Part Number: TDA4VM

Hello,

I have downloaded the design files:

What am I looking at? which one is for my board?

Br, Mircea

  • We have started placing the below README in some release packages, not sure everything has been updated yet.  Here is the naming structure:

    The package file may contain data for multiple board revisions. The
    naming convention is as follows for PROCxyzEwq_RP where
    - PROC: Indicates TI's Processor Product
    - xyz: Unique ID for this Evaluation Board
    - E: E indicates Pre-Production, blank for Production
    - wq: Indicates Revision (w - Major, blank/q - Minor)
    Pre-Production: 'E' + Num + Letter
    ex. E1, E2, E2a, E3, etc.
    Production: Letter + Number
    ex. A, A1, A2, B, C, etc.
    - _RP: Release Package Notation

    The Common Processor board (J721EXCPXEVM) is PROC079.  Latest revision would be A...so PROC079A_RP

    The Processor SOM board (J721EXSOMXEVM) is PROC078.  Latest revision would be A..so PROC078A_RP

  • This is clear, how about these files? what are they?
