A8 based microprocessor, which provides several of its key features. The SoM-3354M has an on-board Ethernet PHY, 4 serial ports, eMMC, USB Switch, SPI flash, and DDR3 SDRAM. In addition to these standard SoM features, the SoM-3354M also features a fast 32-bit core, hardware graphics accelerators, open source software support, and a wide range of controller IO pins.
The SoM-3354M connects to a carrier board containing its connectors, power supply and any expansion IO, through a standard gold-plated SODIMM 200-pin connection shown below. The use of the DDR SODIMM form-factor for EMAC’s SoMs is a sound choice that has been proven rugged and reliable in the laptop and embedded SBC markets.
2.2.4. Ethernet The SoM-3354M provides a Micrel KSZ8041 Ethernet 10/100 PHY IC on board. Carrier designers need only to run these lines through the appropriate magnetics layer to have a functional Ethernet connection. Remember, the RX and TX lines are differential pairs and need to be routed as such.
LED_LINK/CFG_2 ETH_LED1 Ethernet Link LED/Configuration pin LED_ACT/CFG_3 ETH_LED2 Ethernet Activity LED/Configuration pin 2.2.5. The 200-pin SoM specification calls for a two-wire I C port. The SoM-3354M has a native hardware I port. SODIMM Processor Port Description Pin# Pin Name Pin Name(s)
MII1_TXD2 2.2.8. IRQs The 200-pin SoM specification allocates three pins as IRQs. The AM3354 processor can use virtually any GPIO pin to trigger an interrupt. EMAC used the following GPIO lines for general purpose IRQs: SODIMM Processor Port Line SoM Description...
AudioA_DOUT MCASP0_AXR1 2.2.12. Serial Ports The 200-pin SoM specification has the provision for 4 serial ports. The AM3354 processor provides full modem handshaking for COMA. The SoM-3354M uses a Dual UART (TL16C2550IPFB) chip to provide additional serial ports. SODIMM Processor...
This section provides for the SoM general purpose IO section. All of these pins can be configured to be general-purpose digital ports. They can also be configured to take advantage of several alternate functions of the AM3354 processor. The SoM-3354M uses a GPIO Expander chip (MCP23S08-E/ML) to provide additional GPIO. SODIMM Processor...
10111 UART0/USB0 Boot from Serial/USB. The SoM-3354M is capable of booting out of Serial, Ethernet, SPI Flash, or USB. Booting from eMMC is only possible with a custom populated version. Contact EMAC for more details. Minimum purchase quantities apply. 2.2.17. Power Connections The SoM-3354M requires a 3.3V supply for the bus and I/O voltages.
3. Design Considerations One of the goals of the SoM-3354M is to provide a modular, flexible, and inexpensive solution capable of delivering high-end microcontroller performance. 3.1. The EMAC SoM Carrier-SoM-200ES EMAC provides an off the shelf carrier for the SoM-3354M module, the SoM-200ES, which provides power to the SoM module as well as wealth of peripheral I/O, including audio and LCD.
4. Software The SoM-3354M offers a wide variety of software support from both open source and proprietary sources. The hardware core was designed to be software compatible with the TI AM3354 reference design, which is supported by Linux.
