1.0 Introduction

This document is the System Reference Manual for the BeagleBone Black and covers its use and design. The board will primarily be referred to in the remainder of this document simply as the board, although it may also be referred to as the BeagleBone Black as a reminder. There are also references to the original BeagleBone as well, and will be referenced as simply BeagleBone.

This design is subject to change without notice as we will work to keep improving the design as the product matures based on feedback and experience. Software updates will be frequent and will be independent of the hardware revisions and as such not result in a change in the revision number.

Make sure you check the support Wiki frequently for the most up to date information.

Board Changes

1. [[_bookmark7]][[bookmark7]]**Rev C** * Changed the eMMC from 2GB to 4GB. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2GB devices are getting harder to get as they are being phased out. This required us to move to 4GB. We now have two sources for the device. This will however, require an increase in the price of the board. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark8]][[bookmark8]]**Rev B** * Changed the processor to the AM3358BZCZ100. 1. [[_bookmark9]][[bookmark9]]**Rev A6A** ** Added connection from 32KHz OSC_GND to system ground and changed C106 to 1uF. ** Changes C25 to 2.2uF. This resolved an issue we were seeing in a few boards where the board would not boot in 1 in 20 tries. ** Change required PCB revision to B6. 2. [[_bookmark10]][[bookmark10]]**Rev A6** ** In random instances there could be a glitch in the SYS_RESETn signal from the processor where the SYS_RESETn signal was taken high for a momentary amount of time before it was supposed to. To prevent this, the signal was ORed with the PORZn (Power On reset). ** Noise issues were observed in other design where the clock oscillator was getting hit due to a suspected issue in ground bounce. A zero ohm resistor was added to connect the OSC_GND to the system ground. _____________________________________________________________ There are no new features added as a result of these changes. _____________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark11]][[bookmark11]]**Rev A5C** ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We were seeing some fallout in production test where we were seeing some jitter on the HDMI display test. It started showing up on out second production run. R46, R47, R48 were changed to 0 ohm from 33 ohm. R45 was taken from 330 ohm to 22 ohm. We do not know of any boards that were shipped with this issue as this issue was caught in production test. No impact on features or functionality resulted from this change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-10]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ 1. [[_bookmark12]][[bookmark12]]**Rev A5B** _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There is no operational difference between the Rev A5A and the Rev A5B. There were two changes made to the A5B version. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Due to complaints about the brightness of the LEDs keeping people awake at night, the LEDs were dimmed. Resistors were changed from 820 ohms to 4.75K ohms. * The PCB revision was updated to incorporate the hand mod that was being done on the board during manufacturing. The resistor was incorporated into the next revision of the PCB. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The highest supported resolution is now listed as 1920x1080@24Hz. This was not a result of any hardware changes but only updated software. The A5A version also supports this resolution. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark13]][[bookmark13]]**Rev A5A** _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is the initial production release of the board.

It has been equipped with a minimum set of features to allow the user to experience the power of the processor and is not intended as a full development platform as many of the features and interfaces supplied by the processor are not accessible from the BeagleBone Black via onboard support of some interfaces. It is not a complete product designed to do any particular function. It is a foundation for experimentation and learning how to program the processor and to access the peripherals by the creation of your own software and hardware. It also offers access to many of the interfaces and allows for the use of add-on boards called capes, to add many different combinations of features. A user may also develop their own board or add their own circuitry. BeagleBone Black is manufactured and warranted by Circuitco LLC in Richardson Texas for the benefit of the community and its supporters. In addition, Circuitco provides the RMA support for the BeagleBone Black. Jason Kridner of Texas Instruments handles the community promotions and is the spokesman for BeagleBoard.org. The board is designed by Gerald Coley, an employee of Texas Instruments and a charter member of the BeagleBoard.org community. The PCB layout was done by Circuitco and Circuitco is the sole funder of its development and transition to production. The Software is written and supported by the thousands of community members, including Jason Kridner, employees of Texas Instruments, DigiKey, and Circuitco. . ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-22]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ [[beaglebone-compatibility]] BeagleBone Compatibility ++++++++++++++++++++++++ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The board is intended to be compatible with the original BeagleBone as much as possible. There are several areas where there are differences between the two designs. These differences are listed below, along with the reasons for the differences. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Sitara AM3358BZCZ100, 1GHZ, processor. ** Sorry, we just had to make it faster. * 512MB DDR3L ** _Cost reduction_ ** Performance boost ** Memory size increase ** Lower power * No Serial port by default. ** _Cost reduction_ ** Can be added by buying a TTL to USB Cable that is widely available ** Single largest cost reduction action taken * No JTAG emulation over USB. ** _Cost reduction._ JTAG header is not populated, but can easily be mounted. * EEPROM Reduced from 32KB to 4KB ** Cost Reduction * Onboard Managed NAND (eMMC) ** 4GB ** _Cost reduction_ ** Performance boost x8 vs. x4 bits ** Performance boost due to deterministic properties vs. microSD card * GPMC bus may not be accessible from the expansion headers in some cases ** Result of eMMC on the main board ** Signals are still routed to the expansion connector ** If eMMC is not used, signals can be used via expansion if eMMC is held in reset * There may be 10 less GPIO pins available ** Result of eMMC ** If eMMC is not used, could still be used * The power expansion header, for battery and backlight, has been removed ** __Cost reduction, s__pace reduction ** Four pins were added to provide access to the battery charger function. * HDMI interface onboard ** Feature addition ** Audio and video capable ** Micro HDMI * No three function USB cable ** _Cost reduction_ * GPIO3_21 has a 24.576 MHZ clock on it.

We needed to run a clock into the processor to generate the correct clock frequency. The pin on the processor was already routed to the expansion header. In order not to remove this feature on the expansion header, it was left connected. In order to use the pin as a GPIO pin, you need to disable the clock. While this disables audio to the HDMI, the fact that you want to use this pin for something else, does the same thing.

