1 Getting started

Warning: This board contains static sensitive devices.

The EVALSP320SCPU board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. Do not submit

the board to high electrostatic potentials, and follow good practices for working with static

sensitive devices.

●Wear an anti-static wristband. Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can help

prevent ESD from damaging the board.

●Zero potential. Always touch a grounded conducting material before handling the

board, and periodically while handling it.

●Use an anti-static mat. When configuring the board, place it on and anti-static mat to

reduce the possibility of ESD damage.

●Handle only the edges. Handle the board by its edges only, and avoid touching board

components.

1.1 Connections

Refer to Figure 5 on page 21.

1. Connect a serial cable from connector J17 (serial link) to a host PC.

2. On the host PC running Windows or Linux, start the Terminal program.

3. Connect the +5 V voltage adapter (supplied in the EVALSP320SCPU package) to the

J11 power voltage connector on the CPU board.

4. Apply power to the board.

5. The Terminal program displays a sequence of boot messages followed by the Linux

console prompt.

For more information, refer to user manual UM0844 Getting started with Linux for SPEAr,

available at www.st.com/spear.

1.2 Booting procedure

The SPEAr320S CPU evaluation board can boot a Linux kernel that has been pre-installed

in the serial NOR Flash.

At power on, the serial port outputs a brief header message with some uBoot information

(uBoot version, SDK version, and some internal hardware information). At this point you can

choose to:

●Stop the system directly in uBoot: Press the spacebar on the host computer

keyboard before the boot delay time expires (default is 3 seconds).

●Boot Linux: The system logs you in automatically as super user, and displays the

Linux shell prompt on the screen.

The following figure shows the block diagram of the EVALSP320SCPU board.

2.1 Dynamic memory subsystem

The Dynamic memory subsystem comprises three major parts:

Memory chip

The SPEAr320S MPU supports up to 256 Mbytes of memory. Place and route is provided

for 2 chips but only one has been populated. The memory used is a Micron DDR2 device, its

part number is MT47H64M16HR-3 and its size is 128 Mbits x 8 (16 Mbits x 8 x 8 banks).

Local power supply

The local power supply is based on a monolithic voltage regulator for the chip set and

DDR2/3 (PM6641). It is generated locally in order to minimize the layout impact and also to

avoid any noise injection between different subsystems.

UM1499 Functional description

Doc ID 022592 Rev 1 7/29

Signal termination

A parallel termination is added on the clock lines to compensate, if needed, for the layout

dissymmetry. Two 100k ohm resistors are used for each line in order to obtain an impedance

of 50 ohms. All the other terminations are directly inside the pads (both on the SPEAr320S

MPU and the memory sides).

2.2 Static memory subsystem (Serial Flash memory)

The SPEAr320S MPU supports up to 16 Mbytes of Serial Flash memory. Place and route

for 2 blocks of 8 Mbytes are provided on the board, but only one is populated. It is based on

an M25P64-VMF6P (Numonix) Serial Flash memory device.

Resistor R8 protects the Flash memory from any unwanted write access.

2.3 USB 2.0 subsystem

Host ports

The board has two host ports that are fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification (two

controllers with one port each). This means that the two hosts can work in concurrent mode

with the maximum possible bandwidth. Each host has also full control of the VBUS supplied

by the ST2052 power switch that also provides over current protection in case of a short

circuit in the USB cable.

Device port

The board has one USB 2.0 device port.

2.4 Debug interface

The JTAG interface can be used for static debugging, which means that it is possible to set a

breakpoint, and when the system stops, verify the contents of the memory or registers, or

both, and modify them if needed.

To select the debug feature, set Switch SW1 bits [2:1].

For more information on the ETM interface, refer to the trace box manufacturer’s

documentation (www.lauterbach.com, www.agilent.com, www.yokogawa.com).

2.5 Serial interface

One serial interface port is available. Typically used as an OS monitor, this port is available

on the J17 connector. It is possible to simulate a cross cable by changing the position of the

J22 jumpers.

Figure 3. Serial cable setting

2.6 Real time clock (battery powered)

The real time clock (RTC) is powered by an external battery (3V) in order to prevent data

loss even if the main power supply is switched off.

2.7 General power supply

From a 5 V external AC/DC regulator power source, this block generates all the required

voltages as follows:

●1.2V (Switching regulator PM6641) to supply the internal logic of the SPEAr320S MPU

●1.8V (Switching regulator PM6641) for the DDR2 memory

●2.5V (LDO regulator) for the analog portion of SPEAr320S

●3.3V (Switching regulator PM6641) to supply the other interfaces

A power monitor is also present to provide the general reset of the board.

2.8 Reset button

A manual reset button (P1) on the top of the board (see Figure 5 on page 21) resets the

microprocessor on the core board.

On the board the connectors are horizontally center-aligned, and the distance between the

mechanical holes is 3400.00 th.

Tabl e 2 lists connector J12 pins.

Tabl e 3 on page 11 lists connector J13 pins.
