4.3 Code Migration From AM24

AM24 shares similar architecture and connectivity peripherals as AM263x. But, the control peripherals are completely different. Generally, programs related to connectivity can be migrated with little or none modification while those related to control peripherals must be updated for details in Technical Reference Manual of AM263x. As for SDK, every version is unique. But, APIs at Driver Porting Layer are almost identical for AM24 and AM263x. Difference can be found in SOC Specific Device Drivers.

Also note that there are differences in architecture and connectivity between AM24 and AM263x despite of their similarities. For example, AM24 offers more powerful support for Industry Ethernet, Gigabit Industrial Communication Subsystems, and more flexibility expansion of external memory, DDR4 Subsystem. In AM263x, there are features for 100-Megabit Industry Ethernet and 16bit/32bit parallel bus. Programs related to features like those must be redesigned for migration from AM24 to AM263x.

Another point is that AM24 R5F cores are up to 800 MHz while AM263x R5F cores are 400 MHz. During code migration, significant change on execution time must be expected and properly handled. It is critical to make sure the execution time stay within requirements. However, for traction inverters, given that both 400MHz and 800MHz cores are much higher than the classic MCUs, the execution time taken by either of them should not be a concern in most cases.
