About the ConnectCore MP13 Features and functionality About the ConnectCore MP13 The Digi ConnectCore MP13 wireless SOM kit is a complete development platform for intelligent, connected and secure embedded products with a broad suite of tools and turnkey Linux software support.
The ConnectCore MP13 DVK cannot be guaranteed operation due to the radio link and so should not be used for interlocks in safety critical devices such as machines or automotive applications. The ConnectCore MP13 DVK has not been approved for use in (this list is not exhaustive): nuclear applications explosive or flammable atmospheres There are no user serviceable components inside the ConnectCore MP13 DVK.
Bottom view Note Serigraphy on the bottom side of the PCB is incorrect. Refer to schematics and CAD documentation for correct identification of the connectors.

Interfaces The following interfaces are available on the ConnectCore MP13: Power interfaces This section describes the ConnectCore MP13 power interfaces. DC-in jack connector The input voltage of the ConnectCore MP1 Development Board is 5V. This input power supply can be provided from two different connectors: DC-in power jack.
Close Reserved Debug interfaces JTAG The ConnectCore MP13 Development Board provides a Tag Connect footprint for accessing the STM32MP1 JTAG debug port. Additionally, a standard 10-pin, 1.27 mm pitch connector (J21) is available for accessing the JTAG interface: Signal name Description 3.3V power supply...

UART/RS-232/RS-485 RS-232 and RS-485 standards are supported on the ConnectCore MP13 Development Board, by sharing one CPU UART port (UART7). This means that only one of the two protocols can be use at a time. Selection between both is done through three three-position headers (J15, J16 and J17).
One CAN FD bus is available on the development board through connector J33 (CAN1). The pinout of this connector is as follows: Signal name Description 5V power supply CAN1_H CAN high line CAN1_L CAN low line You can connect 120Ω terminator resistors to the port by closing J32.

Mini PCI Express slot The ConnectCore MP13 Development Board provides a Mini PCI Express socket supporting USB and I2C connection to the ConnectCore MP13 module. A micro SIM socket is also connected to the Mini PCI Express slot. XBee socket One XBee socket is populated on the development board, supporting XBee Cellular modules.
SMA form factor in order to extend the number of antennas that can be used on the development board for either the on-module antenna path or any other RF path that could be used on a PCIe or XBee board. ConnectCore MP13 Development Board...
Electrical specification Supply voltages The ConnectCore MP13 Development Board has three supply inputs. Two of them power the whole system (ConnectCore MP13 Development Board plus the ConnectCore MP13 system-on-module) and the other one powers the RTC of the module when the main supply is not present. The following table...
The strategy Digi follows to clock the 10/100 MB PHY is to use a TTL clock from the MAC (CPU), instead of using an external crystal. The PHY input pin for the reference clock is XTAL1/CLKIN (pin 5). This pin is currently connected to pad D11 of the SOM, which corresponds to thePH11 pin of the CPU.
0-ohm resistor (R283) to SPI4_IRQ_N. That is why the net changes its name. Figure 6. Multiplexing options of CPU pin PA11, where ETH2_CLK output reference clock for 10/100 MB PHY is available (AF13). To fix this connection, follow these steps: ConnectCore MP13 Development Board...

Figure 8. Fix connection at PCB level. Note One downside to this patch is that SPI4_IRQ_N pin won’t be available at connector J42; however you can use any other GPIO available at connector J41 for this purpose. ConnectCore MP13 Development Board...
