To get started using a RM Hercules™ ARM® Cortex®-R Microcontroller (MCU):
From the LaunchPAD Quickstart Guide, the user can easily determine the correct Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Hardware Abstraction Layer Code Generator (HALCoGen™) GUI-based chip configuration tool for any selected Hercules MCU device(s).
The Hercules RM family also has TI BoosterPack™ plug-in modules available that fit on top of a LaunchPad development kit.
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all devices.Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix) (for example, xRM44L920). These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from engineering prototypes through fully qualified production devices.
Device development evolutionary flow:
x and P devices are shipped against the following disclaimer:
"Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
Production devices have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices have a greater failure rate than the standard production devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be used.
Figure 9-1 shows the numbering and symbol nomenclature for the RM44Lx20 devices.
TI offers an extensive line of tools and software for the Hercules™ Safety generation of MCUs including development tools to evaluate the performance of the processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug software and hardware modules.
The RM Hercules™ ARM® Cortex®-R Microcontrollers (MCUs) offer a variety of hardware platforms to help speed development. From low-cost LaunchPad™ development kits to full-featured application developer platforms, the Hercules RM MCUs provide a wide range of hardware development tools designed to aid development and get customers to market faster.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
