The AM335x processor is still made by TI. We are able to get silicon wafers from TI and then package them together with DDR, power management and passives into a single BGA device that you can use. This makes design and manufacturing of custom embedded hardware easier and faster.

then you should say you are a SiP(system-in-package) maker, not a chip maker? the difference is huge.

Wow. I've started to become mildly interested in chip manufacturing tech, and the fact that you can do that is really amazing. I'm very curious how this actually works!
