• Board supply current: 130 mA typ (fully active, CPU at 220 MHz)
• Dimensions: 4.90” x 4.30” x 0.85” (LxWxH)
1.6 Basic Operation
The HDK is designed to work with TI’s Code Composer Studio and other third party ARM IDEs. The IDE
communicates with the board through the embedded emulator or an external JTAG emulator. To start,
follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install Hercules-specific software. This process will install
all of the necessary development tools, documentation and drivers.
1.7 Memory Map
The RM48 family of MCUs have a large byte addressable address space. Table 1-1 shows the address
space of a RM48L952 microcontroller on the left with specific details of how each region is used by the
HDK on the right. By default, the internal memory sits at the beginning of the address space.
The SDRAM is mapped into CS0 space on the EMIF. CS[4:2] are used for synchronous memory for
example SRAM, NOR Flash, NAND Flash, and so forth.

1.8 Power Supply
The HDK board operates from a single +12 V external power supply connected to the main power input
(P1), a 2.5 mm, barrel-type plug. Internally, the +12 V input is converted into +1.2 V, +3.3 V and +5.0 V
using Texas Instruments swift voltage regulators and PTH power module. The +1.2 V supply is used for
the MCU core while the +3.3 V supply is used for the MCU's I/O buffers and other module on the board.
The +5.0 V supply is used for ADC power (second option) and USB VBUS.

2.2.2 Ethernet Interface
The RM48L952 integrates an MII/RMII Ethernet MAC on chip. This interface is routed to the on board
PHY via CBT switches. The board uses a DP83640 PHY. The interface is isolated and brought out to a
RJ-45 connector with integrated magnetics, J1. The pinmux control DIP S2 is used to control the CBT FET
switch for RMII, MII or other functions.
The J1 connector is used to provide a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface. This is a standard RJ-45
connector. The cable end pinout for the J1 connector is shown in Table 2-3.

Physical Description
Before the board is shipped, the XDS100V2 port1 is configured as JTAG, and port2 is configured as SCI.
The CPLD on the board is also programmed to route the JTAG signals to the MCU.
There is a circuitry to detect the external JTAG emulator. If a device is plugged onto the header J4 and
J19, the DS1 LED will be turned on, and XDS100V2 JTAG is disabled.
2.2.6 P1, +5 V to +12 V Input
Connector P1 is the input power connector. This connector brings in +5 V to +12 V to the HDK board. This
is a 2.5 mm jack. Figure 2-5 shows this connector as viewed from the card edge.
Figure 2-5. +12 V Input Jack
2.2.7 J18, USB Host Connector
Connector J18 is a type-A USB host connector. The RM48L952 device supports two OHCI ports. OHCI0
signals are pinmuxed with SPI, NHET, and GIO, and so forth. To use OHCI0, the channel 1 of dip switch
S2 has to be set to “ON”. OHCI provides 5 V VBUS through power switch U12.
The second USB host connector is not populated. Its footprint is overlapped with J16.
2.2.8 J16, USB Device Connector
The RM48L952 device has one W2FC module for USB device. Connector J16 is a type-B USB device
connector. To use W2FC, the channel 3 of dip switch S2 has to be set to “ON”. Two different connectors
can be mounted at location J16. The default connector is USB host.
2.2.9 SCI Interface
The internal SCI on the RM48L952 device is connected to the second port of the XDS100V2. The
XDS100V2 USB driver makes the FT2232H second channel appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This
allows the user to communicate with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port.
2.2.10 Daughter Card Interface
The HDK provides expansion connectors that can be used to accept plug-in daughter cards. The daughter
card allows users to build on their EVM platform to extend its capabilities and provide customer and
application specific I/O. The expansion connectors are for all major interfaces including asynchronous
memory, peripherals, and A/D expansion.
There are three daughter card interfaces: J9, J10, J11. These connectors are described in Table 2-6.

2.3 LEDs
The RM48 HDK board has 19 LEDs. Eight of these LEDs (shown in Table 2-9) are under user control.
Those LEDs are controlled and programmed by NHET signals.
LEDs DS2, DS3, DS4, and DS5 indicate the presence of the power (+1.2 V, +5 V, 3.3 V, and 12 V) s on
the board. The LED functions are summarized in Table 2-9 and Table 2-10.

2.4 S2 DIP Switch
There is one 4-position DIP switches located on the left-bottom corner at reference designator S2. By
default, all of the switches are set to the “OFF” position and should remain in that position when
completing the steps in this user's guide.

Physical Description
The S2 DIP switch is reserved for user application general purpose. Table 2-11 describes the function of
each channel on S2.
(1) S2:1 indicates slide 1 on the S2 DIP switch, S2:2 indicates slide 2 on the S2 DIP switch, and so on.
(2) S2:2 and S2:3 cannot be enabled at the same time since those two ports have pinmux.
(3) To use Ethernet, S2:4 should be enabled and all other have to be disabled.
Table 2-11. S2 DIP Switch Functions
Switch OFF Position ON Position
S2:1 (1) USB Host0 Disabled USB Host0 Enabled
S2:2 (2) USB Host1 Disabled USB Host1 Enabled
S2:3 (2) USB Device Disabled USB Device Enabled
S2:4 (3) Ethernet Disabled Ethernet Enabled
2.5 Jumpers
The HDK board has two jumpers that are used to enable and disable the on-board SDRAM and select 5 V
or 3.3 V ADC.
Table 2-12. Jumpers
Jumper Number OFF ON
J8 5 V ADC 3.3 V ADC
J13 SDRAM on SDRAM Off
2.6 S4, Power On Reset Switch
RM48 MCU has two resets: warm reset (nRST) and power-on reset (nPORRST). Switch S4 is a
momentary switch that asserts power on reset to the RM48L952 device. The nPORRST condition is
intended to reset all logic on the device including the test and emulation circuitry.
2.7 S3, System Reset Switch
Switch S3 is used to assert a warm reset the RM48L952 device. Warm reset does not reset any test or
emulation logic. The reset signal from window watchdog will also assert a warm reset to the MCU. The
warm reset can be invoked by pushing nRST button, or by RESET signals from XDS100 CPLD, ARM
JTAG SREST.
