2.3 Confirming Pin Multiplexing Compatibility

The processor contains a number of peripheral interfaces. To optimize size, pin count, package cost while maintaining maximum functionality, many of the device pads (pins) can multiplex up to eight signal functions. Thus, not all peripheral interface instances can be used simultaneously.

Texas Instruments has developed SysConfig-PinMux Tool that helps a system designer select the appropriate function using pin-multiplexing configuration too for their AM65x based system design.

Note: The pinmux configuration generated using SysConfig-PinMux Tool for the design should be saved along with other design documentation.
