AM57x System Architecture AM57x Sitara Processors Technical Deep Dive

Pad Configuration Requirements In order to guarantee the IO Timings in the AM57x Data Manual over the lifetime of the device, AM57x software shall implement the proper pad configuration requirements. Pad configuration settings that impact IO timings include: Slew Control Settings Virtual IO Timing Modes Manual IO Timing Modes (default values must be used) Proper pad configuration procedure includes: IO Isolation: Required to guarantee IO state when changing IO settings IO Delay Recalibration: Required to guarantee timings after AVS changes The AM57x Data Manual lists the pad configuration requirements to achieve the various timing modes of operation. The TRM Pad Configuration Section provides the details on implementing the pad configuration requirements.

Virtual IO Timing Modes Virtual IO Timing Modes are pre-defined IO timing settings that are coded in the Device ROM. Selection of Virtual Modes is done via the Pad Configuration Registers. This is described in AM57x TRM section Virtual IO Timing Modes. Below is an example of how Virtual IO Timing Modes are defined in the AM57x Data Manual:

Manual IO Timing Modes Manual IO Timing Modes are IO timing settings that must be calculated and programmed by system software based on seed values in the datasheet. Application of Manual IO Timing Modes is done via the CFG_x_IN, CFG_x_OEN, and CFG_x_OUT registers in the IODELAYCONFIG Module. This is described in the AM57x TRM section Manual IO Timing Modes. Below is an example of how Manual IO Timing Modes seed values are defined in the AM57x Data Manual:

IO Isolation Mode Any changes to the Pad Configuration Registers or IODELAYCONFIG registers can potentially result in an undesirable state (i.e., output state changes or output enable changes) on the associated IOs. To guarantee IO state, device pins should be placed in Isolation Mode when making any changes to the Pad Configuration Registers or IODELAYCONFIG Module Registers. Run-time (non-isolated) changes are only supported for MMC. See TRM section Isolation Requirements for details.

Customer Software Implications All I/O timing modes and pinmuxing shall be set by software At boot-time While under protection of isolation While executing code from OCMCRAM (since DDR cannot be accessed while IOs are in isolation) The Secondary Boot Loaders (just after ROM bootloader) execute from OCMC RAM. The MLO in the Linux eco-system operates from the OCMC RAM. Therefore the MLO/ SBL is the ideal place for pad configurations. Run-time changes are needed for MMC where dynamic configurations can not be avoided. TI has validated this use case. IO Delay support is included in the AM57xx Pin Mux Tool (PMT). NOTE: In order to guarantee the IO timings in the AM57x Data Manual over the lifetime of the device, AM57x software shall implement the proper pad configuration requirements.

AM57x Boot Booting devices include: NOR flash memory or other XIP device NAND flash memories (non-xip) Removable SD card device emmc memory device 1-bit SPI flash memories (QSPI_1) 4-bit (Quad) SPI flash memories (QSPI_4) SATA-compatible devices Solid state drives (SSDs) Hard-disk drives (HDDs) USB: HS USB 2.0 interface UART: UART interface Initial boot order comes from sysboot pins.

Interrupt & Event Controller Crossbar Each core or DMA can only supports a static number of interrupt/event inputs. Each core interrupt controller and each DMA event handler is preceded by an Interrupt Controller or DMA Crossbar mux. Crossbar allows any peripheral interrupt/event to be mapped to a core or DMA. Mapping of peripheral interrupt/event selections is the same for each crossbar instance to allow software consistency. All peripherals Repeated for each IRQ of each CPU core (similar for events/dma)

Thermal Considerations Thermal management ensures that every silicon device on the board works within its allowable operating junction temperature. Failure to maintain a junction temperature within the range specified reduces operating lifetime, reliability, and performance. The product design cycle should include thermal analysis to verify the operating junction temperature of the device is within functional limits. If the temperature is too high, componentor system-level thermal enhancements are required to dissipate the heat from the system.

AM572/1x Layout Compatibility AM572x & AM571x are designed as layout compatible solutions. AM572/1x Compatibility Guide application note walks through differences: Feature differences Hardware considerations Pin compatibility Software impact PMIC compatibility Example differences: Same multiplexings for all common features Features/signals removed or added in AM571x New added pin muxings in AM571x IVA/DSP must run at same OPP when AM571x populated (unless special population hooks) Some special powers swap, must treat them the same (same filtering/handling)
