The following interfaces are currently working: * SD-Card * eMMC * RTC * EEPROM * I2C * Ethernet * USB 2.0 * USB 3.0 * PCIe **Known Issues** ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * **USB 3.0**: If a USB 3.0-capable device is connected at boot time, it may initialize in USB 2.0 mode instead of USB 3.0. **Workaround:** Unplug and replug the USB device after the system has fully booted to ensure USB 3.0 operation. Software Versioning ------------------- The |local-release-name| software release is largely based off of |vendor|'s |local-ti-sdk-version| Processor SDK Linux release and shares much of the same components and features. .. list-table:: Software Versioning :widths: 50 50 50 :stub-columns: 1 * - Tested Build Environment - Ubuntu 22.04 - `Ubuntu 22.04 Release Downloads `_ * - Linux Kernel - |local-kernel-version| (tag: |local-kernel-tag|) - |local-kernel-repo| * - U-Boot Bootloader - |local-uboot-version| (tag: |local-uboot-tag|) - |local-uboot-repo| * - Yocto - |local-yocto-version| (tag: |local-yocto-tag|) - |local-yocto-repo| Part Number Summary ------------------- .. list-table:: Hardware Summary :widths: 25 25 25 25 :header-rows: 1 * - Part Number - Hardware Description - Configuration Details (SOC / LPDDR4 / eMMC / NOR / Ethernet PHY / RTC / Temperature) - PCB Version * - PCM-080.A0 - |product| SOM - AM6754 / 4GB / 32GB eMMC / 64MB OSPI NOR / Yes / Yes / Industrial - 1623.0 * - PBA-C-36.A0 - phyBOARD-Rigel AM67x (phyCORE-AM67x Carrier Board) - - 1624.0 .. list-table:: Kit Summary :widths: 33 33 33 :header-rows: 1 * - Part Number - Yocto MACHINE - Hardware Description * - |local-default-kit| - phyboard-rigel-am67xx-1 - PCM-080.A0 + PBA-C-36.A0 **(Default Kit)** Supported Builds ---------------- This release supports multiple builds for different kits, Yocto images and distribution. The follow table lists all supported builds.

Linux Device Tree Summary ------------------------- This is a summary of how the device tree source files (.dts) and the various include files (.dtsi) are broken down in the kernel. These files describe the hardware in a hierarchical and modular way to the kernel, connecting device drivers to the interfaces brought out by the carrier board. .. list-table:: Linux Device Tree Summary :widths: 25 50 25 :header-rows: 1 * - Hardware Target - Device Tree File Descriptions - Filename * - |local-default-kit| **(Default Kit)** - Default Device Tree (includes the other .dtsi files below) - k3-am6754-phyboard-rigel.dts * - - Processor .dtsi - This file adds general support for the AM67x (Jacinto J722S) Processor from Texas Instruments - k3-j722s.dtsi * - - SOM .dtsi- This file adds support for your specific SOM's population options - k3-am67-phycore-som.dtsi If designing your own custom carrier board around the |product| SOM, you will eventually define a custom device tree for your board that includes the .dtsi file for the SOM, which PHYTEC has provided for you. All the BSP changes custom for your application should eventually be consolidated into its own Meta Layer. Supported Boot Sources ---------------------- The |product| allows to load a bootloader from different kind of sources. .. list-table:: Boot Source Summary :widths: 25 25 50 :header-rows: 1 * - Boot Source - Status - Notes * - SD-Card - **Supported** - * - eMMC - **Supported** - * - QSPI/OSPI-Nor Flash - Unsupported - * - Ethernet - Unsupported - Eth0 (X7) * - USB/DFU - Unsupported - USB-C (X9) * - UART - Unsupported - Console UART Debug (x5) or Header (x6) - Can't boot Linux via UART.
