• Customers can choose different CPU, memory, and external storage configurations based on their specific applications. The core board supports the TI AM5728 processor, which integrates two ARM Cortex-A15 processors, two floating-point DSP C66x™ Floating-Point VLIW DSPs @ 750MHz, and PRU-ICSS for various industrial protocols. It supports industrial-grade 1GB-4GB DDR3 memory and industrial-grade 4GB-16GB eMMC external storage, offering highly convenient expansion.
• The SOM-XM5728 core board supports multiple industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, and PROFIBUS, enabling easy bus control and industrial networking. It can implement more complex and higher-precision motion control interpolation algorithms using its dual C66x DSPs. Furthermore, it supports connecting to an FPGA via the GPMC bus to achieve more industrial control and image processing functionalities.
• With 8x McASP and dual C66x DSPs, the SOM-XM5728 core board can implement 16-channel or 32-channel audio processing and analysis algorithms for high-end applications, such as sound source localization, echo cancellation, and various other audio analysis and processing scenarios.
• It boasts powerful video encoding and decoding capabilities, supporting 1-channel 1080P60, 2-channel 720P60, or 4-channel 720P30 hardware video encoding/decoding, and H.265 software video decoding. For video processing, leveraging the powerful dual C66x DSPs, it can achieve complex image recognition, video analysis and recognition, real-time data analysis and processing, and other high-end AI applications.
• High-performance GPU, dual-core SGX544 3D accelerator and GC320 2D graphics acceleration engine, supporting OpenGL ES2.0.
• The SOM-XM5728 software SDK provides Linux 4.14.67 system and DSP RTOS system, supporting OpenCL, OpenMP, and SysLink IPC multi-core development. It offers methods and examples for inter-core communication between ARM and DSP, significantly reducing the development difficulty for high-speed signal processing, audio/video data analysis, and similar tasks.
• Compact size, only 86mm*60.5mm.
