This user's guide is intended for software and hardware engineers developing applications for the Jacinto
6 high performance, multimedia application processor based on enhanced OMAP™ architecture
implemented with 28-nm technology. It describes the EVM CPU board's hardware, firmware and software
functions supplied by Texas Instruments Inc.
The schematics mentioned in this document can be downloaded from the CPU EVM Schematic Rev H
(SPRR210).

Introduction
To allow scalability and re-use across DRA74x and DRA75x "Jacinto" Infotaiment System-on-Chips
(SoCs), it is based on "Jacinto 6 Ex" DRA75x SoC that incorporates a heterogeneous, scalable
architecture that includes a mix of two ARM
Processing Subsystems, each with two ARM Cortex-Microprocessors, two Digital Signal Processors (DSP
C66x), a Vision AccelerationPac including two Embedded Vision Engines (EVEs), 2D and 3D-Graphic
Processing Units including Imagination Technologies
Image and Video Accelerator. Also it integrates a host of peripherals including multi-camera interfaces
(both parallel and serial) for LVDS-based surround view systems, displays, CAN and GigB Ethernet AVB.
The main CPU board integrates these key peripherals such as Ethernet or HDMI, while the infotainment
application daughter board (JAMR3) and LCD/TS daughter board will complement the CPU board to
deliver complete system to jump start your evaluation and application development.

Overview
An EVM system is comprised of a CPU board with one or more application board(s). The CPU board
(shown in
Figure
1) can be used standalone for software debug and development. Each EVM system has
been designed to enable customers to evaluate the Processor performance and flexibility in the following
targeted markets:
•
Automotive Infotainment applications
•
Automotive Vision applications
•
Emerging End Equipment applications
The CPU board contains the (Jacinto 6/TDA2x) applications processor, a companion Power Management
IC (TPS659039), Audio Codec (TLV320AIC3106), DDR3 DRAM, four different Flash memories (QSPI,
eMMC, NAND and NOR), a multitude of interface ports and expansion connectors. The board provides
additional support components that provide software debugging, signal routing and configuration controls
that would not be needed in a final product. Different version CPU boards will be built to support the
development process that include:
•
Socketed processor used for wakeup, early software development, quick and easy chip revision
evaluation
•
Soldered-down processor used for high performance Use Cases and evaluations
All other components on-board are soldered-down.
