0 Replies and 1713 Views Article: TI-All -- ESD Protection on the SOM  1713  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: Does the SOM have ESD protection A: No, the SOM does not have ESD protection. The reason for this is that the SOM was designed to be adaptable to many different applications, which makes it impractical to design in ESD protection. The SOM does not provide any ESD protection circuitry on the board and must be provided by the product it is used in. Logic PD has extensive experience in designing products with ESD requirements.

0 Replies and 1564 Views Article: TI-All -- Memory Map for the SOM?  1564  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: Where can I find a memory map for the TI SOMs A: A memory map is available as part of the LogicLoader (LoLo) User Manual Addendum that is written for each SOM. Because the memory map is software-dependent, the best that can be presented is how LogicLoader handles memory. The LogicLoader User Manual Addendum can be found on the product downloads page, under the “User Manuals” section heading.

0 Replies and 1544 Views Article: TI-All: BoLo, NoLo, and LoLo Defined  1544  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: What is the definition of BoLo, NoLo, and LoLo A: BoLo: Block zero loader - The lowest level bootloader or bootstrap code on the system. BoLo was incorporated into LogicLoader code after LoLo version 1.4.0 and no longer exists as stand-alone code. NoLo: NAND Loader - The job of NoLo is to load and execute LoLo. NoLo always resides at block zero, and uses no more than one block of the NAND device. Block zero is guaranteed by the NAND device manufacturer to be a good block for the life of t...

0 Replies and 2517 Views Article: TI-All: How To Format An SD Card For Booting  2517  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: Where can I find a tool to format my SD card so I can use it to boot my TI based development kit A: The HP USB Formatting Tool version 2.0.6 appears to be the best tool for formatting an SD card so it can be used to boot TI-based Development Kits into LogicLoader. Using the HP USB Formatting Tool ensures that an extended partition is not created on the SD card (a requirement of the OMAP process). The most recent version of the tool available on HP's site doesn't seem to work as well as ve...

The SD card can hold the UBL, U-Boot, Kernel, rootfs and other files. Silicon version 2.0 and earlier, require the arm-mmcsd-ais.bin UBL file to be installed in the SPI Boot Flash. Then the SD card can be used as the source of U-Boot, Kernel, rootfs, and other files. The arm-mmcsd-ais.bin UBL file is delivered with the TI PSP sof...

The verbal description below has orientation instructions for determining the Pin 1, even, and odd pins on the Torpedo connectors. The silkscreen on the baseboard of the DM3730 kit shows the pin orientations. J1, J2 Orientation: Looking at the bottom of the Torpedo SOM (with J5 beneath and to the right). ...

There were accommodations in 2.6.33 for silicon revisions up to 1.1 but not for 2.0 as there are in 2.6.37. To account for this, Below is a patch for the following change: In kernel linux-2.6.33/arch/arm/mach-davinci/da850.c, add a definition to da850_id list which is needed for OMAP-L138 silicon revision 2.0 ...
