AM571x Industrial Development Kit (IDK) Evaluation Module (EVM)
Hardware
4.3
SEEPROM Header
Each of the AM571x IDK EVMs has a unique serial number. This serial number is printed on a sticker
attached to the IDK and it is programmed into a SEEPROM memory device connected to the AM5718
processor over the I2C bus. The SEEPROM also contains board details such as board type, version,
configuration, and so on. This information is stored in a structure at the beginning of the SEEPROM in a
known format that can be read by the application software. These values are all stored with the first
character or MSB stored at the lowest addressable location in each field.
Table 3
lists all of the fields in
this header definition.

JTAG Emulation
The AM571x IDK EVM supports embedded XDS100V2 USB Emulation through the USB Micro-AB
connector, J19, and the FTDI controller. This controller is powered from the USB VBUS, thus the emulator
connection to the PC is retained whenever the IDK is power cycled.
The AM571x IDK EVM also has a 20-pin CTI JTAG connector, J18, to support standard external
emulators that may operate more efficiently than the embedded XDS100V2 emulation. The AM571x IDK
EVM does not support emulation trace capability.
