AM62x MCU+ SDK  10.00.00
Release Notes 08.06.00

Attention
Also refer to individual module pages for more details on each feature, unsupported features, important usage guidelines.
Note
The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination.
Unless explicitly noted otherwise, the SW modules would work in both FreeRTOS and no-RTOS environment.

Device and Validation Information

SOC Supported CPUs EVM Host PC
AM62x M4F, R5F AM62x SK EVM (referred to as am62x-sk in code), AM62x SK LP EVM (referred to as am62x-sk-lp in code) Windows 10 64b or Ubuntu 18.04 64b

Features Added in This Release

Attention
DeepSleep low power mode (LPM) is not supported if the DM R5 is used for a general purpose application. This is because when the SoC goes to any LPM, the context of peripherals used by DM R5 will be lost. To use DM R5 for a general purpose application, disable LPM support. Refer Disabling low power mode to know how to disable LPM.
