phyCORE-AM57x PRU-ICSS Application Guide - PHYTEC

The TI AM57x processor at the core of the phyCORE-AM57x features two dual-core Programmable Real-time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS). As a co-processor it can be used to offload various tasks. A couple examples of use cases are listed below:

• Low latency control of general purpose IO
• Emulation of interfaces (i.e. more UARTs than the host processor physically has available)
• Implementing high speed and real-time communication protocols like Ethernet or EtherCAT
