HDK Specifications
•
Board supply voltage: 5 V–12 V Vdc

Basic Operation
The HDK is designed to work with TI's Code Composer Studio and other third party ARM IDEs. The IDE
communicates with the board through the embedded emulator or an external JTAG emulator. To start,
follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install Hercules-specific software. This process will install
all of the necessary development tools, documentation and drivers.

Memory Map
The TMS570LS12 family of MCUs have a large byte addressable address space.
address space of a TMS570LS1227 microcontroller on the left with specific details of how each region is
used by the HDK on the right. By default, the internal memory sits at the beginning of the address space.
The SDRAM is mapped into CS0 space on the EMIF. CS[4:2] are used for synchronous memory for
example SRAM, NOR Flash, NAND Flash, and so forth.

Power Supply
The HDK board operates from a single +12 V external power supply connected to the main power input
(P1), a 2.5 mm, barrel-type plug. Internally, the +12 V input is converted into +1.2 V, +3.3 V and +5.0 V
using Texas Instruments swift voltage regulators and PTH power module. The +1.2 V supply is used for
the MCU core while the +3.3 V supply is used for the MCU's I/O buffers and other module on the board.
The +5.0 V supply is used for ADC power (second option) and USB VBUS.
There are multiple power test points on the HDK board. The three main test point pairs provide a
convenient mechanism to check the HDK's current for each supply.
