TI SK-AM62P-LP

The SK-AM62P-LP starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is built around the AM62P display processor, which includes scalable Arm® Cortex®-A53 performance and embedded features, such as triple high-definition display support, high-performance 3D-GPU, 4K video acceleration, and extensive peripherals. SK-AM62P-LP is for those looking to develop automotive and industrial applications, including automotive digital instrumentation, automotive displays, industrial HMI and more.

SK-AM62P-LP includes multiple display connectors that enable supporting up to 3 screens, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI®) CSI-2 camera connector, an M.2 connector for WiFi or Bluetooth modules, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, UART to USB circuit for debug output, and 2 temperature sensors for monitoring SoC and LPDDR4 thermal monitoring.

Features

  • Processing: AM625P with Quad 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 up to 1.4GHz, two ARM Cortex R5F single core up to 800MHz
  • Display: dual display support with up to 3840p x 1080p display resolution, One dual-channel LVDS and one MIPI-DSI 4L. One HDMI connector over DPI/RGB444 with audio codec TLV320AIC3106
  • M.2 key E interface support for Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® modules; two RJ-45 Ethernet 1000/100Mbps with TSN support
  • Connectivity: 1 Type-A USB 2.0, 1 Type-C dual-role device (DRD) USB 2.0 supports USB booting, onboard XDS110 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) emulator, 4 universal asynchronous receiver-transmitters (UARTs) via USB 2.0-B
  • Storage: 8GB LPDDR4; bootable interfaces on SK; removable microSD, USB, quad serial peripheral interface (QSPI), Ethernet, UART

NanoPi M5

Note:

  • Currently, booting is only supported from SD Card or NVMe.
  • UFS is available only as external storage, but support for UFS boot will be added soon.
  • To enable booting from NVMe, the bootloader must be installed on SPI NOR using either armbian-install or rkdeveloptool.

Radxa NIO 12L

How to install

Radxa-Nio-12L uses EFI Boot via Grub with DeviceTree. To make use of it follow this Guide from Collabora to flash Uboot onto the UFS storage. Then you can flash one of the provided images onto a SD Card and power on the SBC which will automatically boot into Armbian. Keep in mind the Boot order has UFS at first place so you need to erase any OS you have on on UFS to boot from a SD Card.

Q&A for Genio-Family:

  • Can I boot from UFS?
    • Regarding Armbian this is currently not possible as we cannot utilize 4096 sector sizes for our partitions. Follow this issue to see what the current status is.
  • Can I make use of UFS as a Data Partition inside of Linux?
    • Yes.
  • Which kernels are available?
    • We’re making use of Collabora’s mediatek-next branch which is based on mainline Linux.
    • There is also a highly experimental BSP branch from Canonical’s Ubuntu on Genio available. This one is lacking support for various important features like GPU acceleration on Desktop and therefore is meant for developers only.
  • XYZ is not working.
    • Check this support matrix to see if that feature has been implemented already.

BeagleY-AI

BeagleY®-AI is a low-cost, open-source, community-supported development platform for developers and hobbyists in a familiar form-factor compatible with accessories available for other popular single board computers. Users benefit from BeagleBoard.org-provided Debian Linux software images with a built-in development environment and the ability to run artificial intelligence applications on a dedicated 4 TOPS co-processor along with real-time I/O tasks on a dedicated 800MHz microcontroller. BeagleY®-AI is designed to meet the needs of professional developers and classroom-environments alike being affordable and easy-to-use, while being open source hardware such that developers barriers are eliminated to how deep the lessons can go or how far you can take the design in practical applications.
