Kit Overview

The Texas Instruments AM3359 Industrial Development Kit (IDK)AM3359 Industrial Development Kit (IDK) is a full-featured application development platform for evaluating the capabilities and features of Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 Processors for industrial applications.

The AM335x ARM Processors are optimized for industrial communications, industrial control, and industrial drives applications. The AM335x processors integrate a broad range of industrial communication standards that work on Ethernet, CAN, and RS-485 physical layers.

The AM335x IDK EVM is a standalone test, development, and evaluation module system that enables developers to write software and develop hardware around an AM335x processor subsystem, and it is focused on industrial automation and motor control type of applications. The main elements of the AM335x subsystem are already available on the base board of the EVM which gives developers the basic resources needed for most general purpose type projects that encompass the AM335x as the main processor. Furthermore, additional, industrial type peripherals are built into the daughterboard of the EVM such as memory, sensors, Profibus, DCAN, Ethernet PHY, etc. so that prospective industrial systems can be modeled quickly without significant additional hardware resources.

Key Applications: The IDK hardware and included software is designed for industrial applications:

Industrial sensors and I/O units
Industrial communication gateways
Industrial drives with integrated communications and multi-axis motor control
Programmable logic/automation controllers (PLC/PAC) with integrated industrial communications such as PROFIBUS, CAN and Ethernet
