AM571x Industrial Development Kit (IDK)
Evaluation Module (EVM) Hardware
1 Introduction
This document describes the hardware architecture of the AM571x Industrial Development Kit (IDK)
Evaluation Module (EVM) (Part# TMDXIDK571x) that supports the Texas Instruments Sitara™ ARM
®
Cortex
®
-A15 AM571x processor family.
1.1 Description
The AM571x IDK is a standalone test, development, and evaluation module that enables developers to
write software and develop hardware for industrial control and industrial communications applications. It
has been equipped with a TI AM5718 processor and a defined set of features to allow you to experience
industrial communication solutions using various serial or Ethernet based interfaces. Using standard
interfaces, the AM571x IDK may interface to other processors or systems and act as a communication
gateway or controller. In addition, it can directly operate as a standard remote I/O system or a sensor
connected to an industrial communication network.
The AM571x IDK contains embedded emulation circuitry to quickly enable developers to begin using this
IDK. The embedded emulation logic allows emulation and debug using standard development tools such
as the Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) by simply
connecting a USB cable to a Windows
®
-based computer.
The standard (4-port Ethernet) configuration for the AM571x IDK EVM provides the following functionality:
• Two Gigabit (1000Mb) metallic ports connected via PHY/RGMII to the on-chip Ethernet switch
• Two 100Mb metallic ports connected via PHY/MII to the PRU-ICSS subsystems
• LCD panel output from Display Parallel Interface (DPI) Video Output 1
Reconfiguration through header shunt removal provides an alternate 6-port Ethernet configuration:
• Two Gigabit (1000Mb) metallic ports connected via PHY/RGMII to the on-chip Ethernet switch
• Four 100Mb metallic ports connected via PHY/MII to the PRU-ICSS subsystems
Software support for the AM571x IDK EVM is provided within the Processor Software Development Kit
(SDK) package. This includes both Linux and RTOS support.
