Clock

The AM261x SoC requires a 25MHz clock input for XTAL_XI. The AM261x LaunchPad uses a 25MHz crystal for the SoC clock source. The LaunchPad also has two 25MHz Crystals onboard for the Ethernet PHY clocking which can be connected to the ethernet port connectors on the board using ethernet add-on boards. The SoC clock signal output CLKOUT1 can be used as a clock source for an Ethernet PHY on an attached Ethernet add-on board. The resistors (R211 & R214) must be removed from the traces connecting the 25MHz Crystals to Ethernet Connector 0 and Ethernet Connector 1. Mount the appropriate resistors (R212 & R213) for CLKOUT1 to be routed to both of the Ethernet add-on board connectors to connect the CLKOUT1 net to the XI pin of the Ethernet PHYs on the add-on boards.

The LaunchPad also has a on board crystal (Y4) of frequency 16MHz which is clock source for the XDS110 for UART-USB JTAG support.
