Board ID EEPROM

The AM243x LaunchPad has a 1 Mbit I2C EEPROM for board ID information. The board ID memory is configured to respond to the I2C address 0X50 by connecting the address pins (A0, A1) to ground and programmed with the header description. This EEPROM (AT24CM01-XHD-T from Microchip) is interfaced to the I2C0 port of the SoC. When the WP pin is connected directly to VCC then all write operations to the protected memory are inhibited. The mounted resistor is shown inside of the red box in Figure 4-8. For normal operation, the WP pin can be left floating by isolating the resistor shown in the red box (R89).
