Overview

The TMDS64 evaluation module (EVM) is a stand-alone test and development platform ideal for accelerating the prototype phase of your next design.  TMDS64EVM is equipped with a Sitara™ AM6442 processor, along with additional components that allow the user to make use of various device interfaces, including industrial Ethernet, standard Ethernet, peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe), fast serial interface (FSI) and others to easily create prototypes.
An onboard display makes use of AM64x serial peripheral interface (SPI) ports to provide the ability for local visual outputs in addition to the LEDs. Onboard current-measurement capabilities are available to monitor power consumption for power-conscious applications.

During custom board design, customers tend to reuse the SK design files and make edits to the design file. Alternatively customers reuse some of the common implementations including the SOC, memory and communication interfaces. Since the SK is expected to have additional functionalities, customers optimize the SK implementation to suit their board design requirements. While optimizing the SK schematics, errors get introduced into the custom design that could cause functional, performance or reliability issues. When optimizing customers have queries regarding the SK implementation resulting in design errors. Many of the optimization and design errors are common across designs. Based on the learnings and data sheet pin connectivity recommendations, comprehensive Design Notes (D-Note:), Review Notes (R-Note:) and Cad Notes (Cad Note:) have been added near each section of the SK schematic that customers could review and follow to minimize errors. Additional files as part of the design downloads have been included to support customer evaluation.

The TMDS64EVM is best suited for:

  • Linux and MCU+ SDK code development
  • 3-port Gigabit Ethernet with TSN support
  • PCIe support
  • Industrial communication Device & Controller support 
  • HSE (high speed extension) connector for advanced HW development.
