EVM Revisions and Assembly Variants

The various AM64x/AM243x GP EVM PCB design revisions, and asssembly variants are listed in the table below. Specific PCB revision is indicated in silkscreen on the PCB. Specific assembly variant is indicated with additional sticker label.

Table 1-1 AM64x/AM243x GP EVM PCB design revisions, and asssembly variants
PCB Revison Assembly Variant Revision and Assembly Variant Description
PROC101E2 N/A (single variant produced) First prototype, early release revision of the AM64x/AM243x GP EVM. Implements the Sitara™ AM6442 MPU.
PROC101A 001 First production release of the AM64x/AM243x GP EVM. Implements the Sitara™ AM6442 MPU.
PROC101A 002 First production release of the AM64x/AM243x GP EVM. Implements the Sitara™ AM2434 MCU in the ALV package.
Note: Throughout this document, the AM6442 and AM2434 devices are interchangable in diagrams and other tables, other than explicitly defined exception. The AM2434 MCU in the ALV package and the AM6442 MPU are footprint and pinout compatible and the PCB has been designed to accommodate both.
