4Optional: Connect the camera module to the camera header of the
IDK, with the camera sensor facing away from the IDK.
Welcome to the AM572x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) Quick Start Guide. This guide is designed to
help you through the initial setup of the board. This IDK allows you to experience industrial applications
which showcase the AM572x’s Dual-Cortex -A15 and TI C66x processors, PRU-ICSS real-time
industrial communications subsystem and more. The AM572x IDK contains the following:
®
•
– Sitara™ AM572x Dual-Cortex-A15 processor
Hardware
– TPS659037 power management I/C
– 10" capacitive touch LCD (not included.
Available separately as TMDXIDK57X-LCD.)
– 2 channels of 1GB DDR3 memory with ECC
on channel 1
– HDMI connector
– 256-Mb Quad SPI NOR Flash memory
– 16-GB eMMC memory
– USB1 Super-Speed (USB3.0) host port
– USB2 High-Speed (USB2.0) host/device port
– 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports
– 4 10/100 Industrial Ethernet ports (4 Industrial
Ethernet ports option is available by disabling
the 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports due to PINMUX
availability)
– 1 PROFIBUS port
– Haptics
– 6 Tricolor industrial and status LEDs
– 1 RS-485 port header
