Preface SPRUIJ9 – April 2018 Read This First About This Manual This document describes the hardware architecture of the AM574x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) Evaluation Module (EVM) (Part# TMDSIDK574IDK) that supports the Texas Instruments Sitara™ ARM ® Cortex -A15 AM574x processor family.
Ethernet based interfaces. Using standard interfaces, the AM574x IDK may interface to other processors or systems and act as a communication gateway or controller. In addition, it can directly operate as a standard remote I/O system or a sensor connected to an industrial communication network.
System View The system view of the AM574x IDK EVM consists of the main board and the camera board. There is also an optional LCD panel and touch screen assembly that can be attached to the AM574x IDK EVM.
Functional Description The AM574x IDK EVM is implemented on a single board with interface circuitry, memory ICs, and connectors around the AM5748 processor. The board also contains power conversion circuitry to efficiently create the needed power supply voltages from a single +5V input. As stated previously, this EVM ships with a separate camera module that plugs in to the main board.
PMIC. This initiates a re-start that drives RESET_OUT low and resets all voltages to their initial values. Since RESET_OUT from the PMIC is connected to PORz in the AM574x device, a hard reset is forced on the SOC that meets the needs of the erratum workaround.
This section describes how the power supplies required for the design are generated. Power Source The AM574x IDK EVM uses an external 5V power supply. The 5V power input is converted into different voltage levels to provide power inputs to the AM574x processor and other circuitry.
• R1Z-3.305HP Isolated DC-DC Supply: This converter generates 5.0V isolated from the primary 3.3V DC supply on board for the DCAN interface. Figure 6. Connections from the TPS6590379 PMIC to the AM574x Processor 1.15 V VDD_MPU PMIC 1.06 V...
The secondary boot device selected by this boot mode is QSPI1. I2C Address Assignments The AM574x IDK EVM contains multiple I2C buses connected to a master port on the processor. Each bus contains one or more I2C slave devices that must have unique addresses to prevent contention.
SEEPROM Header Each of the AM574x IDK EVMs has a unique serial number. This serial number is printed on a sticker attached to the IDK and it is programmed into a SEEPROM memory device connected to the AM5748 processor over the I2C bus. The SEEPROM also contains board details such as board type, version, configuration, and so on.
The SD/MMC connector on the AM574x IDK EVM is a MicroSD connector (part number SCHA5B0200). This is a standard SD/MMC card type of connector. It is connected to the MMC1 port of the AM574x processor that is optimized for this use. Refer to the AM574x Sitara Processors Silicon Revision 1.0 Data...
Ethernet Ports The AM574x IDK EVM supports up to four 100Mb Industrial Ethernet ports attached to the PRU-ICSS subsystems and up to two Gigabit (1000Mb) Ethernet ports connected to the integrated Ethernet switch. The final number of available ports depends on the configuration options. The default configuration provides two 100Mb Industrial Ethernet ports and two Gigabit (1000Mb) Ethernet ports.
The USB2.1 standard defines different ranges of capacitance for the VBUS pin depending on whether it is host or device. Since this port can do either, the AM574x IDK EVM provides the capability to meet either requirement. The VBUS pin from the connector contains a 4.7µF capacitor that is appropriate for device mode operation.
LCD panel display and HDMI video output. Camera The AM574x IDK EVM supports a camera daughterboard that attaches to a 24-pin (2 × 24) header, J9. The custom-designed camera module from TI, previously designed for the AM437x IDK EVM, mounts on this header.
Some signals of the AM5748 device are connected to a fixed device on the EVM where it cannot be changed. However, some of the signals of the AM5748 device are connected to devices on the AM574x IDK EVM based on the profile setting.

Power solution not sufficient for full PCIe plug-in card compliance The AM574x IDK EVM supports compatibility to PCIe x1 plug-in cards. It is not compliant with the PCIe Card Electro-Mechanical (CEM) specification. Specifically, the board does not provide the recommended power per the CEM.
The PMIC can enforce this start-up and also the shut-down sequence if the PMIC RESET_IN is driven low at least 1.1ms before the main supply to the PMIC collapses. However, the AM574x IDK EVM design does not contain a circuit for this. Please refer to the AM571 IDK EVM design (v1.3 or later) for an example of the required circuitry.
3.3V supply inputs must never be more than 2.0V above the VDDS18V supply, even during ramping up or ramping down. The AM574x IDK EVM design contains these clamp circuits on both V3_3D, that powers almost all VDDSHVx supplies, and VSDMMC, that powers VDDSHV8 used with the SDCARD on MMC1.
