Getting Started

Development typically begins with the BeagleBone Black or TI Sitara Evaluation Modules (EVMs). For software, TI provides the Processor SDK Linux which includes a long-term stable (LTS) kernel, bootloader, and filesystem. Hardware debugging is supported via the integrated JTAG interface using standard XDS-series emulators.
