1 Introduction

Welcome to the Jacinto™ 7 EVM Quick Start Guide for TDA4VM and DRA829V processors. This guide helps you begin your evaluation quickly by covering the following topics:

Setup EVM and expansion card hardware.
Experiencing the Out Of Box (OOB) demonstration to ensure the EVM hardware is functional.
Download and install Processor SDK (software development kit).
Complete Project 0, your first ‘Hello World’ project to ensure interoperability of the EVM and software.

Caution

Caution Hot surface.
Contact may cause burns
Do not touch.

2 Step 1: Setup EVM and Expansion Card Hardware

The minimum configuration of the Jacinto 7 EVM includes the common processor board and a system-on-module (SOM) board. Each board ships separately.

The common processor board provides basic connectivity to I/O, JTAG and various available expansion boards.
The SOM includes the TDA4x or DRA82x processor you are going to evaluate, as well as power management and external memory.
