Industrial Imaging
Applications Brief
Applications of the K2H and K2E platforms in
high-end imaging
TI’s K2E and K2H System-on-Chip (SoC)
platforms, based on the KeyStone II
multicore architecture, are 28-nm high-
performance platforms that deliver power-
efficient processing solutions for high-end
imaging applications. These devices are
the first to integrate ARM^® Cortex™-A15
MPCore™ processors with high-performance
TMS320C66x DSP cores, providing
heterogeneous processing at industry-low
power-consumption levels.
The integration of the Cortex-A15 pro­
cessors greatly reduces system cost and
design complexity by removing the need for
a high-end general-purpose processor. With
full support of SMP Linux™, the Cortex-A15
processors enable developers to quickly and
easily migrate existing software designs to the
low-power, high-performance K2E and K2H
platforms.

Many high-end imaging applications require
powerful real-time processing as well as the
need to run operating system and control
code. With the K2H platform, developers of
applications will have for the first time, a full

ARM-based Linux device integrated with the
industry’s highest-performing DSP cores in a
single power-efficient package that can deliver
up to 352 GMACS, 198 GFLOPS and 19,600
Dhrystone MIPS. Coupled with industry-best
development tools and multicore software
support for OpenMP^® and OpenCL™,
developers can easily parallelize code and run
it on the ARM or DSP cores and quickly create
code that scales across the different devices
within the K2H and K2E platforms, allowing for
the most cost- and power-efficient designs.
