2.1.1 Concept of the phyCORE-OMAP44xx Carrier Board
The phyCORE-OMAP44xx Carrier Board provides a flexible development platform enabling quick and easy
start-up and subsequent programming of the phyCORE System on Module. The carrier board design allows easy
connection of additional expansion boards featuring various functions that support fast and convenient
prototyping and software evaluation.
This modular development platform concept includes the following components:
•
the
phyCORE-OMAP44xx module
populated with the OMAP44xx processor and all applicable SOM circuitry
such as DDR2 SDRAM, Flash, PHYs, and transceivers to name a few.
•
the
phyCORE-OMAP44xx Carrier Board
which offers all essential components and connectors for start-up
including: a power socket which enables connection to an
external power adapter
, interface connectors
such as
DB-9
,
USB
and
Ethernet
allowing for use of the SOM's interfaces with standard cable.
The following sections contain specific information relevant to the operation of the phyCORE-OMAP44xx
mounted on the phyCORE-OMAP44xx Carrier Board.
