The first step during the board design
is to create a detailed block diagram. The block diagram should
include all major functional blocks, associated devices for
processor (Ex: PMIC) and attached devices, interfaces and illustrate
the IOs used for interconnecting the processor and attached
devices.
The following is a collection of
resources to support the block diagram creation process:
- The SK-AM64B (AM64B starter kit for
AM64x Sitara processors), TMDS64EVM (AM64x
evaluation module for Sitara processors), TMDS243EVM
(AM243x evaluation module for Arm Cortex-R5F-based
MCUs) and any other available EVMs are a good source
to start with the design.
- The
TI.com links referred to below provide
device-specific Functional Block Diagrams, Data
Sheet, User's Guide, Errata, Application Notes,
design considerations, and other related information
for various applications. The design and development
section includes EVM information, design tools,
simulation models and software. As part of support
and training, links to commonly applicable E2E threads and FAQs are
available.
