1.3 Description
The DM505 is a highly optimized device for Vision Analytics and Machine Vision processing in Industrial
products such as drones, robots, forklifts, railroad and agriculture equipment. The Processor enables
sophisticated embedded vision processing integrating an optimal mix of real time performance, low power,
small form factor and camera processing for systems to interact in more intelligent, useful ways with the
physical world and the people in it.
The DM505 incorporates a heterogeneous, scalable architecture that includes a mix of TI’s fixed and
floating-point TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) generation cores, Vision AccelerationPac
(EVE), and dual-Cortex-M4 processors. The device allows low power designs to meet demanding
embedded system budgets without sacrificing real-time processing performance to enable small form
factor designs. The DM505 also integrates a host of peripherals including interfaces for multi-camera input
(both parallel and serial), display outputs, audio and serial I/O, CAN and GigB Ethernet AVB.
TI provides application specific hardware and software through our Design Network Partners and a
complete set of development tools for the Arm, and DSP, including C compilers with TI RTOS to
accelerate time to market.
