Hyperlink on 6678L EVM

rzo

Hi,

I recently purchased a 6678L EVM and started to look at the documentations. I came across an errata written by advantec ( http://wfcache.advantech.com/www/support/TI-EVM/download/TMDXEVM6678L_EVM_A101-1_Known_Issues_v0%203.pdf ) which describe an issue with the HyperLink connector. Basically, it says that the pin out is incorrect and the HyperLink cannot be used. This errata concerns EVM A101-1 version. I have the A102-1 version. Anyone knows if this issue has been fixed for the A102-1 version ?

Thanks,
LM

LM,

I believe the version number you gave is the PCB version number and not the EVM Revision Number. The EVM Revision number should be next to the HyperLink connector. If it is Revision 1.0, then it is a production board and has the fix in place. If the revision is < 1.0 then it is a Beta board and does not have the fix in place.

Best Regards,

Chad

If your EVM has a sticker that says "TMX320C6678L Rev 1.0" next to the black SAS-3 connector which are both next to the heatsink/fan, then hyperlink works.

Ok.

I've checked the sticker and I definitely have the Rev 1.0 . Glad that I have a working Hyperlink !

Thanks to every one who took the time to answer !