[[_bookmark54]][[bookmark54]]**512MB DDR3L** _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A single 256Mb x16 DDR3L 4Gb (512MB) memory device is used. The memory used is is one of two devices: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ * MT41K256M16HA-125 from Micron * D2516EC4BXGGB from Kingston ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It will operate at a clock frequency of 400MHz yielding an effective rate of 800MHZ on the DDR3L bus allowing for 1.6GB/S of DDR3L memory bandwidth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark55]][[bookmark55]]**4KB EEPROM** ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A single 4KB EEPROM is provided on I2C0 that holds the board information. This information includes board name, serial number, and revision information. This is the not the same as the one used on the original BeagleBone. The device was changed for cost reduction reasons. It has a test point to allow the device to be programmed and otherwise to provide write protection when not grounded. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark56]][[bookmark56]]**4GB Embedded MMC** ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A single 4GB embedded MMC (eMMC) device is on the board. The device connects to the MMC1 port of the processor, allowing for 8bit wide access. Default boot mode for the board will be MMC1 with an option to change it to MMC0, the SD card slot, for booting from the SD card as a result of removing and reapplying the power to the board. Simply pressing the reset button will not change the boot mode. MMC0 cannot be used in 8Bit mode because the lower data pins are located on the pins used by the Ethernet port. This does not interfere with SD card operation but it does make it unsuitable for use as an eMMC port if the 8 bit feature is needed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark57]][[bookmark57]]**MicroSD Connector** __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The board is equipped with a single microSD connector to act as the secondary boot source for the board and, if selected as such, can be the primary boot source. The connector will support larger capacity microSD cards. The microSD card is not provided with the board. Booting from MMC0 will be used to flash the eMMC in the production environment or can be used by the user to update the SW as needed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark58]][[bookmark58]]**Boot Modes** ________________________________________________ As mentioned earlier, there are four boot modes: ________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-29]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

*Reference Manual *

eMMC Boot…This is the default boot mode and will allow for the fastest boot time and will enable the board to boot out of the box using the pre-flashed OS image without having to purchase an microSD card or an microSD card writer.
SD Boot…This mode will boot from the microSD slot. This mode can be used to override what is on the eMMC device and can be used to program the eMMC when used in the manufacturing process or for field updates.
Serial Boot…This mode will use the serial port to allow downloading of the software direct. A separate USB to serial cable is required to use this port.
USB Boot…This mode supports booting over the USB port.

Software to support USB and serial boot modes is not provided by beagleboard.org.

Please contact TI for support of this feature.

A switch is provided to allow switching between the modes.

Holding the boot switch down during a removal and reapplication of power without a microSD card inserted will force the boot source to be the USB port and if nothing is detected on the USB client port, it will go to the serial port for download.
Without holding the switch, the board will boot try to boot from the eMMC. If it is empty, then it will try booting from the microSD slot, followed by the serial port, and then the USB port.
If you hold the boot switch down during the removal and reapplication of power to the board, and you have a microSD card inserted with a bootable image, the board will boot from the microSD card.

NOTE: Pressing the RESET button on the board will NOT result in a change of the boot mode. You MUST remove power and reapply power to change the boot mode. The boot pins are sampled during power on reset from the PMIC to the processor. The reset button on the board is a warm reset only and will not force a boot mode change.

Power Management

The TPS65217C power management device is used along with a separate LDO to provide power to the system. The TPS65217C version provides for the proper voltages required for the DDR3L. This is the same device as used on the original BeagleBone with the exception of the power rail configuration settings which will be changed in the internal EEPROM to the TPS65217C to support the new voltages.

DDR3L requires 1.5V instead of 1.8V on the DDR2 as is the case on the original BeagleBone. The 1.8V regulator setting has been changed to 1.5V for the DDR3L. The

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Reference Manual * LDO3 3.3V rail has been changed to 1.8V to support those rails on the processor. LDO4 is still 3.3V for the 3.3V rails on the processor. An external *LDOTLV70233* provides the 3.3V rail for the rest of the board. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[pc-usb-interface]] PC USB Interface ++++++++++++++++ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The board has a miniUSB connector that connects the USB0 port to the processor. This is the same connector as used on the original BeagleBone. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[serial-debug-port]] Serial Debug Port +++++++++++++++++ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Serial debug is provided via UART0 on the processor via a single 1x6 pin header. In order to use the interface a USB to TTL adapter will be required. The header is compatible with the one provided by FTDI and can be purchased for about $12 to $20 from various sources. Signals supported are TX and RX. None of the handshake signals are supported. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[usb1-host-port]] USB1 Host Port ++++++++++++++ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the board is a single USB Type A female connector with full LS/FS/HS Host support that connects to USB1 on the processor. The port can provide power on/off control and up to 500mA of current at 5V. Under USB power, the board will not be able to supply the full 500mA, but should be sufficient to supply enough current for a lower power USB device supplying power between 50 to 100mA. You can use a wireless keyboard/mouse configuration or you can add a HUB for standard keyboard and mouse interfacing. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[power-sources]] Power Sources +++++++++++++ _____________________________________________________ The board can be powered from four different sources: _____________________________________________________ * A USB port on a PC * A 5VDC 1A power supply plugged into the DC connector. * A power supply with a USB connector. * Expansion connectors ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The USB cable is shipped with each board. This port is limited to 500mA by the Power Management IC. It is possible to change the settings in the *TPS65217C* to increase this current, but only after the initial boot. And, at that point the PC most likely will complain, but you can also use a dual connector USB cable to the PC to get to 1A. The power supply is not provided with the board but can be easily obtained from numerous sources. A 1A supply is sufficient to power the board, but if there is a cape ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-31]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

*Reference Manual *

plugged into the board or you have a power hungry device or hub plugged into the host port, then more current may needed from the DC supply.

Power routed to the board via the expansion header could be provided from power derived on a cape. The DC supply should be well regulated and 5V +/-.25V.

Reset Button

When pressed and released, causes a reset of the board. The reset button used on the BeagleBone Black is a little larger than the one used on the original BeagleBone. It has also been moved out to the edge of the board so that it is more accessible.

Power Button

A power button is provided near the reset button close to the Ethernet connector. This button takes advantage of the input to the PMIC for power down features. While a lot of capes have a button, it was decided to add this feature to the board to ensure everyone had access to some new features. These features include:

Interrupt is sent to the processor to facilitate an orderly shutdown to save files and to un-mount drives.
Provides ability to let processor put board into a sleep mode to save power.
Can alert processor to wake up from sleep mode and restore state before sleep was entered.

If you hold the button down longer than 8 seconds, the board will power off if you release the button when the power LED turns off. If you continue to hold it, the board will power back up completing a power cycle.

We recommend that you use this method to power down the board. It will also help prevent contamination of the SD card or the eMMC.

If you do not remove the power jack, you can press the button again and the board will power up.

Indicators

There are a total of five blue LEDs on the board.

One blue power LED indicates that power is applied and the power management IC is up. If this LED flashes when applying power, it means that an excess current flow was detected and the PMIC has shut down.
Four blue LEDs that can be controlled via the SW by setting GPIO pins.

