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.
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.
The SDK is available as a Windows setup for download on the TI site:
