1.1 Before Getting Started With the Board Design

The processor family includes wide variety of peripherals and processing capabilities, not all of which will be used in every design. Consequently, the requirements for different designs using the same processor can vary widely depending on the target application. Board designers are expected to understand the requirements before selecting the processor and determining the board level implementation details. In addition, the board design may require additional circuitry to operate correctly in the target environment. Refer latest collaterals on TI.com including the device-specific data sheet, silicon errata, TRM and SK user's guide for selecting the processor and to determine the following:

  • Expected environmental conditions for the processor operation, target boot mode, storage type and interfaces
  • Processing (Performance) requirements for each of the cores in the selected processor
  • External or Integrated memory, External DDR memory type, speed, size that will be used
  • Processor peripherals used for the attached devices
