2 Constructing the Block Diagram

The first step in designing the hardware platform is to create a detailed block diagram. The block diagram should contain all major system ICs and illustrate which I/O ports are used for device interconnection. Below is a collection of resources to aid in the Block Diagram creation process.

  • The links at the TI website below provide block diagrams, application reports, tools, software, design considerations, and other related information for various products under category "Related End Equipments".
  • An EVM (Evaluation Module) is always a good source from which to start building a reference design for these devices. The technical documentation for the EVM is available for download from the following locations:
  • The AM57xx family of devices offer a range of performance options while being all designed using the same processing elements and interfaces. This allows that family to be software compatible. Additionally, AM574x, AM572x and AM571x have very similar footprints that allow migration on the same board design. The AM574x/AM572x/AM571x Compatibility Guide covers the differences in ball assignment, pin multiplexing and basic features between AM574x, AM572x, and AM571x.
