TI Jacinto 7 Edge AI EVM setup

The EVM setup


This EVM page it's meant to show the user the Jacinto 7 EVM peripherals connections and boot modes necessary for the Edge AI, Linux, and RTOS SDKs.


For more details visit https://www.ti.com/tool/J721EXCPXEVM.


Requirements:

  • TDA4VM/J7ES EVM
  • 12 V power supply
  • Ethernet cable
  • UART cable
  • Minimum 16GB high-performance SD card
  • USB camera
  • Full HD eDP display

The EVM connections


Boot mode switches

In order to allow the EVM to boot, please follow this switches configuration:

Board Distribution

For reference on where are located the main components and their description, check the following image:

Configuration

The switches SW1, SW2 and SW3 are called configuration switches. Depending on how this switches are set, the system on module can fulfill different functions, check the next table:



Switch Name Default Condition Signal Operation
SW1.1 ON LPDDR4_IO_SEL Selects the I/O voltage level for LPDDR4:

‘0’ (OFF) = Selects 0.6 V I/O for LPDDR4X,‘1’ (ON) = Selects 1.1 V I/O for LPDDR4

SW1.2 OFF SEL_SOC_I2Cn MUX to select I2C Interface for PMICs:

‘0’ (OFF) = PMIC I2C to SoC WKUP interface, ‘1’ (ON) = PMIC I2C to External Header (test mode only)

SW2.1 OFF SEL_GPIO8_ALT Selection for PMIC Watchdog Timer/GPIO8:

‘0’ (OFF) = PMIC watchdog timer control is set with SW2.2, ‘1’ (ON) = PMIC I/O used for GPIO8 (test point)

SW2.2 ON LEOA_WDOG_DIS Enable/Disable selection for PMIC Watchdog Timer:

‘0’ (OFF) = PMIC watchdog timer is enabled, ‘1’ (ON) = PMIC watchdog timer is disabled (requires SW2.1 to be set to OFF)

SW3.1 ON SOC_SAFETY_ERRz Option to combine SOC_SAFETY_ERRz with MCU_SAFETY_ERR and PMIC:

‘0’ (OFF) = SOC_SAFETY_ERRz (Main) is isolated from PMIC, ‘1’ (ON) = SOC_SAFETY_ERRz (Main) is connected to PMIC

SW3.2 OFF SOC_PWR_EN Manual method of enabling PMIC:

‘0’ (OFF) = PMIC enabled by EVM system, ‘1’ (ON) = PMIC enabled manually (test mode only)

Note: This table is a simple rework from the J721E SOM configuration switches table, located in Jacinto7 DRA829/TDA4VM Evaluation Module (EVM) Users Guide (Rev. A).
