The TMDSIDK437X is an AM437x industrial development kit (IDK). It is an application development platform for evaluating industrial communication and control capabilities of Sitara AM4379 and AM4377 processors for industrial applications. The AM4379 and AM4377 processors are ideal for industrial communications, industrial control and industrial drives applications. The AM437x processors integrate a quad core programmable real time unit (PRU) that has been architected to implement real time communication technologies used in a broad range of industrial automation equipment. It enables low foot print designs with minimal external components and with best in class low power performance. It features programmable logic/automation controllers (PLC/PAC) with integrated industrial communications such as EtherCAT and feedback such as EnDat.
