AM437x PoM

The AM437x Product on Module (AM437x PoM) from Mistral is a low cost, small footprint, high performance; easy-to-use AM437x development platform or AM437x IDK built around the powerful 800MHz/ 1GHz Sitara AM437x SoC from Texas Instruments.

With extensive integration such as quad core PRU-ICSS, PowerVR SGX 3D acceleration core, dual camera, QSPI-NOR, up to 512KB on-chip memory, Dual ADC and an easily extendable architecture, this AM437x PoM (AM437x IDK or AM437x EVM) is the ideal AM437x development platform / AM437x Starter Kit / AM437x IDK (Industrial Development Kit) for quick  industrial product deployment while leveraging the benefits of the powerful  Sitara SoC.

The AM437x PoM or AM437x IDK is an ideal platform for developing a wide range  of industrial, home automation and medical applications.

Features

The AM437X Product on Module (AM437x PoM) is an ideal AM437x EVM or AM437x IDK  that supports high performance interfaces such as 2x Gigabit Ethernet, 2 x 8/10-Bit Parallel Camera, 24-Bit RGB display and 32-Bit DDR3L. The low power AM437x development platform or AM437x IDK uses +5V DC or can also be USB powered.

AM437x Application Board

The AM437x Application Board from Mistral is a four layer Add-on Module for AM437x Product on Module (AM437x Starter kit) built for the ARM-Cortex A9 Sitara AM437x SoC from Texas Instruments. The AM437x Application Board interfaces with PoM through its expansion connectors and provides general purpose 7” LCD with capacitive touch screen along with keypad and sensors like Ambient light (ALS), Temperature, Accelerometer. The AM437x Application Board along with the AM437x PoM works like an AM437x IDK. It supports Industrial interfaces such as RS485, CAN/Profibus, Ether CAT, Dual motor control, Endat/eQEP encoders and ADC for motor current sensing. It also supports ZigBee communication using TI’s CC2530 ZigBee module interfaced externally via its expansion connectors. The AM437x Application Board when connected with AM437x PoM forms the AM437x development platform or AM437x IDK that can be used for building products for Industrial Automation, Home Automation and Biometrics.
