I found an AM437x Starter Kit EVM but cannot find any documentation?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDEP0016, TIDEP0013, TIDEP0012

I was at a flee market and this guy had all this older TI stuff and sold me this board for $10.  I recognized the processor and thought it was a steal.

I got it home and couldn't find anything about it except for one lonely pdf link and a form post about how this board won't come out till 2Q15  

The board didn't have the LCD/touch on it but I found availability off Digi-Key.  It seems to work as I managed to get the sitara_linux_sdk_am437x image to boot.  It has an empty i2c eeprom and I cannot get the jtag out of reset state.

So my question is if anything is available for it?  Gel files, the like?  Maybe a beta program I can sign up for?  I am an amateur but have build my own Linux kernel before and the development tools seem good enough for me to try to get android to boot off it.

    Hi, the AM437x Starter Kit is not released yet hence not supported. You will find a few TI designs based on it (TIDEP0012, TIDEP0013, TIDEP0016) but the board is not available yet.

    Well drat. Is there any way of getting hold of even a beta uboot image or at the very least the settings so I can build one? Without the jtag board file I have to compile a different uboot and move it over to the SD card to test:P Really appreciate it and it justify me getting the screen for it:)

    As a side question, each of those links looks exactly like the board I have. Are there difference prices for each of these boards or will they all cost the same? I am guessing the cost of this board will be around the $200-250 mark when it comes out but could be wrong.

    Not even if I sign an NDA?:)  Ah well thanks for your help, managed to get the right board number in the i2c chip and it boots a uImage:)  All I wanted.  Now I can order the screen.
