3. Accessing the phyBOARD-Wega Interfaces:
PHYTEC phyBOARD-Wega is fully equipped with all mechanical and electrical components
necessary for the speedy and secure start-up and subsequent communication to and
programming of applicable PHYTEC System on Module (SOM) modules. phyBOARD-Wega Boards
are designed for evaluation, testing and prototyping of PHYTEC System on Module in
laboratory environments prior to their use in customer designed applications.
3.1 Concept of the phyBOARD-Wega:
The phyBOARD-Wega provides a flexible development platform enabling quick and easy start-
up and subsequent programming of its soldered phyCORE-AM335x System on Module. The carrier
board design allows easy connection of additional extension boards featuring various functions that
support fast and convenient prototyping and software evaluation. The carrier board is compatible with
phyCORE-AM335x only.
This modular development platform concept includes the following components:
The phyCORE-AM335x module populated by default with the AM3354 processor and all applicable
SOM circuitry such as DDR SDRAM, Flash, PHYs, and transceivers to name a few.
The phyBOARD-Wega 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-
AM335x mounted on the phyBOARD-Wega Carrier Board.
