MarsBoard AM335X Package A includes:

• MarsBoard AM335X (CPU module + base board)
• AM335X Adapter for Arduino (Connects the MarsBoard AM335X and Arduino)
• Accessory Shield (0.96inch OLED, RTC, accelerometer, temperature sensor, etc.)
• Analog Test Shield (AD acquisition & DA output test)

MarsBoard AM335X Overview

The MarsBoard AM335X is a flexible designed development board powered by the TI Cortex-A8 processor AM335X. It consists of CM-AM335X and SIM-AM335X, both of which are in pretty cool BLACK color.

The CM-AM335 is a CPU module based on AM335X, features 512MB DDR3, 4GB Nand Flash, power management chip TPS65910, Ethernet PHY LAN8710A, and all the unused pins of AM335X are accessible on the two 2 x 50PIN expansion headers.

The SIM-AM335X is a base board/evaluation board designed for the CPU module, features TDA19988 HDMI Transmitter, CP2102 USB TO UART converter, HDMI interface, 10/100M Ethernet, USB-DEBUG, USB-OTG, USB-HOST, and TF card slot.

MarsBoard AM335X supports multi operating systems, provides an easy way for rapid product prototyping. What's more, the CPU module is separable and can be integrated into final product directly, this will greatly save your product development time.
