1.1.1 Sitara MCU+ Academy
Texas Instruments offers the
on supported devices. The MCU+ Academy features easy-to-use training modules that range from the basics of
getting started to advanced development topics.
1.1.2 If You Need Assistance
If you have any feedback or questions, support for the Sitara AM2x MCUs and the AM2x EVM Industrial
Ethernet PHY Add-on Board development kit is provided by the TI Product Information Center (PIC) and the
TI E2E
™
Forum. Contact information for the PIC can be found on the
information can be found in
1.1 Introduction
The AM2x EVM Industrial Ethernet PHY Add-on Board was developed to enable additional Ethernet peripheral
support on AM2x EVMs and allow for rapid prototyping of the core SoC for Industrial Ethernet applications. This
User Guide details the design of the add-on board and how to properly use the interface. The User Guide also
details many important aspects of the board including, but not limited to pin header descriptions, test points, and
signal routing.
1.2 Kit Contents
The Sitara AM2x EVM Industrial Ethernet PHY Add-on Board kit contains the following items:
•
DP83826-EVM-AM2 Industrial Ethernet PHY Add-on Board
Not included:
•
Sitara AM2x EVM
DP83826-EVM-AM2 can be available as a virtual bundle with select Sitara AM2x EVMs. Visit the EVM
product page (DP83826-EVM-AM2) for more information.
1.3 Device Information
The DP83826 offers low and deterministic latency, low power and supports 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX Ethernet
protocols to meet stringent requirements in real-time industrial Ethernet systems. The device includes hardware
bootstraps to achieve fast link-up time, fast link-drop detection modes and dedicated reference CLKOUT to clock
synchronize other modules on the systems.
The two configurable modes are BASIC standard Ethernet mode that uses a common Ethernet pinout, and
ENHANCED Ethernet mode which supports standard Ethernet mode and multiple industrial Ethernet fieldbus
applications with the additional features and hardware bootstraps configuration.
