Tips on safety
Improper or incorrect handling of the product can substantially reduce its life span.
1.6
Symbols and typographic conventions
Table 1: Terms and Conventions
Symbol Meaning
This symbol represents the handling of electrostatic-sensitive devices and / or components. These
components are often damaged / destroyed by the transmission of a voltage higher than about 50 V.
A human body usually only experiences electrostatic discharges above approximately 3,000 V.
This symbol indicates the possible use of voltages higher than 24 V.
Please note the relevant statutory regulations in this regard.
Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to serious damage to your health and also cause
damage / destruction of the component.
This symbol indicates a possible source of danger. Acting against the procedure described can lead to
possible damage to your health and / or cause damage / destruction of the material used.
This symbol represents important details or aspects for working with TQ-products.
Command
A font with fixed-width is used to denote commands, file names, or menu items.
1.7
Handling and ESD tips
General handling of your TQ-products
The TQ-product may only be used and serviced by certified personnel who have taken note of the
information, the safety regulations in this document and all related rules and regulations.
A general rule is: do not touch the TQ-product during operation. This is especially important when
switching on, changing jumper settings or connecting other devices without ensuring beforehand
that the power supply of the system has been switched off.
Violation of this guideline may result in damage / destruction of the TQMa335xL and be dangerous
to your health.
Improper handling of your TQ-product would render the guarantee invalid.
Proper ESD handling
The electronic components of your TQ-product are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always wear antistatic clothing, use ESD-safe tools, packing materials etc., and operate your TQ-
product in an ESD-safe environment. Especially when you power up the TQMa335xL or the Starterkit,
change jumper settings, or connect other devices.

User's Manual l TQMa335xL UM 0101 l © 2019, TQ-Systems GmbH Page 3
1.8
Naming of signals
A hash mark (#) at the end of the signal name indicates a low-active signal.
Example: RESET#
If a signal can switch between two functions and if this is noted in the name of the signal, the low-active function is marked with
a hash mark and shown at the end.
Example: C / D#
If a signal has multiple functions, the individual functions are separated by slashes when they are important for the wiring.
The identification of the individual functions follows the above conventions.
Example: WE2# / OE#
1.9

User's Manual l TQMa335xL UM 0101 l © 2019, TQ-Systems GmbH Page 8
3.2.1.2 Boot modes
The AM335x provides a ROM with integrated boot loader.
After power-up the boot code initialises the hardware and then loads the program image from the selected boot device.
The integrated eMMC can be selected as standard boot device for the TQMa335xL.
More external boot devices are available as an alternative to eMMC.
Information thereto can be found in the AM335x Data Sheet (1) and the AM335x Reference Manual (3).
The AM335x supports so-called boot-sequences, i.e. if it fails to boot from the first boot device, it will try to boot from the next
one automatically.

SPI0 / NOR (not available on TQMa335xL) MMC0 / SD USB0 / n.a. UART0 / n.a.
The boot device and its configuration as well as other AM335x settings have to be done via Boot Mode Register SYSBOOT.
The register SYSBOOT is read during reset from pins LCD_DATA[15:0].
Attention: Malfunction
On the carrier board must be ensured that even in the third and fourth boot sequence
no pins drive against each other!
The settings for other boot devices are to be taken from the AM335x Data Sheet (1).

User's Manual l TQMa335xL UM 0101 l © 2019, TQ-Systems GmbH Page 9
3.2.1.3 Boot configuration
The boot configuration of the TQMa335xL is defined through 16 GPIO pins.
Note: Boot configuration
None of these 16 boot configuration pins are connected on the TQMa335xL,
which means, the TQMa335xL is delivered with no preset boot configuration.
With bits SYSBOOT[15:14] and SYSBOOT[5] some general settings are carried out, independent from the boot device.
The value in the following table printed in

3.2.3 AM335x-RTC, PMIC-RTC
Both the AM335x and the PMIC on the TQMa335xL provide an RTC, which have their own power domain VRTC.
The RTC power domain VRTC of the CPU is supplied by the PMIC through an internal regulator.
The PMIC is either supplied by VIN (VCC3V3IN), or through the PMIC backup supply pin VBACKUP_PMIC,
which is routed to TQMa335xL pad C9.
The PMIC can charge a battery or a SuperCap connected through TQMa335xL pad C9.
Charging methods and electrical characteristics are to be taken from the PMIC User’s Guide (6).
The typical current consumption of the PMIC_RTC is approximately 20 µA @ 3 V.
The accuracy of the RTC is mainly determined by the characteristics of the quartz used. The 32.768 kHz crystal type FC-135 used
on the TQMa335xL has a standard frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm @ +25 °C. (Parabolic coefficient: max. –0.04 × 10–6 / °C2.)
Note: Current consumption
Long-term bridging with a coin cell is not possible due to the high current consumption
of the PMIC-RTC. Depending on the use case a Li coin cell or a SuperCap can be used.

3.2.4 Interfaces
3.2.4.1 Overview
The TQMa335xL provides interfaces with primary function. These can be used simultaneously independent from its
configuration. If a secondary function (e.g. MII0) is required, some primary functions may be omitted. More information
regarding availability and pinout can be found in the AM335x Data Sheet (1) and the AM335x Reference Manual (3).