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Reference Manual * In addition, there are two LEDs on the RJ45 to provide Ethernet status indication. One is yellow (100M Link up if on) and the other is green (Indicating traffic when flashing). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[cti-jtag-header]] CTI JTAG Header +++++++++++++++ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A place for an optional 20 pin CTI JTAG header is provided on the board to facilitate the SW development and debugging of the board by using various JTAG emulators. This header is not supplied standard on the board. To use this, a connector will need to be soldered onto the board. If you need the JTAG connector you can solder it on yourself. No other components are needed. The connector is made by Samtec and the part number is FTR-110-03-G-D-06. You can purchase it from http://www.digikey.com/[_www.digikey.com_.] _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[hdmi-interface]] HDMI Interface ++++++++++++++ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A single HDMI interface is connected to the 16 bit LCD interface on the processor. The 16b interface was used to preserve as many expansion pins as possible to allow for use by the user. The NXP TDA19988BHN is used to convert the LCD interface to HDMI and convert the audio as well. The signals are still connected to the expansion headers to enable the use of LCD expansion boards or access to other functions on the board as needed. The HDMI device does not support HDCP copy protection. Support is provided via EDID to allow the SW to identify the compatible resolutions. Currently the following resolutions are supported via the software: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * 1280 x 1024 * 1440 x 900 * 1024 x 768 * 1280 x 720 1. [[cape-board-support]] Cape Board Support ++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The BeagleBone Black has the ability to accept up to four expansion boards or capes that can be stacked onto the expansion headers. The word cape comes from the shape of the board as it is fitted around the Ethernet connector on the main board. This notch acts as a key to ensure proper orientation of the cape. The majority of capes designed for the original BeagleBone will work on the BeagleBone Black. The two main expansion headers will be populated on the board. There are a few exceptions where certain capabilities may not be present or are limited to the BeagleBone Black. These include: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-33]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

Reference Manual

GPMC bus may NOT be available due to the use of those signals by the eMMC. If the eMMC is used for booting only and the file system is on the microSD card, then these signals could be used.
Another option is to use the microSD or serial boot modes and not use the eMMC.
The power expansion header is not on the BeagleBone Black so those functions are not supported.

For more information on cape support refer to Section 9.0.

Power Section

Figure 21 is the high level block diagram of the power section of the board.

Figure 21. High Level Power Block Diagram

This section describes the power section of the design and all the functions performed by the

TPS65217C.

TPS65217C PMIC

The main Power Management IC (PMIC) in the system is the TPS65217C which is a single chip power management IC consisting of a linear dual-input power path, three step-down converters, and four LDOs. LDO stands for Low Drop Out. If you want to know more about an LDO, you can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low- dropout_regulator. If you want to learn more about step-down converters, you can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-to-DC_converter

The system is supplied by a USB port or DC adapter. Three high-efficiency 2.25MHz step-down converters are targeted at providing the core voltage, MPU, and memory voltage for the board.

The step-down converters enter a low power mode at light load for maximum efficiency across the widest possible range of load currents. For low-noise applications the devices can be forced into fixed frequency PWM using the I2C interface. The step-down converters allow the use of small inductors and capacitors to achieve a small footprint solution size.

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Reference Manual * LDO1 and LDO2 are intended to support system standby mode. In normal operation, they can support up to 100mA each. LDO3 and LDO4 can support up to 285mA each. By default only LDO1 is always ON but any rail can be configured to remain up in SLEEP state. In particular the DCDC converters can remain up in a low-power PFM mode to support processor suspend mode. The *TPS65217C* offers flexible power-up and power-down sequencing and several house-keeping functions such as power-good output, pushbutton monitor, hardware reset function and temperature sensor to protect the battery.

TPS65217 DC Connection** A 5VDC supply can be used to provide power to the board. The power supply current depends on how many and what type of add-on boards are connected to the board. For typical use, a 5VDC supply rated at 1A should be sufficient. If heavier use of the expansion headers or USB host port is expected, then a higher current supply will be required. The connector used is a 2.1MM center positive x 5.5mm outer barrel. The 5VDC rail is connected to the expansion header. It is possible to power the board via the expansion headers from an add-on card. The 5VDC is also available for use by the add-on cards when the power is supplied by the 5VDC jack on the board. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-39]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

USB Power

The board can also be powered from the USB port. A typical USB port is limited to 500mA max. When powering from the USB port, the VDD_5V rail is not provided to the expansion headers, so capes that require the 5V rail to supply the cape direct, bypassing the TPS65217C, will not have that rail available for use. The 5VDC supply from the USB port is provided on the SYS_5V, the one that comes from the TPS65217C, rail of the expansion header for use by a cape. Figure 24 is the connection of the USB power input on the PMIC.

DGND

Figure 24. USB Power Connections

Power Selection

The selection of either the 5VDC or the USB as the power source is handled internally to the TPS65217C and automatically switches to 5VDC power if both are connected. SW can change the power configuration via the I2C interface from the processor. In addition, the SW can read the TPS65217C and determine if the board is running on the 5VDC input or the USB input. This can be beneficial to know the capability of the board to supply current for things like operating frequency and expansion cards.

It is possible to power the board from the USB input and then connect the DC power supply. The board will switch over automatically to the DC input.

Power Button

A power button is connected to the input of the TPS65217C. This is a momentary switch, the same type of switch used for reset and boot selection on the board.

If you push the button the TPS65217C will send an interrupt to the processor. It is up to the processor to then pull the PMIC_POWER_EN pin low at the correct time to power

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Reference Manual * down the board. At this point, the PMIC is still active, assuming that the power input was not removed. Pressing the power button will cause the board to power up again if the processor puts the board in the power off mode. In power off mode, the RTC rail is still active, keeping the RTC powered and running off the main power input. If you remove that power, then the RTC will not be powered. You also have the option of using the battery holes on the board to connect a battery if desired as discussed in the next section. If you push and hold the button for greater than 8 seconds, the PMIC will power down. But you must release the button when the power LED turns off. Holding the button past that point will cause the board to power cycle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark82]][[bookmark82]]**Battery Access Pads** _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four pads are provided on the board to allow access to the battery pins on the *TPS65217C*. The pads can be loaded with a 4x4 header or you may just wire a battery into the pads. In addition they could provide access via a cape if desired. The four signals are listed below in *Table 3*.

DC powered and USB powered
HDMI monitor connected
USB HUB
4GB Thumbdrive
Ethernet connected @ 100M

The current will fluctuate as various activates occur, such as the LEDs on and microSD/eMMC accesses.

Processor Interfaces

The processor interacts with the TPS65217C via several different signals. Each of these signals is described below.

*I2C0*

I2C0 is the control interface between the processor and the TPS65217C. It allows the processor to control the registers inside the TPS65217C for such things as voltage scaling and switching of the input rails.

