Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDXSK437X, AM4376, , TPS5402
There is TMDSIDK437X and TMDXSK437X as EVMs for AM4376, and I’ll be calling those as IDK and starter kit, respectively.
- Powering
- IDK: It seems to be impossible to shut down IDK by either HW switch nor the SW. Is it correct?
- If the above is correct, is there anyway to implement powering up/ shutting down functions by SW?
- If motor driver would not be used/connected, can the customer only use 5VDC?
- Starter kit: There is a HW powering switch, but is there SW functions for powering up/ shutting down?
- If there is no such SW functions as default, is it possible to implement?
- When using with Linux SDK (for starter kit) or RT Linux SDK (for IDK), is the default setting would be writing from SD card?
- For both IDK and starter kit, can external SRAM be connected?
- IDK: It seems to be impossible to shut down IDK by either HW switch nor the SW. Is it correct?
There are some functions related to power saving that AM574x does not support, such as core domain suspend/resume, idle mode and single core operation.
Is there any idea that would enable power saving using AM4376, especially that was not supported by AM574x?
