1.1 Introduction

The SKEVM allows the user to experience great dual display feature through HDMI® (over DPI) and LVDS, and industrial communication methods using serial, Ethernet, USB and other interfaces.

The SKEVM can be used for your display application(for example a HMI or control panel) with either a HDMI display or an external LVDS panel, up to 2K resolution. It's high performance (up to) Quad-A53 ARM cores at 1.4GHz, with rich industrial interfaces, offer control and communication capabilities for a wide ranges of applications, such as PLC, automation control and monitor/supervisor systems. In addition, SKEVM can communicate with other processors or systems, and act as a communication gateway. The embedded emulation logic allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools such as Code Composer Studio™ from TI.

This technical User’s Guide describes the hardware architecture of the AM62x SKEVM, a low cost Starter Kit built around the AM62x SoC. The AM62x processor comprises of a Quad-Core 64-bit Arm®-Cortex® A53 microprocessor, Single-core Arm Cortex-R5F MCU and an Arm Cortex-M4F MCU.

Note: This evaluation board is a pre-production release and has several known issues that must not be copied into a production system. E1 EVM Shown in product photos.
Note: The maximum length of the IO cables shall not exceed 3 meters.