*PMC_POWR_EN*

On power up the VDD_RTC rail activates first. After the RTC circuitry in the processor has activated it instructs the TPS65217C to initiate a full power up cycle by activating the PMIC_POWR_EN signal by taking it HI. When powering down, the processor can take this pin low to start the power down process.

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ 1. _*LDO_GOOD*_ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This signal connects to the *RTC_PORZn* signal, RTC power on reset. The small “*n*” indicates that the signal is an active low signal. Word processors seem to be unable to put a bar over a word so the *n* is commonly used in electronics. As the RTC circuitry comes up first, this signal indicates that the LDOs, the 1.8V VRTC rail, is up and stable. This starts the power up process. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. _*PMIC_PGOOD*_ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Once all the rails are up, the *PMIC_PGOOD* signal goes high. This releases the *PORZn* signal on the processor which was holding the processor reset. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1. _*WAKEUP*_ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The WAKEUP signal from the *TPS65217C* is connected to the *EXT_WAKEUP* signal on the processor. This is used to wake up the processor when it is in a sleep mode. When an event is detected by the *TPS65217C,* such as the power button being pressed**,** it generates this signal. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. _*PMIC_INT*_ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The *PMIC_INT* signal is an interrupt signal to the processor. Pressing the power button will send an interrupt to the processor allowing it to implement a power down mode in an orderly fashion, go into sleep mode, or cause it to wake up from a sleep mode. All of these require SW support. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-43]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

Power Rails

Figure 25 shows the connections of each of the rails from the TPS65217C.

Figure 25. Power Rails

*VRTC Rail*

The VRTC rail is a 1.8V rail that is the first rail to come up in the power sequencing. It provides power to the RTC domain on the processor and the I/O rail of the TPS65217C. It can deliver up to 250mA maximum.

*VDD_3V3A Rail*

The VDD_3V3A rail is supplied by the TPS65217C and provides the 3.3V for the processor rails and can provide up to 400mA.

___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ 1. _*VDD_3V3B Rail*_ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The current supplied by the *VDD_3V3A* rail is not sufficient to power all of the 3.3V rails on the board. So a second LDO is supplied, U4, a *TL5209A*, which sources the *VDD_3V3B* rail. It is powered up just after the *VDD_3V3A* rail. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. _*VDD_1V8 Rail*_ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The *VDD_1V8* rail can deliver up to 400mA and provides the power required for the 1.8V rails on the processor and the HDMI framer. This rail is not accessible for use anywhere else on the board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. _*VDD_CORE Rail*_ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The *VDD_CORE* rail can deliver up to 1.2A at 1.1V. This rail is not accessible for use anywhere else on the board and connects only to the processor. This rail is fixed at 1.1V and should not be adjusted by SW using the PMIC.

*Power Sequencing*

The power up process is consists of several stages and events. Figure 26 describes the events that make up the power up process for the processer from the PMIC. This diagram is used elsewhere to convey additional information. I saw no need to bust it up into smaller diagrams. It is from the processor datasheet supplied by Texas Instruments.

*Reference Manual *

up, the RTC_PORZn pin, driven by the LDO_PGOOD signal from the TPS65217C, of the processor is released.

Once the RTC_PORZn reset is released, the processor starts the initialization process. After the RTC stabilizes, the processor launches the rest of the power up process by activating the PMIC_POWER_EN signal that is connected to the TPS65217C which starts the TPS65217C power up process.

The LDO_PGOOD signal is provided by the TPS65217C to the processor. As this signal is 1.8V from the TPS65217C by virtue of the TPS65217C VIO rail being set to 1.8V, and the RTC_PORZ signal on the processor is 3.3V, a voltage level shifter, U4, is used. Once the LDOs and switchers are up on the TPS65217C, this signal goes active releasing the processor. The LDOs on the TPS65217C are used to power the VRTC rail on the processor.

Processor Control Interface

Figure 28 above shows two interfaces between the processor and the TPS65217C used for control after the power up sequence has completed.

The first is the I2C0 bus. This allows the processor to turn on and off rails and to set the voltage levels of each regulator to supports such things as voltage scaling.

The second is the interrupt signal. This allows the TPS65217C to alert the processor when there is an event, such as when the power button is pressed. The interrupt is an open drain output which makes it easy to interface to 3.3V of the processor.

Low Power Mode Support

This section covers three general power down modes that are available. These modes are only described from a Hardware perspective as it relates to the HW design.

*RTC Only*

In this mode all rails are turned off except the VDD_RTC. The processor will need to turn off all the rails to enter this mode. The VDD_RTC staying on will keep the RTC active and provide for the wakeup interfaces to be active to respond to a wake up event.

*RTC Plus DDR*

In this mode all rails are turned off except the VDD_RTC and the VDDS_DDR, which powers the DDR3L memory. The processor will need to turn off all the rails to enter this mode. The VDD_RTC staying on will keep the RTC active and provide for the wakeup interfaces to be active to respond to a wake up event.

DDR3L Memory

The BeagleBone Black uses a single MT41K256M16HA-125 512MB DDR3L device from Micron that interfaces to the processor over 16 data lines, 16 address lines, and 14 control lines. On rev C we added the Kingston KE4CN2H5A-A58 device as a source for the DDR3L device.

The following sections provide more details on the design.

Memory Device

The design supports the standard DDR3 and DDR3L x16 devices and is built using the DDR3L. A single x16 device is used on the board and there is no support for two x8 devices. The DDR3 devices work at 1.5V and the DDR3L devices can work down to 1.35V to achieve lower power. The DDR3L comes in a 96-BALL FBGA package with

0.8 mil pitch. Other standard DDR3 devices can also be supported, but the DDR3L is the lower power device and was chosen for its ability to work at 1.5V or 1.35V. The standard frequency that the DDR3L is run at on the board is 400MHZ.

DDR3L Memory Design

Figure 32 is the schematic for the DDR3L memory device. Each of the groups of signals is described in the following lines.

Address Lines: Provide the row address for ACTIVATE commands, and the column address and auto pre-charge bit (A10) for READ/WRITE commands, to select one location out of the memory array in the respective bank. A10 sampled during a PRECHARGE command determines whether the PRECHARGE applies to one bank (A10 LOW, bank selected by BA[2:0]) or all banks (A10 HIGH). The address inputs also provide the op-code during a LOAD MODE command. Address inputs are referenced to VREFCA. A12/BC#: When enabled in the mode register (MR), A12 is sampled during READ and WRITE commands to determine whether burst chop (on-the-fly) will be performed (HIGH = BL8 or no burst chop, LOW = BC4 burst chop).

