Primary PCIe

The primary PCIe port is available through P16 mini-PCIe slot.

Secondary PCIe

The secondary PCIe port is available through P20 mini-PCIe slot (shared with SATA interface). Support of secondary PCIe port is determined by jumper E10 setting as follows:

E10 Setting P20 usage mode
Populated (Forced Mode) P20 used only for PCI-Express interface
Removed (Automatic Mode) The secondary PCIe is automatically routed to P20 upon detection of mimi-PCIe card in P20 slot

More Details: Connector P20, Connector P16.

SATA


The Serial ATA (SATA) interface available with CL-SOM-AM57x is accessible through one of the following connectors:

  1. P12 SATA connector
  2. P20 mini-PCIe slot / mSATA

Standard SATA

For using standard SATA Mechanical and SSD drives:

  1. Make sure system power is removed
  2. Connect SATA drive to P12 using included cable
  3. Remove jumper E10
  4. Power the system up

mSATA

The Evaluation kit supports mSATA form-factor drives through the P20 miniPCIe connector. For using mSATA drives:

  1. Make sure system power is removed
  2. Connect mSATA drive into P20
  3. Remove jumper E10
  4. Power the system up
E10 Setting SATA Drives support on connector P12/P20
Populated (Forced Mode) SATA available on P12 only
Removed (Automatic Mode) The SATA is automatically routed to P20 upon detection of mSATA card in P20 slot.

More Details: Connector P20, Connector P12.

Wireless


WiFi/Bluetooth

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

Display


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

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.

LCD

Connect the LCD panel (included with evaluation kit) through the FPC connector P10.

DVI

The DVI display interface is accessible through the HDMI connector J5.

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.

More Details: Connector P10, Connector J4, Connector J5, Connector P11.

Touch Panel Interface


The CL-SOM-AM57x resistive touch panel interface is accessible through the P10 and P5 headers. For testing the touch interface connect the LCD panel (included with evaluation kit) through the FPC connector P10.

More Details: Connector P5, Connector P10.

SD Card Support

  2. SDIO2 (available without "WiFi" option on CL-SOM-AM57x) is accessible through the P4 header.


Admolition note.png Some of the SDIO signals are not available with CL-SOM-AM57x evaluation kit (stock configuration of CL-SOM-AM57x board). Please refer to CL-SOM-AM57x hardware reference manual for signal availability details.

More Details: Connector P4.

System


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.

Multi functional signals access


Camera

Part of the CL-SOM-AM57x camera interface signals are accessible through the evaluation kit P18 header.

Please note that the usage of Camera interface precludes secondary Ethernet port.

Please refer to CL-SOM-AM57x reference guide and SB-SOM schematics for details.

UART

CL-SOM-AM57x UART interfaces are partially accessible through headers P4, P5 and P18.

Please refer to CL-SOM-AM57x reference guide and SB-SOM schematics for details.

SPI

CL-SOM-AM57x SPI interfaces are partially accessible through headers P4, P5 and P18.
