AM/DM37x評估模塊(EVM)

Developed with Mistral, the AM/DM37x Evaluation Module (EVM) enables developers to immediately start evaluating AM37x or DM37x processors (DM3730, DM3725, AM3715, AM3703) and begin building solutions, including portable multimedia, portable data terminals, portable medical equipment, portable communications, home and building automation, navigation systems, test and measurement, smart displays and human machine interaction (HMI) industrial interfaces amongst many others.

The AM37x EVM is based on TI’s AM3715 applications processor. The Hynix memory is interfaced to the AM3715 processor via Package-On-Package technology. The Hynix PoP memory supports 2Gbit NAND flash and 2 Gbit Mobile DDR SDRAM. The DDR memory and NAND Flash are connected to SDRAM controller (SDRC) and General Purpose memory Controller (GPMC) interfaces of processor respectively.

It is also equipped with a 3.7” TFT LCD module. This LCD Module is interfaced to the Display subsystem (DSS) interface of the processor.

Analog Video outputs of EVM support both Composite TV (CVBS) output and Svideo output on the main board. The CVBS or S-Video Outputs are available on respective connector by default.
AM37x EVM supports multiple video input options through AM3715’s camera port.

Any one of the below interface shall be active at a given point of time.

1. S-Video Input, digitized through Video decoder (TVP5146PFP)

2. Composite Video Input through Video decoder (TVP5146PFP)

3. Component Video Input through Video decoder (TVP5146PFP)

4. Camera Interface – 26-Pin camera connector to support Micron Camera Module

5. Camera Interface – Provision for LI-3M02CM camera module

The EVM has a SD/MMC slot using SD/MMC1 interface on the main board. And the SD/MMC2 interface is routed to the expansion connector.

The EVM has a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface using an external MAC/PHY controller LAN 9220 which is interfaced to the AM3715 via the GPMC interface.

The EVM supports three UART (UART 1, 2 and 3) interfaces via two serial ports on the main board.

High Speed USB OTG interface is supported on the EVM Main Board via an onboard external USB transceiver.

High Speed USB HOST (USB2) interface is supported on the EVM Main Board via an onboard external USB transceiver.

One Stereo Line IN and Stereo Headset OUT audio interface is supported through the audio codec on the TPS65950 device. The audio codec on the power module is controlled by internal registers that can be accessed through high-speed I2C interface.

The EVM includes 11 status LEDs, 2 user DIP switches and 16 push button switches.It supports the standard 14-pin JTAG and ETM debug interfaces. The EVM is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio development, or standard GDB tool environments. For more details refer Getting Start Guide.

The EVM is powered by a +5V external power supply. The TPS65950 power anagement device provides the required CPU core voltages and IO voltages.

The EVM can also be powered using an external Lithium Ion/Polymer battery. (Battery not supplied with EVM). RTC is supported through a coin cell.
