AM3358: HOW to avoid GPL?

Part Number: AM3358

From Dowan KIM

 

Inquiry on TI Processor SDK (AM3358) — Technical Support Regarding GPL Dependency and Alternative BSP Options

 

Dear TI Support Team,

I am currently using the TI Processor SDK for AM3358 in a defense project, where the use of GPL-licensed code is strictly restricted due to project compliance requirements.

We would like to inquire about the scope of TI’s technical support for minimizing or replacing GPL dependencies within the Processor SDK. Specifically, I would like to confirm whether non-GPL alternatives—such as TI proprietary components, RTOS-based SDKs, or BSP packages that exclude GPL code—are available or supported for the AM3358 platform.

Our primary goal is to ensure that the software stack remains compliant with our licensing policies while maintaining full hardware functionality provided by TI’s reference SDK.

If available, please share any documentation, guidance, or recommendations related to:

  1. Identifying GPL components within the AM3358 SDK and possible ways to isolate or replace them

  2. Using TI-RTOS or bare-metal development options to avoid GPL dependencies

  3. TI’s official position or guidelines on GPL usage in Processor SDK for defense or security-related systems

Thank you very much for your support and for any detailed information you can provide on this matter

 

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Dowan KIM
