This phyCORE-AM335x Hardware Manual has three sections. The first section describes the System on Module's design and functions. The second section describes the PHYTEC Carrier Board for the SOM. And the third section describes the GPIO Expansion Board that can connect to the Carrier Board.
1358.1 PCB revision of the phyCORE-AM335x SOM. 1.1 Introduction The phyCORE-AM335x is one of a series of PHYTEC System on Modules (SOMs) that can be populated with differ- ent controllers and, hence, offers various functions and configurations. PHYTEC supports a variety of 8-/16- and 32-bit controllers in two ways: 1.
Part I: PCM-051/phyCORE-AM335x System on Module 1.9.4 Ethernet 2 The AM335x Ethernet2 port signals route directly off of the SOM. The PHYTEC Carrier Board connects these to a RGMII PHY. These signals can alternately connect to any industry-standard Ethernet PHY or be used for other purposes.
The MCASP interfaces support many audio formats including SPDIF, IEC60958-1, AES-3, TDM, I2S and similar formats. The McASP signals which are used on the Phytec Carrier Board are listed in the following Table 16.
The AM335x’s eight analog input signals, AIN[7:0], are routed to the primary phyCORE connector, X3. Some or all of these can be connected to a resistive touch panel on the Carrier Board. The Phytec Carrier Board connects four of these signals to a touch controller for a LCD. These signals are mapped as follows:...
2 Part II: PCM-953 / phyCORE-AM335x Carrier Board 2.1 The phyCORE-AM335x SOM on the phyCORE-AM335x Carrier Board PHYTEC phyCORE-AM335x Carrier Boards are equipped with all mechanical and electrical components necessary for the rapid start-up of the phyCORE-AM335x SOM. The phyCORE-AM335x Carrier Board is designed for evalua- tion, testing and prototyping of the phyCORE-AM335x in development environments prior to use in customer- designed applications.
This can be increased to the typical 120uF minimum required by the USB specifications for dedicated host devices if OTG mode is not required. On the PHYTEC Carrier Board, by default the USB0 port is configured as OTG, including having under 6.5uF capacitance on VBUS. It can be configured as a dedicated host instead by installing jumper JP10, to add 150uF additional capacitance to VBUS, and installing jumper JP12, to pull the ID signal low.
On the PHYTEC Carrier Board, the SPI0 interface connects to the GPIO Expansion Module and also to the LCD connector. The LCD connector is also on the SPI0_CS0 signal. If the LCD on the Carrier Board requires SPI, then the SPI Flash on the SOM should be disabled using SOM jumper J3.
The new concept intends the use of an adapter board (e.g. PHYTECs LCD display adapters LCD-014 and LCD-017) to attach a special display, or display family to the phyCORE. A new Phytec Display-Interface (PDI) was defined to connect the adapter board to the phyCORE-OMAP44xx Carrier Board.
Part II: PCM-953 / phyCORE-AM335x Carrier Board 2.1.2.19 WiFi (X27) A WiFi/Bluetooth module, such as the PHYTEC PCM-958, can connect to the Carrier Board’s pin header at X27. The WiFi connector and jumpers are shown in Figure 31 Figure 31: WiFi Connector The Carrier Board’s bus switches must be set to enable the WiFi interface signals.
The GPIO Expansion Connectors at X5 on the Carrier Board provide access to many of the phyCORE-AM335x SOM signals. As an accessory, a GPIO Expansion Board (part # PCM-957) is made available through PHYTEC to connect to the X5 GPIO Expansion Connectors. This Expansion Board provides a patch field for easy access to all of the signals and additional board space for testing and prototyping.
