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) 3 Connect 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. 2 Configure SW2 switches (for NAND and SPI) as OFF. 5 Connect 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. 4 Connect 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. 6 Connect 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). • Hardware – DM814x/AM387x main board – Expansion I/O daughtercard – Interposer board and LCD – Serial cable – Ethernet cable – Audio cable – HDMI cable – Universal power supply with regional adapter – USB mouse – Mini USB to USB adaptor cable – SD card reader (plugs into USB port on PC) – SD card: Contains Linux™Software Development Kit (SDK) and example applications • Printed documents – DM814x/AM387x EVM Quick Start Guide (this document) – Linux SDK SD card content sheet – Software license agreement – Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (on CD) • Software and soft copy documents – DM814x/AM387x Software Development Kit (on SD card) – Sourcery G++™evaluation tools from CodeSourcery 1 9 4 5 6 2 3 8 DM814x/AM387x EVM Baseboard 7 Expansion I/O Board Figure 4.
