The AM263x Control Card supports a 40 pin test automation header that allows an external controller to manipulate basic operations such as power down, PORz, warm reset, and bootmode control.
Figure 4-23 Test Automation HeaderThe Test Automation Circuit is powered by a dedicated 3.3 V power supply (VSYS_TA_3V3) that is generated by a 5 V to 3.3 V buck regulator (TPS62177DQCR).
The AM263x SoC I2C2 instance is connected to both the Test Automation Header and the bootmode IO expander (TCA6408ARGTR).
Table 4-14 details the Test Automation GPIO mapping:
| Signal Name | Description | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| TA_POWERDOWN | When logic low, disables the 3.3 V buck regulator (TPS62913RPUR) that is used in the first stage of DC/DC conversion | Output |
| TA_PORZn | When logic low, connects the PORz signal to ground due to the PMOS V_GS being less than zero creating a power on reset to the MAIN domain | Output |
| TA_RESETz | When logic low, connects the WARMRESETn signal to ground due to the PMOS V_GS being less than zero creating a warm reset to the MAIN domain | Output |
| TA_GPIO1 | When logic low, connects the INTn signal to ground due to the PMOS V_GS being less than zero creating an interrupt to the SoC | Output |
| TA_GPIO2 | When logic low, disables the 1.2 V buck regulator (TPS62913RPUR) | Output |
| TA_GPIO3 | When logic low, disables the bootmode buffer output enable | Output |
| TA_GPIO4 | Reset signal for Bootmode IO Expander (TCA6408ARGTR) | Output |
