GPIO Pins for EPI missing? Concerto F28M35x

Hello,

I would like to implement External Peripheral Interface (EPI) in Gerneral Purpose Mode to connect my uC with an FPGA. My problem is, that I can not find all the necessary GPIO Pins on my Evaluation Board.


I am refering to table 19-9. EPI General-Purpose Signal Connections, page 1381http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruh22g/spruh22g.pdf

There are four modes mentioned:

--- D8, A20

--- D16, A12

--- D24, A4

--- D32

I would like to use the first mode D8, A20, page 1381

(D0):  EPI0S0   ->    PH3_GPIO51, GPIO Pin 51 is on my evaluation board

(D1): EPI0S1    ->   PH2_GPIO50, GPIO Pin 50 is NOT on the evaluation board

(D2): EPI0S2    ->    PC4_GPIO68, GPIO Pin 68 is NOT on the evaluation board

(D3): EPI0S3)   ->    PC5_GPIO69, GPIO Pin 69 is on my evaluation board

(D4): EPI0S4    ->    PC6_GPIO70,  GPIO Pin 70 is NOT on the evaluation board 

(D5): EPI0S5    ->    PC7_GPIO71, GPIO Pin 71 is NOT on the evaluation board 

(D6): EPI0S6    ->    PH0_GPIO48, GPIO Pin 48 is NOT on the evaluation board, TEST PIN 18

(D7): EPI0S7    ->    PH1_GPIO49, GPIO Pin 49 is on my evaluation board

The problem is that the EPI Signals are linked to the GPIO Ports and I can´t find all the necessary GPIO Pins on my Hardware evaluation board.

Table 4.1 GPIO Pins and Alternate Function, page 338 http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruh22g/spruh22g.pdf

MY QUESTION: How can I use the EPI Inteface if I can´t find the necessary GPIO Pins on the Hardware.

Is there any opportunity to use other EPI Signals for my Data and therefore other GPIO Pins.
