  7. 4Revision History

2.2.1 Processor

The AM5728 processor is the central processing unit for this IDK EVM. The interface circuitry, memory ICs, and connectors implemented on the board around the AM5728 processor provide development support for the many industrial communication interfaces available on this platform. See the AM572x Sitara Processors Silicon Revision 2.0 Data Manual (SPRS982) and the AM572x Sitara Processors Technical Reference Manual (SPRUHZ6) for details about the processor.

The AM572x IDK EVM contains system configuration for the boot mode control inputs SYSBOOT[15..0]. These can be strapped using resistors. The default configuration will meet the needs of most developers. Resistor reconfiguration is supported so that you can explore other boot configurations of the AM572x processor. See Section 2.4 for more details.
