====== Cortex-R5 BSP Development ======
TI's am64xx and am24xx CPUs include Cortex-R5 cores that can be used for real-time operating systems (RTOS) and real-time applications. We provide a customized FreeRTOS BSP for the Cortex-R5 cores which implements the basic functionality and provides a simple command line interface. 

===== Requirements and Installation on Windows =====
To flash, customize and build the BSP is done via the SysConfig Tool and the Code Composer Studio from TI.
In addition, the SDK for the AM64xx is required.

<callout type="warning" title="Access to tools">
A TI account might be required to access the downloads of the tools and SDK.
