AM62x MCU+ SDK  10.00.00
Release Notes 10.00.00

Attention
Also refer to individual module pages for more details on each feature, unsupported features, important usage guidelines.
Note
The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination.
Unless explicitly noted otherwise, the SW modules would work in both FreeRTOS and no-RTOS environment.

Device and Validation Information

SOC Supported CPUs EVM Host PC
AM62x M4F, R5F, A53 SK-AM62 (referred as am62x-sk in code), SK-AM62-LP (referred as am62x-sk-lp in code), SK-AM62-SIP (referred as am62x-sip-sk in code) Windows 10 64b or Ubuntu 22.04 64b

Features Added in This Release

Attention
DeepSleep low power mode (LPM) is not supported if the DM R5 is used for a general purpose application. This is because when the SoC goes to any LPM, the context of peripherals used by DM R5 will be lost. To use DM R5 for a general purpose application, disable LPM support. Refer Disabling low power mode to know how to disable LPM.
Feature Module
Bad block management support for OSPI NAND OSPI
A53 Drivers: ECAP, EPWM, EQEP, GPMC, Spinlock Drivers
GPIO default value can be configured in sysconfig GPIO
GPIO direction is set part of sysconfig generated code GPIO
FreeRTOS FAT is now supported with FreeRTOS File System
QoS support QoS
Early PLL driver in TIFS init updated to follow recommended sequence to avoid PLL instability TIFS
PM PLL and HSDIV programing in PLL init updated to remove steps violating the recommendation DM

Experimental Features

Attention
Features listed below are early versions and should be considered as "experimental".
Users can evaluate the feature, however the feature is not fully tested at TI side.
TI would not support these feature on public e2e.
Experimental features will be enabled with limited examples and SW modules.
Feature Module
A53 FreeRTOS support and A53 FreeRTOS examples DPL, FreeRTOS

Dependent Tools and Compiler Information

Attention
It is recommended to use the TIFS version provided with the release for ensuring compatibility between TIFS and device manager. Using the TIFS from different MCU+SDK release is not recomended and may cause TIFS/ DM functionality to break.
