AM5728: FIPS instruction set

Part Number: AM5728

Hello,

Can you let me know if the AM5728 process has similar FIPS instruction sets that the intel processors have? I didn’t see anything about it, but wanted to check.

Best,

Adam

  • Hi Adam,

    Regarding the supported instruction sets in AM572x device, refer to AM572x TRM. In brief, in AM572x device we have:

    1. Cortex-A15 ARM ARM MPCore. ARM Version 7 ISA: Standard ARM instruction set plus Thumb ® -2, Jazelle ® RCT JavaTM accelerator, hardware virtualization support, and large physical address extensions (LPAE). This is dual-core Arm ® Cortex ® -A15 RISC CPUs with Arm ® NeonTM extension. 

    RISC - Reduced Instruction Set Computing. A CPU whose instruction set and related decode mechanism are much simpler than those of microprogrammed complex instruction set computers. The result is a higher instruction throughput and a faster real–time interrupt service response from a smaller, cost-effective chip.  


    2. IPU Cortex-M4 ARM - Two Cortex-M4 CPUs, ARMv7E-M and Thumb-2 instruction set architectures


    3. C66x DSP - merges the C674x floating point and the C64x+ fixed-point instruction set architectures. The TMS320C66x Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is the latest for the C6000 family.


    Regarding AM57xx FIPS Certification, refer to below e2e thread:
