Step 1: Setup EVM and expansion card hardware
The minimum configuration of the Jacinto 7 EVM includes the common processor board and a
system-on-module (SOM) board. Each board ships separately.
• The common processor board provides basic connectivity to I/O, JTAG and various available
expansion boards.
• The SOM includes the DRA821 processor you are going to evaluate, as well as power management
and external memory.
Note: Some interfaces may be unavailable depending on the SOM you attach to the common processor board.
