TI AM69 / AM69A
The AM69A (J784S4 family) is TI’s top vision AI processor. It has eight Cortex-A72 cores and four C7x/MMAv2 deep-learning accelerators for up to 32 TOPS, and an ISP for up to 12 cameras. Its integrated Ethernet switch supports up to eight external ports, two of them at up to 10 Gbit/s. The AM69 is the general-purpose version. Both run on the SK-AM69 starter kit.
