AM35x Getting Started Guide
From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki
This Getting Started Guide (GSG) walks you through setting up a development system for the AM35x. You should proceed through this guide in the order listed on this page for best results. By the end of this Getting Started Guide you will have the AM35x EVM hardware set up, a Linux host development environment configured, and a Linux target booting to run some provided demonstration software. You will also have the Graphics SDK installed as well as run the provided Graphics SDK demonstration software. You should also bookmark the OMAP35x category since new articles will continue to appear here.
