      2. 3.1.2  Early versions of the AM571x IDK EVM not installed with SOC devices rated for the full industrial temperature range
      3. 3.1.3  AM571x IDK EVM does not support eMMC HS200 mode
      4. 3.1.4  PCIe PERSTn line not in proper state at start-up
      5. 3.1.5  EDIO connectors J4 and J7 should support real-time debugging for both PRU1 and PRU2
      6. 3.1.6  HDQ implementation not correct
      7. 3.1.7  Removing the power plug and inserting it again while the power supply is energized can cause damage
      8. 3.1.8  Software shutdown of PMIC not operational
      9. 3.1.9  CCS System Reset fails
      10. 3.1.10 AM571x IDK EVM design contains two clamp circuits that may not be necessary
      11. 3.1.11 Crystal connected to osc0 needs to have 50ppm or better long term accuracy
      12. 3.1.12 Software must program the CDCE913 for 0pf load capacitance

2.1.1 Processor

The AM5718 processor is the central processing unit for this IDK EVM. The interface circuitry, memory ICs, and connectors implemented on the board around the AM5718 processor provide development support for the many industrial communication interfaces available on this platform. See the AM571x Sitara Processors Silicon Revision 2.0 Data Manual (SPRS957) and the AM571x Sitara Processors Technical Reference Manual (SPRUHZ7) for details about the processor.

The AM571x 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 AM571x processor. See Section 2.3 for more details.
