Today, PHYTEC adds to its phyCORE® product line with the announcement of the phyCORE®-AM65x System on Module (SOM) based on Texas Instruments (TI) Sitara™ AM65x processors. The phyCORE®-AM65x module brings secure boot, multiprotocol gigabit industrial communication, graphics, functional safety features and time-sensitive-networking (TSN) to the phyCORE® family. The phyCORE®-AM65x SOM is ideal for industrial communication systems, factory automation, edge computing, grid infrastructure and applications where high reliability is needed. Utilize the quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 cores to run your application, the 6 Industrial PRU interfaces for time sensitive communication protocols and the isolated dual Cortex®-R5F cores for functional safety support. In conjunction with the launch of the phyCORE®-AM65x SOM, PHYTEC also introduced the phyCORE®-AM65x Rapid Development Kit – a new kit that helps customers get started on integrating PHYTEC hardware and software with customer software and product designs. With the launch of the phyCORE®-AM65x SOM and development kit, PHYTEC offers a complete line of high-quality, reliable and scalable products based on the Texas Instruments AM65x processors.
