1For SD boot set up, configure S1
switches 1, 2, 3, 5 = ON; all
other switches OFF.
Welcome to the DM814x/AM387x Evaluation Module (EVM) Quick Start Guide. This guide is designed to help you
through the initial setup of your EVM. This EVM allows you to experience numerous demonstrations that showcase the
DM814x/AM387x processors. The DM814x/AM387 EVM includes:
Default setup (Linux boot from SD card)
3Connect supplied serial cable
to UART (P2). Connect the
other end of the serial cable to
a PC. This step is not required
for initial EVM start-up, it is
optional. This step enables
viewing of console messages
on a PC terminal and changing
some of the default
parameters on the EVM.
2Configure SW2 switches (for
NAND and SPI) as OFF.
5Connect the supplied Ethernet
cable to the RJ-45 jack on the
board (J14 or J27). Connect
the other end of the cable to
an Internet-ready connection
(router/switch). This step is not
required for initial EVM start-
up, it is optional. This step
allows proper execution of
example applications that use
Internet access.
4Connect the component cable
to the TVP7002 port on the
board (Figure 1).
To enable HD, user will need to
provide an external HD monitor
with an HDMI input to view the
encode/decode demo. Connect
the supplied HDMI cable to the
HDMI connector J1 (Figure 2).
Connect the other end of the
cable to the user-supplied HD
monitor. Optionally, users may
choose to view the encode/
decode demo on the supplied
LCD.
6Connect the supplied USB
adaptor (Figure 3) to the
mouse. Then connect the mini
side of the adaptor to the USB
port (Figure 4) MI (J2 or J3).
