Figure 1. phyCORE-AM64xx SOM The phyCORE-AM64xx belongs to PHYTEC’s phyCORE System on Module family. The phyCORE boards integrate all core elements of a microprocessor system on a single module and are designed in a manner that ensures their easy expansion and embedding in peripheral hardware developments.
5-pin connector that mates with the PHYTEC Carrier board. Finally, the fan is secured to the heatsink with screws. The PHYTEC Carrier Board supplies 5V power to the fan via the DF13-4P-1.25V(75) connector.

VDD_3V3_OUT (found on pins B1/B2 at the phyCORE-Connector) or 10kΩ pull-down resistors to override the SOM settings. For startup/verification testing, PHYTEC recommends designing the boot configuration circuit to include a DIP switch. This will make it easy to swap between various boot modes (an example circuit is shown below). This DIP switch can then be de-populated for production.
PHY if necessary. Refer to the DP83867IRRGZ datasheet for further details on these configuration and strapping options (DP83867IRRGZ Datasheet). NOTE: Adjusting strapping options and PHY registers is not necessary when using PHYTEC provided BSPs.

X_SERDES0_REFCLK0_N. The external clock must be a high-quality, low-jitter differential 100MHz clock source compliant to the PCIe REFCLK AC specifications. We recommend using the PI6C557-03 clock generator, which is implemented on the PHYTEC carrier board. A PCIe reference circuit is shown in section 7.5.3 PCIe Reference Circuits.
UART0 is the default console and as such PHYTEC recommends bringing out UART0 for console access. More information on using it as a debug console is provided in section 10.3...
The phyCORE-AM64xx SOM can also be communicated with using UART0 for downloading program code into the internal RAM or for debugging programs currently executing. UART0 is the default console and as such PHYTEC recommends bringing out UART0 for console access. The UART0 interface is accessible via the phyCORE-Connector.
12.3 In-Field Updates It is important that your system is designed so that firmware can be updated remotely in case there are issues "in the field." PHYTEC recommends choosing at least one or more of the following design features: •...
Instead, PHYTEC manages this at the SOM-level. PHYTEC ensures continued availability of pin- and function-compatible SOMs and SBCs, further minimizing maintenance costs and risks. This pro- active product lifecycle management (PLM) policy has enabled deployment of the same PHYTEC SOM in designs for over twenty years.
PHYTEC System on Modules (SOM) and Single Board Computers (SBC) are designed as subcomponents for integration in electrical devices. Combined with PHYTEC Carrier Boards, PHYTEC SOMs can be used as dedicated Evaluation Boards (i.e.: for use as a test and prototype platform for hardware/software development) in laboratory environments.
