Boot options¶
Section 5 of the AM62x TRM discusses the initialization process in detail. Here we will talk about how this process is implemented on the Critical Link MitySOM-AM62x. The MitySOM-AM62x brings all 16 of the boot mode pins out to the edge connector.
| Signal | BM00 | BM01 | BM02 | BM03 | BM04 | BM05 | BM06 | BM07 | BM08 | BM09 | BM10 | BM11 | BM12 | BM13 | BM14 | BM15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pin | 154 | 148 | 150 | 152 | 156 | 144 | 146 | 142 | 155 | 157 | 153 | 149 | 151 | 147 | 145 | 143 |
As these signals are pin-muxed with other functions, care must be taken with regard to pull-up resistors and any signal integrity requirements imposed by the other functions, if used.
Critical Link Evaluation Board Boot Settings¶
The Critical Link MitySoM-AM62xx Development Board (CLPN 80-001617) provides an array of interfaces capable of supporting booting the AM-62x module.
| Boot source configurations | |