Bank Address Lines: BA[2:0] define the bank to which an ACTIVATE, READ, WRITE, or PRECHARGE command is being applied. BA[2:0] define which mode register (MR0, MR1, MR2, or MR3) is loaded during the LOAD MODE command. BA[2:0] are referenced to VREFCA.

CK and CK# Lines: are differential clock inputs. All address and control input signals are sampled on the crossing of the positive edge of CK and the negative edge of CK#. Output data strobe (DQS, DQS#) is referenced to the crossings of CK and CK#.

Clock Enable Line: CKE enables (registered HIGH) and disables (registered LOW) internal circuitry and clocks on the DRAM. The specific circuitry that is enabled/disabled is dependent upon the DDR3 SDRAM configuration and operating mode. Taking CKE

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

*Reference Manual *

LOW provides PRECHARGE power-down and SELF REFRESH operations (all banks idle) or active power-down (row active in any bank). CKE is synchronous for power- down entry and exit and for self refresh entry. CKE is asynchronous for self refresh exit. Input buffers (excluding CK, CK#, CKE, RESET#, and ODT) are disabled during power- down. Input buffers (excluding CKE and RESET#) are disabled during SELF REFRESH. CKE is referenced to VREFCA.

4GB eMMC Memory

The eMMC is a communication and mass data storage device that includes a Multi- MediaCard (MMC) interface, a NAND Flash component, and a controller on an advanced 11-signal bus, which is compliant with the MMC system specification. The nonvolatile eMMC draws no power to maintain stored data, delivers high performance across a wide range of operating temperatures, and resists shock and vibration disruption.

One of the issues faced with SD cards is that across the different brands and even within the same brand, performance can vary. Cards use different controllers and different memories, all of which can have bad locations that the controller handles. But the controllers may be optimized for reads or writes. You never know what you will be getting. This can lead to varying rates of performance. The eMMC card is a known controller and when coupled with the 8bit mode, 8 bits of data instead of 4, you get double the performance which should result in quicker boot times.

The following sections describe the design and device that is used on the board to implement this interface.

eMMC Device

The device used is one of two different devices:

Micron MTFC4GLDEA 0M WT
Kingston KE4CN2H5A-A58

The package is a 153 ball WFBGA device on both devices.

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

eMMC Circuit Design

Figure 34 is the design of the eMMC circuitry. The eMMC device is connected to the MMC1 port on the processor. MMC0 is still used for the microSD card as is currently done on the original BeagleBone. The size of the eMMC supplied is now 4GB.

The device runs at 3.3V both internally and the external I/O rails. The VCCI is an internal voltage rail to the device. The manufacturer recommends that a 1uF capacitor be attached to this rail, but a 2.2uF was chosen to provide a little margin.

Pullup resistors are used to increase the rise time on the signals to compensate for any capacitance on the board.

Figure 34. eMMC Memory Design

The pins used by the eMMC1 in the boot mode are listed below in Table 6.

Table 6. eMMC Boot Pins

For eMMC devices the ROM will only support raw mode. The ROM Code reads out raw sectors from image or the booting file within the file system and boots from it. In raw mode the booting image can be located at one of the four consecutive locations in the main area: offset 0x0 / 0x20000 (128 KB) / 0x40000 (256 KB) / 0x60000 (384 KB). For this reason, a booting image shall not exceed 128KB in size. However it is possible to

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Reference Manual * flash a device with an image greater than 128KB starting at one of the aforementioned locations. Therefore the ROM Code does not check the image size. The only drawback is that the image will cross the subsequent image boundary. The raw mode is detected by reading sectors #0, #256, #512, #768. The content of these sectors is then verified for presence of a TOC structure. In the case of a *GP Device*, a Configuration Header (CH) *must* be located in the first sector followed by a *GP header*. The CH might be void (only containing a CHSETTINGS item for which the Valid field is zero). The ROM only supports the 4-bit mode. After the initial boot, the switch can be made to 8-bit mode for increasing the overall performance of the eMMC interface. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.

Boot Configuration

The design supports two groups of boot options on the board. The user can switch between these modes via the Boot button. The primary boot source is the onboard eMMC device. By holding the Boot button, the user can force the board to boot from the microSD slot. This enables the eMMC to be overwritten when needed or to just boot an alternate image. The following sections describe how the boot configuration works.

In most applications, including those that use the provided demo distributions available from beagleboard.org, the processor-external boot code is composed of two stages. After the primary boot code in the processor ROM passes control, a secondary stage (secondary program loader — "SPL" or "MLO") takes over. The SPL stage initializes only the required devices to continue the boot process, and then control is transferred to the third stage "U-boot". Based on the settings of the boot pins, the ROM knows where to go and get the SPL and UBoot code. In the case of the BeagleBone Black, that is either eMMC or microSD based on the position of the boot switch.

Boot Configuration Design

Figure 38 shows the circuitry that is involved in the boot configuration process. On power up, these pins are read by the processor to determine the boot order. S2 is used to change the level of one bit from HI to LO which changes the boot order.

The first row in Figure 39 is the default setting. On boot, the processor will look for the eMMC on the MMC1 port first, followed by the microSD slot on MMC0, USB0 and UART0. In the event there is no microSD card and the eMMC is empty, UART0 or USB0 could be used as the board source.

If you have a microSD card from which you need to boot from, hold the boot button down. On boot, the processor will look for the SPIO0 port first, then microSD on the MMC0 port, followed by USB0 and UART0. In the event there is no microSD card and the eMMC is empty, USB0 or UART0 could be used as the board source.

*PHY_VDDCR Rail*

The PHY_VDDCR rail originates inside the LAN8710A. Filter and bypass capacitors are used to filter the rail. Only circuitry inside the LAN8710A uses this rail.

*SYS_RESET*

The reset of the LAN8710A is controlled via the SYS_RESETn signal, the main board reset line.

*Clock Signals*

A crystal is used to create the clock for the LAN8710A. The processor uses the RMII_RXCLK signal to provide the clocking for the data between the processor and the LAN8710A.

LAN8710A Mode Pins

There are mode pins on the LAN8710A that sets the operational mode for the PHY when coming out of reset. These signals are also used to communicate between the processor and the LAN8710A. As a result, these signals can be driven by the processor which can cause the PHY not to be initialized correctly. To ensure that this does not happen, three low value pull up resistors are used. Figure 43 below shows the three mode pin resistors.

HDMI Framer

The TDA19988 is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 1.4a transmitter. It is backward compatible with DVI 1.0 and can be connected to any DVI 1.0 or HDMI sink. The HDCP mode is not used in the design. The non-HDCP version of the device is used in the BeagleBone Black design.

