The recommendation is to consider adding the required or applicable design notes for the processor, attached devices and other on-board devices to reduce errors during custom board design. The recommendation is to add the required design notes for the processor memory (Example: USB2.0 interface, Ethernet interface, Camera interface, Display (OLDI0) interface (AM625, AM623, AM625-Q1, AM625SIP) including eMMC, OSPI, SD card, SDIO and other used processor peripherals including USB, MCSPI, MCASP). The recommendation is to include notes to include custom board boot mode configurations, placement of series and parallel resistors, placement of decoupling and bulk capacitors.
The recommendation is to mark all differential signals, critical signals that can affect performance and specify the target impedance (as required). See the following examples:
