ADSxx53EVM-PDK Kit Operation
This section describes how to use ADSxx53EVM-PDK and the ADSxx53EVM software to configure the
EVM and acquire data.
6.1
About the Simple Capture Card Controller Board
The simple capture card controller board provides the USB interface between the PC and the
ADSxx53EVM. The controller board is designed around the AM335x processor, a USB 2.0 high-speed
capability, 32-bit ARM core. The simple capture card controller board incorporates an onboard FPGA
subsystem and 256 MB of onboard DDR SRAM memory.
The simple capture card controller board is not sold as a development board, and it is not available
separately. TI cannot offer support for the simple capture card controller board except as part of this EVM
kit.
