Detailed Hardware Design

This section provides a detailed description of the Hardware design. This can be useful for interfacing, writing drivers, or using it to help modify specifics of your own design.

The figure below is the high level block diagram of BeagleBone® AI. For those who may be concerned, this is the same figure found in section 5. It is placed here again for convenience so it is closer to the topics to follow.

TPS6590379 PMIC

The Texas Instruments TPS6590379ZWSR device is an integrated power-management IC (PMIC) specifically designed to work well ARM Cortex A15 Processors, such as the AM5729 used on BeagleBone® AI. The datasheet is located here https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps659037.pdf

The device provides seven configurable step-down converters with up to 6 A of output current for memory, processor core, input-output (I/O), or preregulation of LDOs. One of these configurable step-down converters can be combined with another 3-A regulator to allow up to 9 A of output current. All of the step-down converters can synchronize to an external clock source between 1.7 MHz and 2.7 MHz, or an internal fallback clock at 2.2 MHz.

The TPS659037 device contains seven LDO regulators for external use. These LDO regulators can be supplied from either a system supply or a preregulated supply. The power-up and power-down controller is configurable and supports any power-up and power-down sequences (OTP based). The TPS659037 device includes a 32-kHz RC oscillator to sequence all resources during power up and power down. In cases where a fast start up is needed, a 16-MHz crystal oscillator is also included to quickly generate a stable 32-kHz for the system. All LDOs and SMPS converters can be controlled by the SPI or I2C interface, or by power request signals. In addition, voltage scaling registers allow transitioning the SMPS to different voltages by SPI, I2C, or roof and floor control.

One dedicated pin in each package can be configured as part of the power-up sequence to control external resources. General-purpose input-output (GPIO) functionality is available and two GPIOs can be configured as part of the power-up sequence to control external resources. Power request signals enable power mode control for power optimization. The device includes a general-purpose sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (GPADC) with three external input channels.

Wireless Communication: 802.11 ac & Bluetooth: AzureWave AW-CM256SM

Datasheet https://storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-26561200/documents/5b7d0fe3c3f29Ct6k0QI/AW-CM256SM_DS_Rev%2015_CYW.pdf Wireless connectivity is provided on BeagleBone® AI via the AzureWave Technologies AW-CM256SM IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.2 Combo Stamp Module.

This highly integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) solution combines Bluetooth 4.2 and provides a complete 2.4GHz Bluetooth system which is fully compliant to Bluetooth 4.2 and v2.1 that supports EDR of 2Mbps and 3Mbps for data and audio communications. It enables a high performance, cost effective, low power, compact solution that easily fits onto the SDIO and UART combo stamp module.

Compliant with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard, AW-CM256SM uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. Compare to 802.11n technology, 802.11ac provides a big improvement on speed and range.

The AW-CM256SM module adopts a Cypress solution. The module design is based on the Cypress CYP43455 single chip.

TODO: Verify it isn’t better than this. Doesn’t seem right.

PRU-ICSS

The Texas Instruments AM5729 Sitara™ provides 2 Programmable Real-Time Unit Subsystem and Industrial Communciation Subsystems. (PRU-ICSS1 and PRU-ICSS2).

Within each PRU-ICSS are dual 32-bit Load / Store RISC CPU cores: Programmable Real-Time Units (PRU0 and PRU1), shared data and instruction memories, internal peripheral modules and an interrupt controller. Therefore the SoC is providing a total of 4 PRU 32-bit RISC CPU’s:

  • PRU-ICSS1 PRU0

  • PRU-ICSS1 PRU1

  • PRU-ICSS2 PRU0

  • PRU-ICSS2 PRU1

The programmable nature of the PRUs, along with their access to pins, events and all SoC resources, provides flexibility in implementing fast real-time responses, specialized data handling operations, peripheral interfaces and in off-loading tasks from the other processor cores of the SoC.

PRU-ICSS Features

Each of the 2 PRU-ICSS (PRU-ICSS1 and PRU-ICSS2) includes the following main features:

  • 2 Independent programmable real-time (PRU) cores (PRU0 and PRU1)

  • 21x Enhanced GPIs (EGPIs) and 21x Enhanced GPOs (EGPOs) with asynchronous capture and serial support per each PRU CPU core

  • One Ethernet MII_RT module (PRU-ICSS_MII_RT) with two MII ports and configurable connections to PRUs

  • 1 MDIO Port (PRU-ICSS_MII_MDIO)

  • One Industrial Ethernet Peripheral (IEP) to manage/generate Industrial Ethernet functions

  • 1 x 16550-compatible UART with a dedicated 192 MHz clock to support 12Mbps Profibus

  • 1 Industrial Ethernet timer with 7/9 capture and 8 compare events

  • 1 Enhanced Capture Module (ECAP)

  • 1 Interrupt Controller (PRU-ICSS_INTC)

  • A flexible power management support

  • Integrated switched central resource with programmable priority

  • Parity control supported by all memories

PRU-ICSS2 Pin Access

The table below shows which PRU-ICSS2 signals can be accessed on BeagleBone® AI and on which connector and pins they are accessible from. Some signals are accessible on the same pins. Signal Names reveal which PRU-ICSS Subsystem is being addressed. pr1 is PRU-ICSS1 and pr2 is PRU-ICSS2
