Original question:

PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: What is different between "processor-sdk-09.01.00-config.txt" and "processor-sdk-09.01.00-legacy-config...

PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: Is the high-version processor-sdk-x-config.txt applicable to the am335x?

Tool/software:

I have found processor-sdk-kirkstone-09.02.01.09-config.txt  and some other xxx-config.txt，which version is newer than processor-sdk-09.01.00-legancy-config.txt. But in the release note not clearly indicated whether the AM335X series of processors is supported.

Through research, I found that AM62x, AM62Px, AM64x, AM62SIP, and AM62LP are all 64-bit processors, while the am335x is a 32-bit processor. It is uncertain whether the above high-version xxx-config.txt  are applicable to products with the am335x series of processors.  

In Addtion, I found the following instruction： While other confiqurations may allow successful builds too, this doesn't mean that those builds wil be full-featured or fully-functional, as this is not what is tested and qualified for release at Tl. 

But I still have some doubts. Will the SDK version updates（example SDK v9.2 or v9.3） release a separate config.txt for the AM335x processor specifically?

    Hello Ning,

    The team did not do any SDK 9.2 development for AM335x, so (without looking into it), I would expect that config would NOT apply to AM335x.

    I have seen some members of the development team refer to AM335x & AM437x software as "legacy", so that could be a clue that a config IS intended to apply to those parts. I am not familiar with Yocto, but if you give me a link to the file I can at least take a look at it.

    One note on the word "legacy" - we still support questions about AM335x hardware and software on the forums (assuming the software has been released in the past year or so). I think the developers just use "legacy" to indicate that they are no longer focused on adding new features to AM335x and are only creating one official software release each year, as opposed to all the 64 bit processors you listed above, where we are still adding new features with each software release, and creating multiple software releases per year.

    Regards,

    Nick
