Diva Texas Instruments AM335x CPU moduleEdit

DIVA is a CPU module based on Texas Instruments "Sitara" AM335x Cortex-A8 application processor. It is built with SO-DIMM 204 pin form factor and it offers lots of graphics, processing, peripherals and industrial interface options, allowing customer to implement cost-effective designs. The Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) adds further flexibility and enables additional peripherals interfaces and real-time protocols such us EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, Ethernet Powerlink.

Main FeaturesEdit

• Texas Instruments "Sitara" AM335x Cortex-A8 processors family
• Lite Line - ARM Cortex-A8 architecture @ up to 1000 MHz
• NEON Multimedia Coprocessor and PowerVR® SGX Graphics Engine
• Dual Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS)
• Crypto Hardware Accelerator (AES, SHA, PKA, RNG)
• SO-DIMM 204-pin form factor
• Rich interfaces set including Dual CAN and Ethernet
