SPRUJ66A February 2023 – December 2023
This technical user's guide is an excellent resource for those looking to develop applications with TI's AM62A Low-Power SK EVM. This low-cost Starter Kit is built around TI's AM62A AI Vision processor which includes an image signal processor (ISP) supporting 5MP@60FPS, 2 tera-operations-per-second (TOPS) AI Accelerator, Quad-Core 64-bit Arm®-Cortex® A53 microprocessor, Single-Core Arm Cortex-R5F, and H.264/H.265 video encode/decode. The SK-AM62A-LP is an ideal choice for those looking to develop smart camera, dashcam, machine vision camera, and automotive front camera applications.
The starter kit also includes both a MIPI CSI-2 camera connector for a single camera and additional expansion connector for up to 4 cameras, making it suitable for a variety of embedded vision and AI applications on the edge. For a variety of applications, TI's ISP can handle different lighting conditions in video streams by using HDR encoding and RBG-IR camera support. With the help of edge AI, Deep Learning on video streams like image classification and object detection have greatly improved performance on AM62A's AI accelerator. Therefore, giving significant improvement in frame rate, latency, and performance to allow offloading intensive processes from general purpose cores.
Furthermore, the starter kit supports Linux development with feature rich EdgeAI SDK. On-chip emulation logic allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools such as Code Composer Studio™ from TI.
This evaluation board is a pre-production release and has a few known issues that should not be copied into a production system.
