SPRUI97E May 2017 – September 2025 AM5716 , AM5718
Each of the AM571x IDK EVMs has a unique serial number. This serial number is printed on a sticker attached to the IDK and it is programmed into a SEEPROM memory device connected to the AM5718 processor over the I2C bus. The SEEPROM also contains board details such as board type, version, configuration, and so on. This information is stored in a structure at the beginning of the SEEPROM in a known format that can be read by the application software. These values are all stored with the first character or MSB stored at the lowest addressable location in each field. Table 2-3 lists all of the fields in this header definition.
| Name | Size (bytes) | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Header | 4 | MSB 0xEE3355AA LSB |
| Board Name | 8 | Name for board in ASCII “AM571IDK” = AM571x Industrial Development Kit EVM. |
| Version | 4 | Hardware version code for board in ASCII “1.3A” = revision 01.3A |
| Serial Number | 12 | Serial number of the board.
This is a 12-character string that is: WWYY4P52nnnn, where WW = 2
digit week of the year of production, YY = 2 digit year of
production, nnnn = incrementing board number. |
| Configuration Option | 32 | Codes to show the configuration setup on this board. Reserved. |
| Ethernet MAC Address #0 | 6 | Ethernet MAC Address #0 assigned to the AM571x IDK EVM. This is the first of a block of addresses available for the Industrial Interface ports. |
| Ethernet MAC Address #5 | 6 | Ethernet MAC Address #5 assigned to the AM571x IDK EVM. This is the last of a block of 6 contiguous addresses available for the industrial interface ports. |
