Installation of LCD Kit on AM57x IDK
5Position the IDK board close
to the LCD screen and
connect the LCD cable to the
IDK board using connector
J16. The cable should be
connected with the contacts
facing away from the IDK
(up). Ensure the connector is
secure by pressing down on
the black flap.
Mount the IDK on the LCD
screen so that the screws on
the LCD assembly fit through
the holes on the PCB and
attach standoffs to secure
the board. Note that two
standoffs must be attached if
the camera module will be
used. Tighten standoffs only
to finger tightness;
overtightening may loosen
the assembly from the
display frame.

2Connect the touch cable to
the IDK board using
connector J17 on the back
side of the board. Make sure
the connector is in the open
position with the black
portion slid outwards. Insert
the plain end of the touch
cable into the connector with
the contacts facing away
from the IDK (up). Close the
connector to secure the
connection.
Note: Cables should be
attached in exactly the order
listed here to avoid stress on
connectors during installation,
which can damage parts.
Connect the LCD cable to the LCD panel by lifting up the white flap
on the connector on the LCD kit, then inserting the end of the cable
into the black side of the connector with the cable contacts facing
the LCD screen (down). Then push the white flap down to secure the
