Kit Overview

Texas Instruments new Sitara™ AM3517AM3517 based TMDSEVM3517TMDSEVM3517 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a standalone development tool, including a baseboard, applications board, and LCD. It is designed to provide multiple connectivity options to the AM3517 processor, with 256MB DDR2 and 512MB Flash on board. Developed with Logic, the AM3517 Evaluation Module (EVM) enables developers to immediately start evaluating AM35x processors (AM3517AM3517, AM3503) and begin building industrial applications such as single board computers, data terminals, point of sale/service, digital signage and numerous other products requiring high performance.

The AM3517 EVMAM3517 EVM Development Kit is a high-performance application development kit for evaluating the functionality of Texas Instrument new Sitara AM3517 ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessor and Logic PD’s System on Module (SOM).

The Zoom AM3517 EVM Development Kit includes the AM3517 SOM-M2, baseboard, application board, accessories, and software required to immediately begin development work. The AM3517 Evaluation Module (EVM) enables developers to immediately start evaluating AM35x processors (AM3517, AM3503) and begin building industrial applications such as single board computers, data terminals, point of sale/service, digital signage and numerous other products requiring high performance. Application development is performed right on the product-ready AM3517 SOM-M2 and software Board Support Packages (BSPs) included with the kit, which enables you to seamlessly transfer your application code and hardware into production. The included SOM provides easy evaluation of the AM3517 processor.

Key Applications: Single board computers, Data terminals, Point of sale/service, Digital signage.
