The SK-AM62P-LP starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is built around our AM62P display processor, which includes scalable Arm® Cortex®-A53 performance and embedded features, such as triple high-definition display support, high-performance 3D-GPU, 4K video acceleration, and extensive peripherals. SK-AM62P-LP is for those looking to develop automotive and industrial applications, including automotive digital instrumentation, automotive displays, industrial HMI and more.
SK-AM62P-LP includes multiple display connectors that enable supporting up to 3 screens, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI®) CSI-2 camera connector, an M.2 connector for WiFi or Bluetooth modules, 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, UART to USB circuit for debug output, and 2 temperature sensors for monitoring SoC and LPDDR4 thermal monitoring.
The SK-AM62P-LP supports Linux® and Android development with a feature-rich software development kit (SDK). On-chip emulation logic allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools such as the Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (CCSTUDIO) as well as an intuitive out-of-box user's guide to quickly start design evaluation.
During custom board design, customers tend to reuse the SK design files and make edits to the design file. Alternatively customers reuse some of the common implementations including the SOC, memory and communication interfaces. Since the SK is expected to have additional functionalities, customers optimize the SK implementation to suit their board design requirements. While optimizing the SK schematics, errors get introduced into the custom design that could cause functional, performance or reliability issues. When optimizing customers have queries regarding the SK implementation resulting in design errors. Many of the optimization and design errors are common across designs. Based on the learnings and data sheet pin connectivity recommendations, comprehensive Design Notes (D-Note:), Review Notes (R-Note:) and Cad Notes (Cad Note:) have been added near each section of the SK schematic that customers could review and follow to minimize errors. Additional files as part of the design downloads have been included to support customer evaluation.
