TI AM67
- Processor (TI AM67A)
Quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 @1.4 GHz for running high-level operating systems such as Linux
Dual single-core ARM Cortex-R5F @800 MHz for running real-time MCU applications
Dual 2 TOPS (4 TOPS total) deep learning accelerators for running vision applications
Advanced 50 GFLOPS GPU for high-performance graphics processing
The TI AM67 platform integrates a dual‑domain architecture comprising:
High‑Performance Domain – Four Cortex‑A53 cores run a real‑time Linux operating system. These cores deliver the computational throughput required for intensive workloads such as image‑processing pipelines, computer‑vision algorithms, and other application‑level tasks.
Safety‑Critical Domain – Dedicated Cortex‑R5F cores execute NuttX, a deterministic, low‑latency RTOS optimized for hard real‑time control. This domain handles safety‑critical functions, including the autopilot control loop.
Warning
NuttX runs on the Cortex-R5F cores, loaded by U-Boot or Linux via RemoteProc, and relies on the bootloader / Linux Device Manager to have powered and clocked the peripherals it uses (NuttX does not yet run a TISCI client of its own). Support is a work in progress – please see the contributing documentation if you would like to help.