This device provides additional embedded features like CEC (Consumer Electronic Control). CEC is a single bidirectional bus that transmits CEC over the home appliance network connected through this bus. This eliminates the need of any additional device to handle this feature. While this feature is supported in this device, as of this point, the SW to support this feature has not been implemented and is not a feature that is considered critical. It can be switched to very low power Standby or Sleep modes to save power when HDMI is not used. TDA19988 embeds I2C-bus master interface for DDC-bus communication to read EDID. This device can be controlled or configured via I2C-bus interface.

HDMI Video Processor Interface

The Figure 44 shows the connections between the processor and the HDMI framer device. There are 16 bits of display data, 5-6-5 that is used to drive the framer. The reason for 16 bits is that allows for compatibility with display and LCD capes already available on the original BeagleBone. The unused bits on the TDA19988 are tied low. In addition to the data signals are the VSYNC, HSYNC, DE, and PCLK signals that round out the video interface from the processor.

Interrupt Signal

There is a HDMI_INT signal that connects from the TDA19988 to the processor. This signal can be used to alert the processor in a state change on the HDMI interface.

Audio Interface

There is an I2S audio interface between the processor and the TDA19988. Stereo audio can be transported over the HDMI interface to an audio equipped display. In order to create the required clock frequencies, and external 24.576MHz oscillator, Y4, is used. From this clock, the processor generates the required clock frequencies for the TDA19988.

There are three signals used to pass data from the processor to the TDA19988. SCLK is the serial clock. SPI1_CS0 is the data pin to the TDA199888. SPI1_D0 is the word sync pin. These signals are configured as I2S interfaces.

Audio is limited to CEA supported resolutions. LCD panels only activate the audio in CEA modes. This is a function of the specification and is not something that can be fixed on the board via a hardware change or a software change.

In order to create the correct clock frequencies, we had to add an external 24.576MHZ oscillator. Unfortunately this had to be input into the processor using the pin previously used for GPIO3_21. In order to keep GPIO3_21 functionality, we provided a way to disable the oscillator if the need was there to use the pin on the expansion header. Figure 45 shows the oscillator circuitry.

Connectors

This section describes each of the connectors on the board.

Expansion Connectors

The expansion interface on the board is comprised of two 46 pin connectors. All signals on the expansion headers are 3.3V unless otherwise indicated.

NOTE: Do not connect 5V logic level signals to these pins or the board will be damaged.

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO ANY I/O PIN WHEN POWER IS NOT SUPPLIED TO THE BOARD. IT WILL DAMAGE THE PROCESSOR AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

NO PINS ARE TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL AFTER THE SYS_RESET LINE GOES HIGH.

Figure 50 shows the location of the expansion connectors.

Figure 50. Expansion Connector Location

The location and spacing of the expansion headers are the same as on the original BeagleBone.

REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

*Reference Manual *

Connector P9

Table 13 lists the signals on connector P9. Other signals can be connected to this connector based on setting the pin mux on the processor, but this is the default settings on power up.

There are some signals that have not been listed here. Refer to the processor documentation for more information on these pins and detailed descriptions of all of the pins listed. In some cases there may not be enough signals to complete a group of signals that may be required to implement a total interface.

The PROC column is the pin number on the processor.

The PIN column is the pin number on the expansion header.

The MODE columns are the mode setting for each pin. Setting each mode to align with the mode column will give that function on that pin.

NOTES:

In the table are the following notations:

PWR_BUT is a 5V level as pulled up internally by the TPS65217C. It is activated by pulling the signal to GND.

# Both of these signals connect to pin 41 of P11. Resistors are installed that allow for the GPIO3_20 connection to be removed by removing R221. The intent is to allow the SW to use either of these signals, one or the other, on pin 41. SW should set the unused pin in input mode when using the other pin. This allowed us to get an extra signal out to the expansion header.

@ Both of these signals connect to pin 42 of P11. Resistors are installed that allow for the GPIO3_18 connection to be removed by removing R202. The intent is to allow the SW to use either of these signals, on pin 42. SW should set the unused pin in input mode when using the other pin. This allowed us to get an extra signal out to the expansion header.

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO ANY I/O PIN WHEN POWER IS NOT SUPPLIED TO THE BOARD. IT WILL DAMAGE THE PROCESSOR AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

NO PINS ARE TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL AFTER THE SYS_RESET LINE GOES HIGH.

___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ [[cape-board-support-1]] Cape Board Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The BeagleBone Black has the ability to accept up to four expansion boards or capes that can be stacked onto the expansion headers. The word cape comes from the shape of the board as it is fitted around the Ethernet connector on the main board. This notch acts as a key to ensure proper orientation of the cape. This section describes the rules for creating capes to ensure proper operation with the BeagleBone Black and proper interoperability with other capes that are intended to co- exist with each other. Co-existence is not a requirement and is in itself, something that is impossible to control or administer. But, people will be able to create capes that operate with other capes that are already available based on public information as it pertains to what pins and features each cape uses. This information will be able to be read from the EEPROM on each cape. This section is intended as a guideline for those wanting to create their own capes. Its intent is not to put limits on the creation of capes and what they can do, but to set a few basic rules that will allow the SW to administer their operation with the BeagleBone Black. For this reason there is a lot of flexibility in the specification that we hope most people will find liberating and in the spirit of Open Source Hardware. I am sure there are others that would like to see tighter control, more details, more rules and much more order to the way capes are handled. Over time, this specification will change and be updated, so please refer to the latest version of this manual prior to designing your own capes to get the latest information. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[do-not-apply-voltage-to-any-io-pin-when-power-is-not-supplied-to-the-board.-it-will-damage-the-processor-and-void-the-warranty.]] DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO ANY I/O PIN WHEN POWER IS NOT SUPPLIED TO THE BOARD.

The Power Expansion header was removed from the BeagleBone Black and is not available.

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS SECTION AND READ CAREFULLY!!

LCD Pins

The LCD pins are used on the BeagleBone Black to drive the HDMI framer. These signals are listed in Table 15 below.

If you are using these pins for other functions, there are a few things to keep in mind:

On the HDMI Framer, these signals are all inputs so the framer will not be driving these pins.
The HDMI framer will add a load onto these pins.
There are small filter caps on these signals which could also change the operation of these pins if used for other functions.

