Overview

The TMDS243 evaluation module (EVM) is a standalone test and development platform for evaluating AM243x functionality and developing prototypes for a variety of applications. TMDS243EVM is equipped with the larger form factor Sitara™ AM2434 ALV microcontroller unit (MCU) and additional components that allow the user to make use of the security features on the MCU, as well as various device interfaces, including industrial Ethernet, standard Ethernet, peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe), fast serial interface (FSI) and others to easily create prototypes. This EVM provides a larger peripheral set than the LP-AM243 LaunchPad™ as it is equipped with the larger form factor AM243 ALV package.

An onboard display makes use of AM243x serial peripheral interface (SPI) ports to provide the ability for local visual outputs in addition to the LEDs. Onboard current-measurement capabilities are available to monitor power consumption for power-conscious applications.

The supplied USB cable, paired with embedded emulation logic, allows for emulation and debugging using standard development tools, such as the Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (CCSTUDIO).

Note that TMDS243EVM is the newest version of TMS243GPEVM. TMDS243EVM includes high-security field-securable (HS-FS) silicon to customize keys and encryption for security applications

Features
  • Three RJ45 Ethernet ports capable of 1Gb or 100Mb speeds
  • Real-time, low-pin-count FSI interface for easy connection with C2000™ MCUs
  • 1-in display and LEDs for convenient visual outputs
  • Four-lane PCIe connector to interface one-lane PCIe card
  • Onboard power-measurement capabilities

  • MicroSD card
  • USB cable
  • Ethernet cable
  • Quick-start guide
