  • Hello Vrund,

     

    The different EVMs are available for our customers to evaluate different use cases.

    • If you need to evaluate secure boot, you would need to use the High Security EVM that you list down at the top. 
    • TMDSEVM437X https://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSEVM437X
    • But, before purchasing the EVM, you would need a special security NDA established with TI. You can submit the request and you will find this at the above link.

     

    • If you don't need to security right away, easy way is to get the Starter Kit (TMDXSK437X) which costs just $299.

     

    • TMDSIDK437X is designed to let our customer evaluate specific functions in motor control, factory automation.

     

    • TPS EVM you reference above is only for the TPS device..
    • The AM4x EVMs will have this device already but the TPS EVM will not have AM4x.

     

    Hope this clarifies the different options.

    Please also note that for a limited time, we do have a discount coupon for the AM4x above. You will see this code right on the tool page.

    Thanks
