Welcome to the DM816x/C6A816x/AM389x 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 DM816x, C6A816x and AM389x processors. The DM816x/C6A816x/AM389x EVM includes:
Default setup (Linux boot from SD card)
3Connect supplied serial cable
to UART (P10). 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 switch SW4:
NAND=OFF, SPI=OFF.
5Connect the supplied Ethernet
cable to the RJ-45 jack on the
board (J10). 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 supplied HDMI
cable to the HDMI connector
(P6). Connect the other end of
the cable to the supplied LCD
monitor or TV. Updated SDK
required to enable touch-
screen capability.
6Connect the supplied USB
mouse to the top connector of
the USB port (J13).
