A comprehensive software environment, shown in Figure 4, from TI enables you to employ a heterogenous architecture and access the full potential of silicon performance without having to learn TI hardware or proprietary software. Abstracting hardware accelerators through production-quality drivers, while also providing interfaces to a high-level operating system on the MPU for application development using industry-standard application programming interfaces (APIs), enables faster software development. Lower-level software from TI automatically accelerates imaging, vision, deep learning and multimedia tasks to the correct hardware accelerators, making high-performance application programming easy.
