Connect the development board

TMDS243GPEVM/TMDS64GPEVM

Board details: TMDS64EVM, TMDS243EVM

1. Setup a dip switches on the board : 25MHz, No-boot / Dev-boot.

No boot mode

1. Connect the evaluation board to your computer using the micro-USB cables.

   One USB cables is required for the JTAG interface (XDS110), a second cable for the UART console.

USB connectors on the AM64x/AM243 GP EVM Board

1. Connect an ethernet cable from a PC running the TwinCAT to EtherCAT IN/Port0 of the PRU-ICSS on the development board.

EtherCAT ports

1. If you have multiple devices in chain, please connect from EtherCAT OUT/Port1 to IN/Port0 of next device. For the last device in chain, OUT/Port1 will be left open (if NOT using redundancy mode).
2. Connect the board(s) to the power supply(ies) according to the specifications in the AM64x/AM243x GP EVM User's Guide Rev D

Steps to Run the Example
