HOW TO DESIGN A TMS570 BOARD

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS3137

I GOT SOME SAMPLE PART FROM TI AND DESIGNED A BOARD WITH TMS570LS3137.

I REFERENCED A BOARD FORM KEIL AND USB KIT FORM TI BUT I WHEN I PLUGGED MY JLINK, IT DID NOT WORK.

THE VOLTAGE ON nRST PIN IS NEAR 0V ALTHOUGHT I PULLED IT UP WITH A 10K RESISTOR, IT MADE JLINK LED TURN TO RED.

PLEASE HELP ME.

  • Hello Tan Dat Tran,

    It is difficult to locate the cause for this, since there are a lot of possible reasons for the faulty behaviour you see:

    1) Schematics 2) Layout / board design 3) Manufacturing of the board - soldering 4) Damaged device ...

    I do not know which schematics you used as reference, but if you want to develop a custom board based on the TMS570LS31x I would suggest you to have a look at the free available schematics for the TMS570 USB/HDK Kit. Since you already have your board I would compare your schematics with the schematics in the below mentioned links.

    You can find the schematics for both boards here:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS570LS31x_HDK_Kit

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TMS570LS31x_USB_Kit

    Under POWER and JTAG you can see how the different voltage levels are generated and how the nRST signal is connected.

    I hope this helps you to locate or narrow down the reason for the behaviour of nRST you see.

  • Please pull up Pin 46, nPORRST. We did NOT implement an internal pull up. So, you need an external 1k~3Kohm resistor pull up to 3.3 V.

    Please connect TEST pin to GND. This is not critical and should not impact the functionality. But do it in the future.

  • It works. Thank you so much !

    I forgot to pull up nPORRST. 

    I almost gave up !
