Welcome to the AM571x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) Quick Start Guide. This guide is designed to
help you through the initial setup of the board. This IDK allows you to experience industrial applications
®
which showcase the AM571x’s Cortex -A15 and C66x processors, PRU-ICSS real-time industrial
communications subsystem and more. The AM571x IDK contains the following:
Default setup (OS boot from microSD card)
2
Connect the power cable to
the power jack on the board
and plug into an AC power
source.
Connect the supplied USB
Micro-B to Type-A cable to
the microUSB JTAG port J19
and plug the other end into
your PC/laptop USB port.
Then open a serial console
on your PC/laptop such as
Teraterm. This cable can also
be used for Code Composer
Studio (CCS) IDE control of
the IDK. Please see
for details
on CCS set up.

• Hardware
– Sitara™ AM571x Cortex-A15 processor
– TPS6590377 power management I/C
– 10" capacitive touch LCD (sold separately as
TMDXIDK57X-LCD. A shunt needs to be
placed on J51 to enable LCD operation. See
PINMUX note.)
– 1GB DDR3 memory with ECC
– HDMI connector
– 256-Mb Quad SPI NOR Flash memory
– 16-GB eMMC memory
– USB1 High-Speed (USB2.0) host port
– USB2 High-Speed (USB2.0) host/device port
– 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports
– 2 10/100 Industrial Ethernet ports enabled by
default (All four 10/100 Industrial Ethernet
ports can be enabled by disabling the LCD
output by removing J51 shunt. See PINMUX
note.)
®
– 1 PROFIBUS port
– Haptics
– 6 Tricolor industrial and status LEDs
– 1 RS-485 port header
– 1 DCAN port header
PINMUX note for LCD and Ethernet ports:
Due to PINMUX, all six Ethernet ports cannot be used at the
same time that the LCD is used. The AM571x IDK is designed
to operate in two modes. The mode is chosen using a shunt on
header J51.
• J51 shunt installed: LCD and 4-port mode. LCD is enabled.
Ports GIGETH0, GIGETH1, PRU2ETH0, and PRU2ETH1 are
enabled. Ports PRU1ETH0 and PRU1ETH1 are disabled.
• J51 shunt not installed: 6-port mode. LCD is disabled.
Ports GIGETH0, GIGETH1, PRU2ETH0, PRU2ETH1,
PRU1ETH0, and PRU1ETH1 are enabled.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
