profiles for each module in relation to the aforementioned functionalities.

The power consumption includes “Motion sensors, IR sensors, Night vision sensor, RF Transceivers, Display and LTE Module”. What might be the maximum power and Current consumption criteria for above processors with the mentioned modules?

We seek comprehensive insights into these aspects to make an informed decision aligning with the specific needs of our application. Additionally, any technical documentation, support materials, or roadmap insights would be immensely valuable in our evaluation process.

  • Hello Aman,

    Thank you for reaching out about the AM437x processors. 

    Image Capture and Processing: You can use the Arm cores to run any analytics on the device, however for advanced analytics and image capture we recommend either the AM62x or AM62A processor. The AM62 and AM62A processors have CSI. The AM437X processors also has a camera interface thatoffers configuration for a single- or dual-camera parallel port.

    Storage and Transmission: The AM437x has support for MMC, SD, SDIO x3 and can connect to external LTE modules using the peripherals.

    SDK support: We have a Processor SDK that is available for AM437. Please see it here:  PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-AM437X 

    Power Consumption: Please see power consumption tool here: https://www.ti.com/tool/POWEREST

    For any additional information regarding roadmap, please reach out to your local TI field representative

    Best,

    Mahir Kaheri
