• Multicore Real‑Time Subsystems 2× PRU_ICSSG industrial communication subsystems with multiple RISC cores, supporting deterministic I/O and industrial Ethernet protocols including TSN, Profinet, EtherCAT and more (as implemented in PRU_ICSSG).
• Memory Subsystem Supports DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory types with a 16‑bit data bus and inline ECC; up to 2 MB on‑chip RAM with SECDED ECC for partitioning and reliability.
• Connectivity Multiple Ethernet interfaces (2× 10/100 Mbps and 2× 10/100/1000 Mbps), USB 3.1 (1 port), and CANbus for broad I/O and industrial networking options.
• Security Hardware security and cryptography features including 3DES, AES, ARM TrustZone®, secure boot, RSA, ECC, SHA‑1/2, MD5, DRBG and a random number generator for secure boot and trusted execution environments.
• Industrial‑Grade Reliability Package: 441‑FCBGA (17.2 × 17.2 mm) surface mount. Operating temperature range: −40 °C to 105 °C. Extensive ECC/SECDED protection across memories.
• SoC Services and Data Movement Includes device management and data movement subsystems (DMSC‑L, BCDMA, PKTDMA, SEC_PROXY, RINGACC) to centralize boot, security and optimized data transfer.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation — Real‑time control, motion and safety‑adjacent functions using Cortex‑R5F cores and PRU_ICSSG for deterministic I/O and industrial Ethernet.
• Industrial Networking & Gateways — Protocol bridging and time‑sensitive networking using integrated gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet ports together with PRU‑based industrial subsystems.
• Secure Embedded Systems — Systems requiring hardware‑enforced secure boot, cryptographic accelerators and TrustZone®‑based trusted execution.
• High‑Performance Embedded Compute — Application processing on dual Cortex‑A53 cores at up to 1.0 GHz with shared L2 cache and ECC‑protected caches and memories.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated multicore platform: Combines application, real‑time and microcontroller cores on a single device to reduce BOM and simplify partitioning of tasks across cores.
• Deterministic industrial I/O: PRU_ICSSG subsystems and Industrial Ethernet peripherals (IEPs) provide hardware resources for time stamping, TSN and low‑latency protocol handling.
• Robust memory and data integrity: On‑chip RAM with SECDED ECC, inline DDR ECC and ECC/Parity on caches and memories enhance system reliability in industrial environments.
• Comprehensive security: Hardware root‑of‑trust, secure boot, TrustZone® support and multiple crypto accelerators enable secure system designs and protected firmware deployment.
• Industrial temperature and package: Industrial grade operation from −40 °C to 105 °C in a compact 441‑FCBGA (17.2 × 17.2 mm) package suitable for surface‑mount assembly.
