2.1. Release Notes
2.1.1. Overview
The Processor Software Development Kit (Processor SDK) is a unified software platform for TI embedded processors providing easy setup and fast out-of-the-box access to benchmarks and demos. All releases of Processor SDK are consistent across TI’s broad portfolio, allowing developers to seamlessly reuse and develop software across devices. Developing a scalable platform solutions has never been easier than with the Processor SDK and TI’s embedded processor solutions.
To simplify the end user experience, Processor SDK Linux AM62A installer provides everything needed as discussed below to create the embedded system from “scratch” :
Platform/board-support software and configuration files for Linux
U-Boot and Kernel sources and configuration files
An ARM cross-compiling toolchain as well as other host binaries and components
A Yocto/OE compliant filesystem and sources for example applications
A variety of scripts and Makefiles to automate certain tasks
Other components needed to build an embedded system that don’t fit neatly into one of the above buckets
Reference Examples, benchmarks
2.1.2. Licensing
Please refer to the software manifests, which outlines the licensing status for all packages included in this release. The manifest can be found on the SDK download page or in the installed directory as indicated below.

2.1.3. Release 11.01.07.05
Released on Aug 2025
2.1.3.1. What’s new
Processor SDK Linux AM62AX Release has following new features:
First 2025 LTS Reference Release Including RT combined branch model
Out-of-the-Box EdgeAI Gallery App powered by QT 6.9 for seamless AI experiences - Edge AI Gallery - User Guide
EdgeAI memory carveouts now supported via k3-am62a7-sk-edgeai.dtso in ti-linux-kernel & applied by default in the AM62A board environment via the name_overlays variable in ti-u-boot as seen in board/ti/am62ax/am62ax.env - FAQ - EdgeAI memory carveouts
Support for SELinux via meta-selinux with tisdk-edgeai-image - Building the SELinux image with Yocto and SELinux oeconfig file
EdgeAI DM R5 (
dm_edgeai_mcu1_0_release_strip.out) & C7x IPC (dsp_edgeai_c7x_1_release_strip.out) firmwares delivered via ti-linux-firmware v11.01.07Linux Remoteproc driver now boots remote cores (MCU R5 & C7x) by default during Linux kernel boot time to support Low Power Mode (LPM) with EdgeAI firmwares.
Simplified the Yocto build process for
tisdk-edgeai-imageby eliminating the unnecessary edgeai branding step - Building the SDK with YoctoEdgeAI DM R5 & C7x firmwares now default to remote endpoint 14 for consistency across Sitara AM6x platforms with Linux RPMsg userspace application - IPC for AM62ax
Support for suspend/resume of C7x in Edge AI Stack (currently context for VPAC and TIDL is not saved)
Falcon mode through R5 SPL U-Boot Falcon Mode
- TIDL - TI Deep Learning Library
Module safety for TIDL
Added support for 6 dimensions in Transpose
Added support for several new operators: Unsqueeze, Acos, Atan, Cos, CosH, ELU, Neg, Tan, TanH, ScatterElements, SiLU
Enhanced broadcast capabilities for MatMul, Add & Mul operators
TIDL Host emulation supports runtime redirection of temporary buffers to a specified path (Instead of
/dev/shm)
- Imaging
Support for IMX728 camera sensor
Support for RGB color space
Support to access VPAC PSA signature data
Added support for YUV422I format
Multiple bug fixes w.r.t VPAC MSC and LDC subsystem
Important Bug Fixes on top of Processor SDK 10.01.00.05 Release
