2 Overview

An EVM system is comprised of a CPU board with one or more application boards. The CPU board (see Figure 1) can be used as a stand-alone for software debug and development. Each EVM system is designed to let customers evaluate the processor performance and flexibility in the following targeted markets:

  • Automotive, radio sound processor (RSP), display audio, gateway, and infotainment applications
  • Automotive, ADAS applications

The CPU board contains the DRA71x, DRA79x, TDA2Ex-17, and AM570x (superset part) applications processor, a companion power solution (LP8733 and LP8732), DDR3 DRAM, several types of flash memories (QSPI, eMMC, NAND, and NOR), and interface ports and expansion connectors. The board provides additional support components that provide software debugging, signal routing, and configuration controls that are not needed in a final product. Different versions of the CPU boards will be built to support the development process that includes the following:

  • Socketed processor for wakeup, early software development, and quick and easy chip revision evaluation
  • Soldered-down processor for high-performance use cases and evaluations

All other onboard components are soldered-down.
