Release Information

Thank you for your interest in PROCESSOR SDK LINUX RT AM62A Software Development Kit (SDK) for edge AI applications.

The Yocto build environment based RT-Linux SDK for edge AI provides

  • Upstream RT-Linux LTS Kernel with peripheral drivers, U-Boot bootloader.
  • Pre-integrated firmware for hardware accelerated deep learning and camera ISP
  • GStreamer plugins and edge AI application stack

The SDK documentation provides simple steps to build, develop and run high performance deep learning applications using a live camera and display.

TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot

AM62A Snapshot

In order to improve access to the very latest bug fixes and feature enhancements, TI is enabling Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for AM62A processors. The patches for these changes have always been available on public repositories hosted on git.ti.com, and these source repositories could be built using the Yocto build environment on a daily basis. The new TI Linux CI/CD Snapshot makes it even easier to consume these changes with pre-built binaries of Linux boot images to try out on TI Evaluation Modules (EVMs and SKs) before migrating or picking the patches. A detailed test report is also published to help users understand the status of the build and features being validated. The Linux boot images from a snapshot can be regenerated using sources by following the build instructions provided on the snapshot page.

The daily snapshot is not a replacement for the official Processors SDK releases which have full documentation, training and support. The snapshot is a new easy way to try bug fixes and feature enhancements planned for the next SDK while enabling much more tighter integration with customizations and application development. This improved integration should allow users to release their customized code built  on the SDKs more quickly and confidently.
