3.4.17 Safety Connector
A 12x2 standard 0.1” spaced header- TSW-112-07-S-D is included as a safety signal connector. The safety
connector includes signals connected to the MCU. The 24 pins include MCU_I2C0, MCI_I2C1, MCU_UART1,
MCU_SPI0 and MCU_SPI1 signals. This provides eighteen signals that can be used as either the specified
interface or as MCU_GPIOs. In addition the CONN_MCU_RESETz, CONN_MCU_PORz, MCU_RESETSTATz
and MCU_SAFETY_ERRORn signals are supported with the connector.

3.4.18 SPI Interfaces
• SPI0: A 1Kbit SPI EEPROM (93LC46B) is interfaced to SPI0 port of the AM64x/AM243x. It is used for testing
purposes.
• SPI1: This interface is routed to the HSE Connector. The SPI1 interface signals are at a 3.3 V IO level.
– SPI1_CS0 is routed to the HSE expansion header (J2)
– SPI1_CS1 is routed to the HSE expansion header (J2)
3.4.19 I2C Interfaces
There are five I2C interfaces used in the EVM board.
1. MAIN_I2C0: This interface is used by the software to identify the EVM and to control the power supply
circuit. It is interfaced to presence detect latch to identify the daughter cards which are presently installed,
Board ID memory device, board ID memories of the daughter cards and HSE connector. This I2C is also
connected to a test header J5 for AM64x/AM243x processor slave operation. Pin outs of I2C test header is
given in
