Starterkit STKa335x

Arm® Cortex®-A8 (AM335X)

The Embedded Starterkit STKa335x is a specialized evaluation kit tailored for embedded computing engineers. It's centered around the TQMa335x platform and is powered by the Arm Cortex-A8 (AM335X) processor. This kit stands out with its real-time communication subsystem, making it ideal for applications with stringent timing requirements. It boasts low power consumption, typically around 2 watts, ensuring energy efficiency. With 2x IEEE1588 Ethernet interfaces, it supports precise time synchronization, and it offers long-term availability for consistent project support. The ARM Cortex-A8 core runs at up to 1 GHz and is particularly well-suited for high-volume projects with a focus on visualization and control tasks, thanks to its integrated interfaces and functions.
