[FAQ] AM625-Q1 / AM620-Q1 Custom board hardware design - Design and Review notes for Reuse of SK-AM62-LP Schematics

Hi Board designers, 

Good to hear on your plan to reuse the SK-AM62-LP schematics to design the custom board.

Refer below note:

Always refer to the latest design files, for  AM62x Refer SK-AM62B, SK-AM62B-P1 and AM62-LP SKs

Refer below recommendations or guidelines for custom board schematic design improvement.

1. Schematics Reuse guidelines:

 Refer below FAQ

2. Notes (D-Note, R-Note and Cad Note) for Board designers

The Schematic has a number of D-Note(s), R-Note(s) and Cad Note(s) added. Ensure you read through these notes before start of the board design during initial architecture stage, during the design and before board fabrication and build.

D-Note (Design note) - The design notes provide guidelines for design improvements and optimization. Review the design notes carefully and make the required updates.

R-Note (Review Note) - The review notes provide guidelines to review the design to ensure the required components are populated and the design follow the data sheet recommendations. Use this along with the hardware design guide and schematic design check list.

Cad Note: Guidelines for layout 

Note: We have many of the Value changes, D-Note, R-Note and Cad note updated and some of the edits is in progress.

Refer below schematics:

Additional Files to support custom design

The Apps team is working internally to have these files uploaded on TI.COM GPN folder for all the AM62x devices. 

Recommending checking the AM62x product folder for updates 

Pinmux sysconfig

am62_sk_lp.syscfg

Pin Attributes 

AM62X_pin_attributes_rev_B1.xls

3. Schematics Updates 

There are few component values and mounting option changes that have been made in the schematics. We are working on the list of changes and will add to this FAQ.

4.Schematics review summary checklist  

TBD
