Introduction
This document provides the design information on the AM335x processor based Starter Kit
(TMDSSK3358) to users.
Description
The AM335x Starter Kit (TMDSSK3358) can be used as an evaluation and development platform for
low cost AM335x based solutions and networking platforms. The embedded emulation logic allows
emulation and debug using standard development tools such as TI’s Code Composer Studio by just
using the supplied USB cable. It is not intended for use in end products. All of the design information is
freely available and can be used as the basis for the development of an AM335x based product.
EVM System View
TMDSSK3358 is partitioned into two different boards: the main board (processor, peripherals & the
main power supply) and the LCD Carrier board (LCD and touch screen). The TMDSSK3358 main
board and the LCD carrier board mounted are mounted together using 10mm standoffs. The
TMDSSK3358 main board has dimensions of 5.257” x 2.798 “and that of the LCD Carrier board is
4.963” x 2.798 “. The Top and the Bottom side views of the TMDSSK3358 are shown in the pictures
provided below.

Figure 4: TMDSSK3358 Block Diagram
Processor
The AM3358ZCZ processor is the central processor for TMDSSK3358. All the resources on the board
surround the AM3358 processor to provide development capabilities for hardware and software. See the
AM3358 datasheet and TRM for the details about the processor.
There are system configuration signals, SYSBOOT, that can be set on the EVM to define some startup
parameters on the AM335x processor. See the Configuration/Setup section later for more details.
Clocks
The main clock for the processor is derived from a 24MHz crystal. An on-board oscillator in the
AM3358 generates the base clock and subsequent module clocks as needed within the AM3358
processor. A 32kHz clock for the RTC on the AM3358 is derived from a 32kHz crystal on board.
Reset Signals
Power On Reset to the AM335x is driven by the PMIC. SYS_ WARMRESETn is a signal running to
mhtml:file://C:\Users\peggy_kraemer\Desktop\AM335xStarterKit_Web.mht
9/4/2012
AM335xStarterKitHardwareUsersGuide - Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki
Page 7 of 22
several peripherals and AM335x which performs a reset on those peripherals. SYS_WARMRESETn is
asserted by a pushbutton on the main board and is used to force a reset of the AM335x. AM335x can
also pull down on the RESET_INOUTn signal to cause the SYS_ WARMRESETn line to go active. The
RTC_PORZ reset signal for the RTC section is derived using AND Gates.
Power
The power input to TMDSSK3358 is from a 5V Power Supply. This 5V power is provided as power
input to the Power Manager TPS65910A3. The power requirements of the processor are taken care of by
the Power Manager IC TPS65910A3. The Power ON LED "D5" is ON if the PMIC output power
VAUX33 is available ( to indicate the active status of the PMIC). The power sequencing requirements
of the AM335X processor (see the AM335x datasheet) are handled automatically by the TPS65910A3
PMIC.
Note: When powering the TMDSSK3358 EVM, always use the supplied power supply (CUI/VInfinity Part Number EMSA050300-P6P-SZ, Model 3A-182WP05) or equivalent model having
output voltage of +5VDC and output current max 3.0 Amps.
Power Management IC
TMDSSK3358 uses the TPS65910A3 power management IC. The I2C0 on AM335x is used to control
the TPS65910A PMIC.
The PWRON input of PMIC is connected to an external push-button. The built-in debouncing time
defines a minimum button press duration that is required for button press detection. Any button press
duration which is lower than this value is ignored, considered an accidental touch.
For AM335x, the following power supplies from the TPS65910A are used.

port, tri speed PHY. A single 3.3V is enough to power this PHY and the other voltages required were
generated internally. Reset for both the chips are driven by the SYS_WARMRESETn signal through a
SN74LVC1G07 buffer.Both the PHYs have individual 25MHz, 50ppm crystal as their clock source. The
25MHz Clock out of the EMAC1-PHY port has been connected to the XTLI of the EMAC2-PHY as an
optional clock input.
For both the PHYs, mode selection pins MODE [3:0] are set as “0000” to operate it in 1000 BASE-T,
RGMII mode. The PHY address for the EMAC1-PHY and EMAC2-PHY are 00100 and 00101
respectively.The interrupts from the both PHYs are connected to both the Non Maskable Interrupt pin
and to the processor GPIO pins.
The Wake On LAN interrupts from the both PHYs are connected to the EXT_WAKEUP signal of the
processor as an option.

WLAN
LBEE5ZSTNC-523 Type TN WiFi / BT Module from Murata is used to provide the WLAN and the
Bluetooth connectivity for the TMDSSK3358 design. The WLAN design has IEEE802.11 b, g, n
compliance for WLAN and Version4.0 with Blue tooth Low Energy (BLE) for BT. This module
requires an external 32.768 KHz, +/-150ppm clock. This is sourced by the CLKOUT2 clock out pin of
the processor. The required digital interfaces for the module are connected to the UART1 and McASP0
ports of the processor through voltage level converters.
Note that due to a HW bug in the WiFi Antenna matching network design, customers may observe
significant degradation in throughput (15-20 Mbps - Typical) as well as reduced WiFi Range when
using the AM335x Starter Kit and COM6M module with AM335-EVM, with the onboard WiFi
Antenna.
For optimal throughput we recomend using an external Antenna as describe in the link:
Warning: To minimize risks of potential radiation hazards associated with handling and/or
moving the energized EVM including compliance with the wireless radio grant licensing
provisions, always maintain a minimum distance of 20cm measured between EVM user(s) and the
EVM antenna.
User LEDs
The Four User LEDs implemented are D1-D4 in the user panel area. These are driven by the GPIOs
from the AM335x.
All the user LEDs are green in color.
User Keys
This design has 4 user keys SW1,SW2,SW3 & SW4, three of them connected directly to the GPIO
bank2 of the processor (Keys 2,3 & 4) and one of them (Key 1) connected to the GPIO bank0 of the
processor.
Apart from the above four user keys, the design also has a button to interrupt the processor via the non
maskable interrupt pin.
