The MYD-AM335X Development Board designed by MYIR is a high-performance ARM Evaluation Module (EVM) using the MYC-AM335X CPU module as the core controller board. It is based on up to 1GHz Texas Instruments (TI) Sitara AM335x family of ARM Cortex-A8 Microprocessors (MPUs) that deliver high DMIPs at a low cost while also delivering optional 3D graphics acceleration and key peripherals. These TI Cortex-A8 MPUs include industrial interface options, such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS, and can support the Linux, Android and Windows CE high-level operating systems. The combination of graphics and connectivity support makes TI AM335x MPUs ideal for home automation, industrial automation, enterprise/educational tablets, portable navigation devices and networking. The board can work in harsh environment supporting -40 to +85 Celsius extended temperature operation for industrial embedded applications.

MYD-AM335X Development Board

The TI AM335x consists of 6 pin-pin compatible devices (AM3352, AM3354, AM3356, AM3357, AM3358 and AM3359) with various options including speed grades, packages, graphics and peripherals. MYIR is using the 15x15 mm, 0.8-mm ball pitch, ZCZ package AM335x ARM CPU on the MYC-AM335X CPU Module which is an SOM (System on Module) and has the core components AM335x processor, 512MB DDR3 SDRAM, 512MB Nand Flash and Gigabit Ethernet PHY chip on board and can be served as the core of your embedded system. It has two 2.0mm pitch 60-pin male expansion connectors, one 2.0mm pitch 26-pin interface and one 2.0mm pitch 10-pin interface to allow extension of all the controller signals and ports to the base board through headers and connectors, thus exposing more features of the AM335x Cortex-A8 Processors.

MYC-AM335X CPU Module

The MYD-AM335X base board has extended many features and peripherals with the support of the MYC-AM335X SOM and some extended controller chips including two serial ports, four USB Host ports, one USB OTG port, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one CAN, one RS485, one Micro SD, HDMI, LCD, Touch screen and more others.

User can integrate a different MYC-AM335X SOM on the same base board, thus making six variants of AM335x evaluation boards.
