Multicore DSP+ARM KeyStone II System-on-Chip (SoC)
SPRS835F—October 2013
2.2 ARM CorePac
The ARM CorePac of the TCI6636K2H integrates an ARM Cortex-A15 Cluster (4 ARM Cortex-A15 processors)
with additional logic for bus protocol conversion, emulation, interrupt handling, and debug related enhancements.
The ARM Cortex-A15 processor is an ARMv7A-compatible, dual-issue, out-of-order pipeline with integrated L1
caches. The implementation also supports advanced SIMDV2 (Neon technology) and VFPv4 (Vector Floating
Point) architecture extensions, security, virtualization, LPAE (Large Physical Address Extension), and
multiprocessing extensions. The quad core cluster includes a 4MB L2 cache and support for AMBA4 AXI and AXI
Coherence Extension (ACE) protocols.
2.3 Development Tools
2.3.1 Development Support
In case the customer would like to develop their own features and software on the TCI6636K2H device, TI offers an
extensive line of development tools for the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform, including tools to evaluate the
performance of the processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug
software and hardware modules. The tool's support documentation is electronically available within the Code
Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The following products support development of KeyStone devices:
• Software Development Tools:
– Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE), including Editor C/C++/Assembly
Code Generation, and Debug plus additional development tools
– Scalable, Real-Time Foundation Software (DSP/BIOS™), which provides the basic run-time target software
needed to support any DSP application
• Hardware Development Tools:
– Extended Development System (XDS™) Emulator (supports multiprocessor system debug)
– EVM (Evaluation Module)
2.3.2 Device Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all devices and
support tools. Each family member has one of two prefixes: X or [blank]. These prefixes represent evolutionary
stages of product development from engineering prototypes through fully qualified production devices/tools.
Device development evolutionary flow:
• X: Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical specifications
• [Blank]: Fully qualified production device
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
• X: Development-support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal qualification testing.
• [Blank]: Fully qualified development-support product
Experimental (X) and fully qualified [Blank] devices and development-support tools are shipped with the following
disclaimer:
Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes.
Fully qualified and production devices and development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality
and reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
