== Interfaces and Functions ==
=== Main Power ===
----
Connector '''J6''' is the main DC power source of this evaluation kit. The DC power supply unit included with the evaluation kit provides 12V DC power to the system through '''J6'''.

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_J6_and_J8|Connector J6]]''.

=== Serial Console ===
----
Serial console is available through one of the following interfaces:
* Serial over USB using micro-USB2.0 Type-B '''P7''' connector. Continue to [[SB-SOM: HOWTO: USB Console|USB console guide]] for USB interface setup instructions.
* Serial over RS-232 using the '''P8''' connector with custom RS-232 cable (included with the evaluation kit). Continue to [[SB-SOM: HOWTO: RS-232 Console|RS-232 console guide]] for RS-232 interface setup instructions.

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P7|Connector P7]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P8|Connector P8]]'', <!-- ''[[SB-SOM:_Jumpers:_E3|Jumper E3]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_LEDS:_DS2_and_DS3|LED DS2]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_LEDS:_DS2_and_DS3|LED DS3]]'', -->''[[SB-SOM: HOWTO: USB Console|USB console guide]]'', ''[[SB-SOM: HOWTO: RS-232 Console|RS-232 console guide]]''.

=== USB ===
----
Both CL-SOM-AM57x USB ports are accessible with this evaluation kit:
# CL-SOM-AM57x USB 3.0 Port is available through the OTG connector '''P3'''.
#* USB Host connection: The micro-USB to USB type-A adapter included with evaluation kit (available for purchase [http://www.compulab.co.il/support/cables-connectors-accessories/ here]) allows usage of connector '''P3''' as a standard USB 3.0 host port.
#* USB Gadget connection: A standard micro-USB cable (included with evaluation kit) enables connection of the evaluation kit as a USB gadget to the USB port of your host computer.
# CL-SOM-AM57x USB 2.0 Port is available through one of the following connectors, depending on the state of jumper '''E7'''.
#* '''E7''' <u>not</u> populated: Only Dual stacked USB2.0 '''P6''' connector and '''P16''' mini-PCI-express connector are enabled.
#* '''E7''' populated: Only '''P26''' USB2.0 connector is enabled.

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P3|Connector P3]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P6|Connector P6]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P16|Connector P16]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P26|Connector P26]]''<!--, ''[[SB-SOM:_Jumpers:_E7|Jumper E7]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_LEDS:_DS6|LED DS6]]''-->.

=== CAN ===
----
CAN bus nodes can be connected to evaluation kit header '''P5''' as described in [[SB-SOM:_HOWTO:_CAN_Connection|CAN node connection guide]].

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P5|Connector P5]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_HOWTO:_CAN_Connection|CAN node connection guide]]''.

=== Ethernet ===
----
The kit features two 1Gbps copper Ethernet ports.

<blockquote>
==== Primary Ethernet ====
The primary Ethernet port is available through RJ45 connector '''P21'''.

==== Secondary Ethernet ====
The secondary Ethernet port is available through [[CL-SOM-AM57x: Evaluation Kit: Secondary Ethernet Adapter|Secondary Ethernet Adapter]] ('''ACC_SBSOMCAM2ETH'''), mounted on SB-SOM '''P18''' connector.
</blockquote>

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM: Connectors: P21 and P22|Connector P21]]'', ''[[SB-SOM: Connectors: P18|Connector P18]]'', ''[[CL-SOM-AM57x: Evaluation Kit: Secondary Ethernet Adapter|ACC_SBSOMCAM2ETH]]''.

=== Wireless ===
----

<blockquote>

==== WiFi/Bluetooth ====
Connect both antennas (included with evaluation kit) to CL-SOM-AM57x connectors J1 and J2 for WiFi and/or Bluetooth operation.

</blockquote>

=== Display ===
----
CL-SOM-AM57x evaluation platform has four video output interfaces: HDMI, LCD, DVI, and LVDS.

<blockquote>
==== HDMI ====
The HDMI display interface is accessible through the HDMI connector '''J4'''. Default configuration of Debian Linux for CL-SOM-AM57x uses HDMI as primary video output.
<!--
* [[SB-SOM: HOWTO: HDMI Connection|HDMI hardware connection guide]]
-->

==== LCD ====
Connect the LCD panel (included with evaluation kit) through the FPC connector '''P10''':
<!--
* [[SB-SOM:_HOWTO:_LCD_Connection|LCD hardware connection guide]]
-->

==== DVI ====
The DVI display interface is accessible through the HDMI connector '''J5''':
<!--
* [[SB-SOM:_HOWTO:_DVI_Connection|DVI hardware connection guide]]
-->

==== LVDS ====
The LVDS display interface is accessible through evaluation kit header '''P11'''.
This header enables simple connection (with jumper wires) to any LVDS panel.
Please refer to SB-SOM schematics for detailed information on '''P11'''.
</blockquote>

'''More Details:''' ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P10|Connector P10]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_J4|Connector J4]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_J5|Connector J5]]'', ''[[SB-SOM:_Connectors:_P11|Connector P11]]''.

=== System ===
----
<blockquote>
==== Reset ====
Pressing the reset button ('''SW2''') triggers evaluation kit cold reset.

==== Boot Sequence Selection ====
Evaluation kit supports normal and alternate boot sequences. Detailed description of the sequences is available in the CL-SOM-AM57x reference guide.
* Pressing and holding the ALT.BOOT button ('''SW3''') during power-up or cold reset forces alternative boot sequence.
* Populating the '''E1''' jumper, constantly forces alternative boot sequence.
* Indication of selected boot sequence is shown with the '''DS12''' LED.

==== Power ON / Cycle ====
* Pressing PWRDn button ('''SW1''') generates a wake/power-on request.
* Pressing and holding this button results in system switch off. The key-press duration is configurable (default 10 sec).

==== RTC ====
The evaluation kit RTC (implemented onboard CL-SOM-AM57x) is powered by a coin cell battery. RTC power can be disconnected by:
* Removing the coin cell battery.
* Removing jumper '''E8'''.

To quickly discharge the RTC power, momentarily short pins 1 and 2 of jumper '''E8'''.
