The onboard AM335x processor provides Cortex-A8 32-bit RISC processor with a
NEON SIMD coprocessor. This MPU is capable of running a rich set of real-time
operating systems containing software applications programming interfaces (APIs)
expected by modern system designers. The ARM architecture supports several operating
systems, including Linux, QNX, and Windows CE.
In addition to the Cortex-A8, the AM335x family also offers available dual
Programmable Real-Time Units (PRUs) when using the AM3356, AM3357, AM3358 or
AM3359 processors. These PRUs are 200MHz RISC processors that run independently
of the main Cortex-A8 CPU and have access to all the on-chip peripherals as well as all
external memory. These can be used for any purpose; typical applications include the
implementation of custom, industrial serial or Ethernet protocols such as PROFIBUS or
EtherCAT. In addition, the PRUs can continue to run while the core CPU is in sleep
mode in order to monitor for system wakeup events.
Figure 1 MitySOM-335x Block Diagram
Figure 1 provides a top level block diagram of the MitySOM-335x processor card. As
shown in the figure, the primary interface to the MitySOM-335x is through a standard
DDR3 SO-DIMM-204 card edge interface. The interface provides power, synchronous
serial connectivity, and many other interfaces provided by the Sitara processor. Details
of the SO-DIMM-204 connector interface are included in the SO-DIMM-204 Interface
Description, below.

MitySOM-335x Onboard DDR Memory Options
DDR2 Memory Option
The AM335x processor includes one dedicated 16 bit DDR SDRAM memory interface.
The MitySOM-335x can include up to 256 MB of DDR2 RAM integrated on board the
module. The memory bus interface is capable of burst transfer rates of 800 MB / second.
DDR3 Memory Option
The AM335x processor includes one dedicated 16 bit DDR SDRAM memory interface.
The MitySOM-335x includes up to 1 GB of DDR3 RAM integrated on board the module.
The memory bus interface is capable of burst transfer rates of 1200 MB / second.
MitySOM-335x Onboard Storage Memory
NAND FLASH (Optional)
Up to 1GB of on-board NAND FLASH memory is connected to the AM335x processor
using the general purpose memory controller (GPMC) bus. The FLASH memory is 8
bits wide and is connected to the first chip select line of the GPMC (CE0). The FLASH
memory is typically used to store the following types of data:
-
-
-
-
Bootloaders
ARM Linux / Windows CE / QNX embedded root file-system
runtime ARM software
runtime application data (non-volatile storage)
The GPMC bus is also accessible on the SO-DIMM-204 connector. It can be used to
access external memories such as SDRAM, SRAM, NOR flash, NAND flash, or
memory-mapped ASICs and FPGAs. The inteface is a maximum of 16-bits wide, but can
also be used for 8-bit access.
NOR FLASH (Optional)
8 MB of on-board NOR FLASH memory is connected to the AM335x using the Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI1). The AM335x provides up to 2 SPI interfaces with both
interfaces available on the SO-DIMM connector.
Configuration EEPROM
The MitySOM-335x contains a 256 x 8-bit EEPROM that is used to hold configuration
data for the module. The EEPROM is connected to the AM335x using the I2C1 interface
available on AM335x.

SO-DIMM-204 Interface Description
The primary interface connector for the MitySOM-335x is the SO-DIMM card edge
interface which contains 4 classes of signals:
Power (PWR)
Dedicated signals mapped to the on-board Power Management device (PM)
Dedicated signals mapped to the AM335xZCZ device (335D)
Multi-function signals mapped to the AM335xZCZ device (335M)
Table 1 contains a summary of the MitySOM-335x pin mapping.
Note that not all signals/mux options are available with all AM335x processor options
(i.e. PRU’s) and the I2C1 and I2C2 interface signals/mux options cannot be changed as
they are used for dedicated functions on the MitySOM-335x module.
