Beryllium Technology’s ARMxy series ARM industrial computers cover these commonly used Cortex A53 processor models, where the BL350 uses the TI AM6254, the BL360 series uses the i.MX8M Mini processor, and the BL370 uses the RK3562J processor. Below is a detailed comparison of the three classic quad-core Cortex-A53 processors: TI AM6254, i.MX8M Mini, and RK3562J, covering key dimensions such as architecture, performance, interfaces, and applicable scenarios.

2. Key Differences and Explanations
-
RK3562J Architecture:
-
No floating-point unit (FPU), real-time computing capability is lower than M4F.
-
Requires software optimization to achieve low-latency control.
-
4x Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M0, M0 core provides basic real-time performance (weaker than M4/M4F), suitable for simple real-time tasks (e.g., sensor polling).
Real-Time Performance Ranking:TI AM6254 (M4F+PRU) > i.MX8M Mini (M4) > RK3562J (M0)
-
PRU-ICSS (TI proprietary) supports nanosecond-level response, suitable for demanding scenarios like motor control.
-
The M0 core of RK3562J is only suitable for non-strict real-time tasks (e.g., data acquisition).
3. Recommended Application Scenarios
| Scenario | Recommended Processor | Reason |
|
High Real-Time Industrial Control |
TI AM6254 |
M4F+PRU-ICSS achieves microsecond-level response (e.g., PLC, servo drive) |
|
Medium Real-Time HMI + Multimedia |
i.MX8M Mini |
M4 core handles UI response, A53 runs Linux/Android |
|
Lightweight Real-Time + AI Edge Computing |
RK3562J |
M0 core processes sensor data, 1 TOPS NPU runs algorithms like face detection |
|
Ultra-Low Power Gateway |
TI AM6254 |
<3W power consumption + hardware-level energy efficiency optimization |
4. Summary
-
TI AM6254: Industrial real-time ceiling, but sacrifices AI and 4K video capabilities.
-
i.MX8M Mini: Balance of multimedia and real-time performance, suitable for automotive and interactive terminals.
-
RK3562J: Cost-effective + lightweight AI, M0 core is only suitable for non-demanding real-time scenarios (performance boundaries should be noted).
Selection Recommendations:
-
Strict real-time control → TI AM6254
-
Multimedia + medium real-time → i.MX8M Mini
-
Low-cost AI edge device → RK3562J (avoid complex real-time tasks)
