7 Device and Documentation Support

7.1 Device Support

7.1.1 Development Support

TI offers an extensive line of development tools, including tools to evaluate the performance of the processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug software and hardware modules. The tool's support documentation is electronically available within the Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

7.1.1.1 Getting Started and Next Steps

The following products support development of the AM3517/05 device applications:

Software Development Tools:

  • Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Sitara ARM Processors: an optimizing C/C++ compiler, source code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler, and many other features.
  • FlashTool for AM35x, AM37x, DM37x and OMAP35x Devices: a Windows-based application that can be used to transfer binary images from a host PC to TI Sitara AM35x, AM37x, DM37x and OMAP35x target platforms.
  • Pin Mux Utility for ARM Microprocessors: a Windows-based software tool which provides a Graphical User Interface for configuring pin multiplexing settings, resolving conflicts and specifying I/O cell characteristics for TI ARM MPUs.
  • Power Estimation Tool (PET): provides users the ability to gain insight in to the power consumption of select Sitara and OMAP processors.

Hardware Development Tools:

  • Uniflash Standalone Flash Tool for TI Microcontrollers (MCUs) and Sitara Processors: a standalone tool used to program on-chip flash memory on TI MCUs and on-board flash memory for Sitara processors.
  • XDS200 Price/Performance-balanced Debug Probe: a JTAG emulator for TI embedded processors.
  • XDS560 High Performance Debug Probe: combines state-of-the-art silicon, hardware, and software technology to provide the best hardware debug capabilities.

For a complete listing of development-support tools for the AM3517/05 platform, visit the Texas Instruments website at www.ti.com. For information on pricing and availability, contact the nearest TI field sales office or authorized distributor.

7.1.2 Device Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all AM3517/05 processors and support tools. Each device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix). Texas Instruments recommends two of three possible prefix designators for its support tools: TMDX and TMDS. These prefixes represent evolutionary stages of product development from engineering prototypes (TMDX) through fully qualified production devices/tools (TMDS).

Device development evolutionary flow:

    XExperimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final devices electrical specifications and may not use production assembly flow. (TMX definition)
    PPrototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet final electrical specifications. (TMP definition)
    nullProduction version of the silicon die that is fully qualified. (TMS definition)

Support tool development evolutionary flow:

    TMDXDevelopment support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal qualification testing.
    TMDSFully qualified development support product.

TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following disclaimer:

Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes.

Production devices and TMDS development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TIs standard warranty applies.

Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P), have a greater failure rate than the standard production devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be used.

For additional description of the device nomenclature markings, see the AM35x ARM Microprocessor Silicon Errata (SPRZ306).

7.6 Electrostatic Discharge Caution

esds-image

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
