Texas Instruments TMDSICE3359 Industrial Communications Engine (ICE)

Texas Instruments TMDSICE3359 AM3359 Industrial Communications Engine (ICE) is a development platform targeted for systems that specifically focus on the industrial communications capabilities of the Sitara AM335x ARM® Cortex™-A8 Processors. The AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 Processors integrate the Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU) that implements real-time communication technologies used in a broad range of industrial automation equipment. It enables small-footprint designs with minimal external components and low power performance.

The TMDSICE3359 AM3359 ICE measures 3.09" x 4.10" and offers a defined set of features to let the user experience specific industrial communication solutions using serial or Ethernet-based interfaces. It is not intended as a generic development platform, as some of the features and interfaces supplied by the AM3359 are not accessible from the ICE board. The ICE board may interface to other processors or systems using standard interfaces and act as a communication gateway. In addition, it can directly operate as a standard remote I/O system or simple sensor connected to an industrial communication network. The embedded emulation logic allows emulation and debugging using standard development tools, such as TI's Code Composer Studio, using the supplied USB cable.
