Please re-review the document you posted here, I opened this version of the User's Guide but I cannot see any of those three connections you stated listed in it.

Hello Ralph,

Thanks for prompt Response.

I assumed BoosterPack connector name was sufficient.

The references J8.78, J2.17 and J5.46 are from user's guide "(J8.78-RTSn in LP but Not in schematic, J2.17 - CS in LP but Not in Schematic, J5.46 - is GPIO but NC in schematic)".

FYR,

BoosterPack Connector from Schematic, Page No: 19.

BoosterPack Connector from User's Guide, Page No: 16

here you can see that the Interface from BoosterPack are not aligned with schematic's BoosterPack

Ref  J8.78, J2.17 and J5.46 are from user's guide "(J8.78-RTSn in LP but Not in schematic, J2.17 - CS in LP but Not in Schematic, J5.46 - is GPIO but NC in schematic)"

Kindly let us know which document to follow to interface Launchpad and also which version of Launchpad to purchase.

Thank You

Abdul Razak.

Hello Abdul,

Okay so I see at least one issue but I am trying to understand the other two. I can see the NC issue on a couple figures for J5.46, so that is clear now. I was referencing Tables 4-3 through 4-6 when I gave my initial reply. Those tables seem to be accurate to the schematic.

Figure 4-2 and 4-4 seem to be outdated with regards to the J5.46 NC issue. I will flag that for correction. As Table 4-9 also clearly states that this is NC, the schematic and table should be treated as accurate.

What I am trying to understand now is the following:

J2.17 - CS in LP but Not in Schematic

Every reference I see between schematic and User Guide shows J2.17 as GPIO1_4. Figure 2-2, 2-4, Table 4-4, and Table 4-8 all confirm this. Are you perhaps noticing J2.18 which is SPI3_CS0? If not can you share the specific page where this is mislabeled?

Similarly every reference I see between schematic and User Guide shows J8.78 as TIMER_IO2. Figure 2-2, 2-4, Table 4-12, and Table 4-14 all confirm this. Same as before, can you share the specific page where this is mislabeled?

Hi Ralph,

Noted.

1. As there is conflict on document updated date and also Pin configuration in User's Guide Table with datasheet.

• FYR

datasheet is updated on 09 Jan2023.

User Guide updated on 15 May 2023

AM2434 data sheet, product information and support | TI.com

LaunchPad kit with Sitara AM243x MCU Pinout Map on 18 June 2021

LP-AM243 Evaluation board | TI.com 

• FYR.

In user's Guide; "MMC1_DAT1" has "UART4_CTSn" function but in datasheet doesn't have 

User's Guide - Table 4-12

Datasheet - Table 6-1

2. Could you provide relevant document's like User's Guide, MCU Datasheet, and Design Files. to below Launchpad details

OPN#: LP-AM243

PCB#: PROC109E3

SL#: 06221090502.
