What's difference about OMAP-L138 LCDK and Experimenter Kit?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, TLV320AIC3106, TVP5147, ADS901, DAC900, THS8135

Hi

    I had a question about 138 SDK.

    There are two SDK: OMAP-L138 LCDK and Experimenter Kit, right?

    What's difference about that?

Thanks.

  • Hi Antony :

        Thanks very much!

  • Hi,

    one thing which could be a problem for someone is that the Logic PD OMAP-L138 Experimenter Kit has all important pins like GPIO, SPI, I2C, McASP, McBSP, I2S on Hirose 0.4mm pitch connectors only. 

    So actually only ADC and DAC Audio IN/OUT is available.

    And I haven't found any information about the UI board (price/availability), so there is probably no chance to buy it separately.

    Regards,

    Jiri
