The DRA79x evaluation module (EVM) is an evaluation platform designed to speed up development efforts and reduce time to market for applications such as infotainment, reconfigurable digital cluster or integrated digital cockpit. To allow scalability and reuse across DRA79x Jacinto Infotainment SoCs, the EVM is based on the Jacinto 6 Entry DRA718 SoC, which incorporates a heterogeneous, scalable architecture that includes a mixture of the following:
The EVM also integrates a host of peripherals including multicamera interfaces (both parallel and serial) for LVDS-based surround view systems, displays, CAN, and Gigabit Ethernet audio video bridging (AVB).
The main CPU board integrates these key peripherals such as Ethernet or high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI®), while the infotainment application daughter board (JAMR3) and LCD/TS daughter board will complement the CPU board to deliver complete system to jump start your evaluation and application development.
An EVM system is comprised of a CPU board with one or more application boards. The CPU board (see Figure 1) can be used as a stand-alone for software debug and development. Each EVM system is designed to let customers evaluate the processor performance and flexibility in the following targeted markets:
The CPU board contains the DRA71x, DRA79x, TDA2Ex-17, and AM570x (superset part) applications processor, a companion power solution (LP8733 and LP8732), DDR3 DRAM, several types of flash memories (QSPI, eMMC, NAND, and NOR), and interface ports and expansion connectors. The board provides additional support components that provide software debugging, signal routing, and configuration controls that are not needed in a final product. Different versions of the CPU boards will be built to support the development process that includes the following:
All other onboard components are soldered-down.