___________________ *Reference Manual * ___________________ * When used for other functions, the HDMI framer cannot be used. * There is no way to power off the framer as this would result in the framer being powered through these input pins which would not a be a good idea. * These pins are also the *SYSBOOT* pins. DO NOT drive them before the *SYS_RESETN* signal goes high. If you do, the board may not boot because you would be changing the boot order of the processor. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In order to use these pins, the SW will need to reconfigure them to whatever function you need the pins to do. To keep power low, the HDMI framer should be put in a low power mode via the SW using the *I2C0* interface. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark197]][[bookmark197]]**eMMC Pins** ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The BeagleBone Black uses 10 pins to connect to the processor that also connect to the P8 expansion connector.

This means you must boot from the microSD slot. * If using these pins, you need to put the eMMC into reset. This requires that the eMMC be accessible from the processor in order to set the eMMC to accept the eMMC pins. * DO NOT drive the eMMC pins until the eMMC has been put into reset. This means that if you choose to use these pins, they must not drive any signal until enabled via Software. This requires a buffer or some other form of hold off function enabled by a GPIO pin on the expansion header.

*Reference Manual *

On power up, the eMMC is NOT reset. If you hold the Boot button down, this will force a boot from the microSD. This is not convenient when a cape is plugged into the board. There are two solutions to this issue:

Wipe the eMMC clean. This will cause the board to default to microSD boot. If you want to use the eMMC later, it can be reprogrammed.
You can also tie LCD_DATA2 low on the cape during boot. This will be the same as if you were holding the boot button. However, in order to prevent unforeseen issues, you need to gate this signal with RESET, when the data is sampled. After reset goes high, the signal should be removed from the pin.

BEFORE the SW reinitializes the pins, it MUST put the eMMC in reset. This is done by taking eMMC_RSTn (GPIO1_20) LOW *after* the eMMC has been put into a mode to enable the reset line. This pin does not connect to the expansion header and is accessible only on the board.

DO NOT automatically drive any conflicting pins until the SW enables it. This puts the SW in control to ensure that the eMMC is in reset before the signals are used from the cape. You can use a GPIO pin for this. No, we will not designate a pin for this function. It will be determined on a cape by cape basis by the designer of the respective cape.

EEPROM

Each cape must have its own EEPROM containing information that will allow the SW to identify the board and to configure the expansion headers pins as needed. The one exception is proto boards intended for prototyping. They may or may not have an EEPROM on them. An EEPROM is required for all capes sold in order for them operate correctly when plugged into the BeagleBone Black.

The address of the EEPROM will be set via either jumpers or a dipswitch on each expansion board. Figure 61 below is the design of the EEPROM circuit.

The EEPROM used is the same one as is used on the BeagleBone and the BeagleBone Black, a CAT24C256. The CAT24C256 is a 256 kb Serial CMOS EEPROM, internally organized as 32,768 words of 8 bits each. It features a 64−byte page write buffer and supports the Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz) and Fast−Plus (1 MHz) I2C protocol.

The addressing of this device requires two bytes for the address which is not used on smaller size EEPROMs, which only require only one byte. Other compatible devices may be used as well. Make sure the device you select supports 16 bit addressing. The part package used is at the discretion of the cape designer.

EEPROM Address

In order for each cape to have a unique address, a board ID scheme is used that sets the address to be different depending on the setting of the dipswitch or jumpers on the capes. A two position dipswitch or jumpers is used to set the address pins of the EEPROM.

It is the responsibility of the user to set the proper address for each board and the position in the stack that the board occupies has nothing to do with which board gets first choice on the usage of the expansion bus signals. The process for making that determination and resolving conflicts is left up to the SW and, as of this moment in time, this method is a something of a mystery due to the new Device Tree methodology introduced in the 3.8 kernel.

Address line A2 is always tied high. This sets the allowable address range for the expansion cards to 0x54 to 0x57. All other I2C addresses can be used by the user in the design of their capes. But, these addresses must not be used other than for the board EEPROM information. This also allows for the inclusion of EEPROM devices on the cape if needed without interfering with this EEPROM. It requires that A2 be grounded on the EEPROM not used for cape identification.

*Reference Manual *

I2C Bus

The EEPROMs on each expansion board are connected to I2C2 on connector P9 pins 19 and 20. For this reason I2C2 must always be left connected and should not be changed by SW to remove it from the expansion header pin mux settings. If this is done, the system will be unable to detect the capes.

The I2C signals require pullup resistors. Each board must have a 5.6K resistor on these signals. With four capes installed this will result in an effective resistance of 1.4K if all capes were installed and all the resistors used were exactly 5.6K. As more capes are added the resistance is reduced to overcome capacitance added to the signals. When no capes are installed the internal pullup resistors must be activated inside the processor to prevent I2C timeouts on the I2C bus.

The I2C2 bus may also be used by capes for other functions such as I/O expansion or other I2C compatible devices that do not share the same address as the cape EEPROM.

EEPROM Write Protect

The design in Figure 62 has the write protect disabled. If the write protect is not enabled, this does expose the EEPROM to being corrupted if the I2C2 bus is used on the cape and the wrong address written to. It is recommended that a write protection function be implemented and a Test Point be added that when grounded, will allow the EEPROM to be written to. To enable write operation, Pin 7 of the EEPROM must be tied to ground. When not grounded, the pin is HI via pullup resistor R210 and therefore write protected. Whether or not Write Protect is provided is at the discretion of the cape designer.

Pin Usage

Table 18 is the locations in the EEPROM to set the I/O pin usage for the cape. It contains the value to be written to the Pad Control Registers. Details on this can be found in section 9.2.2 of the AM3358 Technical Reference Manual, The table is left blank as a convenience and can be printed out and used as a template for creating a custom setting for each cape. The 16 bit integers and all 16 bit fields are to be stored in Big Endian format.

Bit 15 PIN USAGE is an indicator and should be a 1 if the pin is used or 0 if it is unused.

Bits 14-7 RESERVED is not to be used and left as 0.

Bit 6 SLEW CONTROL 0=Fast 1=Slow

Bit 5 RX Enabled 0=Disabled 1=Enabled

Bit 4 PU/PD 0=Pulldown 1=Pullup.

Bit 3 PULLUP/DN 0=Pullup/pulldown enabled

1= Pullup/pulldown disabled

Bit 2-0 MUX MODE SELECT Mode 0-7. (refer to TRM)

Refer to the TRM for proper settings of the pin MUX mode based on the signal selection to be used.

The AIN0-6 pins do not have a pin mux setting, but they need to be set to indicate if each of the pins is used on the cape. Only bit 15 is used for the AIN signals.

Pin Usage Consideration

This section covers things to watch for when hooking up to certain pins on the expansion headers.

