Part Number: TDA4VM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , J721EXSOMXEVM, J721EXCPXEVM, PCM3168A, TPS25750, TCA9543A, CDCEL937-Q1, CDCI6214, DS90UH981-Q1, INA226, PCM3168A-Q1, DS90UB926Q-Q1

The goal of this thread is to help engineers differentiate between the SK-TDA4VM evaluation board and the J721E EVM (Evaluation Module).

After reading this FAQ you could answer the following questions:

What SDKs are supported in each EVM?

What are the hardware differences between the SK-TDA4VM and the J721E EVM?

What is the difference in I2C address mapping?

    The PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-SK-TDA4VM (a.k.a. Edge AI SDK) is an SDK for the low-cost board named as SK-TDA4VM. Compared to the other SDKs that run on J721E EVM and are tailored for automotive applications, the Edge AI SDK and SK-TDA4VM is tailored for rapid prototyping of industrial edge AI applications.

    More details such as driver differences for the SDK differences are documented in the Edge AI SDK: https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-linux-sk-tda4vm/08_01_00_02/exports/docs/faq.html

    The following table shows which SDK is currently supported on TDA4VM Starter Kit vs J721E EVM:
