SPRUJ66A February 2023 – December 2023
The boot mode for the SK EVM board is defined by two banks of switches SW2 and SW3 or by the I2C buffer connected to the Test automation connector. This allows for AM62A SOC Boot mode control by either the user (DIP Switch Control) or by the Test Automation connector.
All the bits of switch (SW2 & SW3) have weak pull down resistor and a strong pull up resistor as shown in below picture. Note that OFF setting provides a low logic level (‘0’) and an ON setting provide a high logic level (‘1’).
The boot mode pins of the SOC have associated alternate functions during normal operation. Hence isolation is provided using Buffer IC’s to cater for alternate pin functionality. The output of the buffer is connected to the boot mode pins on the AM62A SOC and the output is enabled only when the boot mode is needed during a reset cycle.
The input to the buffer is connected to the DIP switch circuit and to the output of an I2C IO Expander set by the test automation circuit. If the test automation circuit controls the boot mode, all the switches should be manually set to the OFF position. The boot mode buffer is powered by an always ON power supply to ensure that the boot mode remains present even if the SOC is power cycled.
Switch SW2 and SW3 bits [15:0] are used to set the SOC Boot mode.
The switch map to the boot mode functions is provided in the tables below.
