use cases. In addition, the extensive set of peripherals included in AM62x enables system-level connectivity,

such as: USB, MMC/SD, Camera interface, OSPI, CAN-FD and GPMC for parallel host interface to an external

ASIC/FPGA. The AM62x device also supports secure boot for IP protection with the built-in Hardware Security

Module (HSM) and employs advanced power management support for portable and power-sensitive applications
