AM263x Motor Control SDK  09.02.00
Release Notes 09.02.00

Attention
Also refer to individual module pages for more details on each feature, unsupported features, important usage guidelines.
For release notes of Industrial Communications SDK and MCU+ SDK, please refer to AM263X Industrial Communications SDK Release Notes 09.02.00 and AM263X MCU+ SDK Release Notes 09.02.00 respectively.
Note
The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination.
Unless noted otherwise, the SW modules would work in both FreeRTOS and NORTOS environment.
Unless noted otherwise, the SW modules would work on any of the R5F's present on the SOC.
Unless noted otherwise, the SW modules would work on all supported EVMs