Boot Pins

There are 16 pins that control the boot mode of the processor that are exposed on the expansion headers. Figure 63 below shows those signals as they appear on the BeagleBone Black.:

VDD_3V3A

DGND

If you plan to use any of these signals, then on power up, these pins should not be driven. If you do, it can affect the boot mode of the processor and could keep the processor from booting or working correctly.

If you are designing a cape that is intended to be used as a boot source, such as a NAND board, then you should drive the pins to reconfigure the boot mode, but only at reset. After the reset phase, the signals should not be driven to allow them to be used for the

It is allowed to only populate the pins you need. As this is a non-stacking configuration, there is no need for all headers to be populated. This can also reduce the overall cost of the cape. This decision is up to the cape designer.

For convenience listed in Table 19 are some possible choices for part numbers on this connector. They have varying pin lengths and some may be more suitable than others for your use. It should be noted, that the longer the pin and the further it is inserted into the BeagleBone Black connector, the harder it will be to remove due to the tension on 92 pins. This can be minimized by using shorter pins or removing those pins that are not used by your particular design. The first item in Table 18 is on the edge and may not be the best solution. Overhang is the amount of the pin that goes past the contact point of the connector on the BeagleBone Black

Stacked Capes w/Signal Stealing

Figure 68 is the connector configuration for stackable capes that does not provide all of the signals upwards for use by other boards. This is useful if there is an expectation that other boards could interfere with the operation of your board by exposing those signals for expansion. This configuration consists of a combination of the stacking and non- stacking style connectors.

Retention Force

The length of the pins on the expansion header has a direct relationship to the amount of force that is used to remove a cape from the BeagleBone Black. The longer the pins extend into the connector the harder it is to remove. There is no rule that says that if longer pins are used, that the connector pins have to extend all the way into the mating connector on the BeagleBone Black, but this is controlled by the user and therefore is hard to control. We have also found that if you use gold pins, while more expensive, it makes for a smoother finish which reduces the friction.

This section will attempt to describe the tradeoffs and things to consider when selecting a connector and its pin length.

BeagleBone Black Female Connectors

Figure 69 shows the key measurements used in calculating how much the pin extends past the contact point on the connector, what we call overhang.

Connector Pin Insertion Depth** To calculate the amount of the pin that extends past the Point of Contact, use the following formula: Overhang=Total Pin Length- PCB thickness (.062) - contact point (.079) The longer the pin extends past the contact point, the more force it will take to insert and remove the board. Removal is a greater issue than the insertion. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[signal-usage]] Signal Usage ++++++++++++ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Based on the pin muxing capabilities of the processor, each expansion pin can be configured for different functions. When in the stacking mode, it will be up to the user to ensure that any conflicts are resolved between multiple stacked cards. When stacked, the first card detected will be used to set the pin muxing of each pin. This will prevent other modes from being supported on stacked cards and may result in them being inoperative. In *Section 7.1* of this document, the functions of the pins are defined as well as the pin muxing options. Refer to this section for more information on what each pin is. To simplify things, if you use the default name as the function for each pin and use those functions, it will simplify board design and reduce conflicts with other boards. Interoperability is up to the board suppliers and the user. This specification does not specify a fixed function on any pin and any pin can be used to the full extent of the functionality of that pin as enabled by the processor. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [[ref-bboneblk_srm-beaglebone-black-system-rev-c.1-102]] image:media2/media/image1.png[image,width=194,height=34]image:media2/media/image2.jpeg[image,width=172,height=27]REF: BBONEBLK_SRM BeagleBone Black System Rev C.1

Cape Power

This section describes the power rails for the capes and their usage.

Main Board Power

The Table 1 describes the voltages from the main board that are available on the expansion connectors and their ratings. All voltages are supplied by connector P9. The current ratings listed are per pin.

Table 21. Expansion Voltages

Current	_ P9 _	Name	Current		_ GND _
1	_ 2 _	GND _		250mA	VDD_3V3B
3	_ 4 _	VDD_3V3B	250mA	1000mA	VDD_5V

7	_ 8 _	SYS_5V	250mA
:	_ : _				GND _
43	44	GND _			GND _

The VDD_3V3B rail is supplied by the LDO on the BeagleBone Black and is the primary power rail for expansion boards. If the power requirement for the capes exceeds the current rating, then locally generated voltage rail can be used. It is recommended that this rail be used to power any buffers or level translators that may be used.

VDD_5V is the main power supply from the DC input jack. This voltage is not present when the board is powered via USB. The amount of current supplied by this rail is dependent upon the amount of current available. Based on the board design, this rail is limited to 1A per pin from the main board.

The SYS_5V rail is the main rail for the regulators on the main board. When powered from a DC supply or USB, this rail will be 5V. The available current from this rail depends on the current available from the USB and DC external supplies.

A slot is provided for the Ethernet connector to stick up higher than the cape when mounted. This also acts as a key function to ensure that the cape is oriented correctly. Space is also provided to allow access to the user LEDs and reset button on the main board.

Some people have inquired as to the difference in the radius of the corners of the BeagleBone Black and why they are different. This is a result of having the BeagleBone fit into the Altoids style tin.

It is not required that the cape be exactly like the BeagleBone Black board in this respect.

Extended Cape Size

Capes larger than the standard board size are also allowed. A good example would be an LCD panel. There is no practical limit to the sizes of these types of boards. The notch for the key is also not required, but it is up to the supplier of these boards to ensure that the BeagleBone Black is not plugged in incorrectly in such a manner that damage would be cause to the BeagleBone Black or any other capes that may be installed. Any such damage will be the responsibility of the supplier of such a cape to repair.

As with all capes, the EEPROM is required and compliance with the power requirements must be adhered to.

You can also try resetting the board and let it reboot to resync with the TV. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark256]][[bookmark256]]**OVERSCAN** ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some displays use what is called overscan. This can be seen in TVs and not so much on Monitors. It causes the image to be missing on the edges, such that you cannot see them displayed. Some higher end displays allow you to disable overscan. Most TVs have a mode that allows you to adjust the image. These are options like Normal, Wide, Zoom, or Fit. Normal seems to be the best option as it does not chop of the edges. The other ones will crop of the edges. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. [[_bookmark257]][[bookmark257]]**Taking a Nap** ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In some cases the board can come up in a power down/screen save mode. No display will be present. This is due to the board believing that it is asleep. To come out of this, you will need to hit the keyboard or move the mouse. Once working, the board will time out and go back to sleep again. This can cause the display to go into a power down mode as well. You may need to turn the display back on again. Sometimes, it may take a minute or so for the display to catch up and show the image. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1.

This is due to the the way the specification was written. Some displays have built in speakers and others require external.
