Read This First About This Manual This document describes the board level operations of the TMS570LS04 Hercules™ Development Kit (HDK). The HDK is based on the Texas Instruments TMS570LS0432 Microcontroller. The TMS570LS04 HDK is a table top card that allows engineers and software developers to evaluate certain characteristics of the TMS570LS0432 microcontroller to determine if the microcontroller meets the designer application requirements.
The TMS570LS0432 HDK is a low cost and easy to use hardware and software platform for evaluating the functionality of the Texas Instruments TMS570LS0432 microcontroller family. Project collateral, schematics and PCB layouts discussed in this application report can be downloaded from the following URL: (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS570LS04x_HDK_Kit).
CAN1 CAN2 Figure 1-1. TMS570LS04 HDK Board Block Diagram TMS570LS04 HDK Contents The kit contains everything needed to develop and run applications for TMS570LS04 microcontrollers including: • Cables and Accessories: – 12 V power supply with power adapters for US, or Europe –...
(P1), a 2.5 MM, barrel-type plug. Internally, the power input is converted into +1.2 V, +3.3 V using Texas Instruments voltage regulators. 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 component on the board.
Board Layout The TMS570LS04 HDK board a 4.9 x 4.3 inch (125 x 109 mm.) six layer printed circuit board that is powered by either +5 V USB power from an external +5 V to +12 V only power supply or by USB VBUS.
Connectors The HDK board has ten interfaces to various peripherals. These interfaces are described in Table 2-1. TMS570LS 0432 Figure 2-2. Connectors on TMS570LS04 HDK Table Table 2-1. Connectors on HDK Board Connector Size Function 3, 2,54mm DCAN1 3, 2.54mm DCAN2 10x2, 2.54mm...
LEDs The TMS570LS04 HDK board has fourteen (14) LEDs. Four of them are under user control. Those LEDs are controlled and programmed by GIO signals. LED DS2, DS3, DS4, and DS5 indicate the presence of the power (+1.2 V, +5 V, 3.3 V, and 12 V) on the board.
MCU. By default this detection will trigger the Error Signaling Module (ESM) to drive the nERROR pin. On TMS570LS04 HDK, the red LED will then light. The error can be cleared by the nPORRST (S3), cycling the power to the MCU or via safety software executed on the MCU.
