6 Detailed Description
6.1 Description
AM570x Sitara ARM applications processors are built to meet the intense processing needs of the modern
embedded products.
AM570x devices bring high processing performance through the maximum flexibility of a fully integrated
mixed processor solution. The devices also combine programmable video processing with a highly
integrated peripheral set.
Programmability is provided by a single-core ARM Cortex-A15 RISC CPU with Neon™ extensions and TI
C66x VLIW floating-point DSP cores. The ARM processor lets developers keep control functions separate
from vision algorithms programmed on the DSP and coprocessors, thus reducing the complexity of the
system software.
Additionally, TI provides a complete set of development tools for the ARM and C66x DSP, including C
compilers, a DSP assembly optimizer to simplify programming and scheduling, and a debugging interface
for visibility into source code execution.
