Yocto Machine Configuration Table
This BSP releases supports the phyCORE-AM57x development kit and also allows configuration options for different SOMs to be used with the kit carrier board (PCM-948). By default, only the standard kit configuration will be in the table. If you have a different SOM, use the filters below to search by the SOM part number. The U-Boot defconfig and kernel device tree file names are important when creating custom U-Boot and Linux kernel images outside of Yocto development, or modifying Yocto source for further use.

New in this Release
PLEASE READ!
The PHYTEC EEPROM structure has been updated with this release. This means that existing SOM EEPROM information will need to be reflashed with the latest PHYTEC EEPROM Flashtool included with this release. By default, U-Boot and Linux will use fallback, minimalist defaults to boot until the SOM EEPROM is reflashed. For more information on flashing, please reference Using the PHYTEC EEPROM Flashtool
U-Boot
- General:
- Migrate to v2019.01 base sourced from TI SDK v06.02
- Add support for the following AM5729, 46, and 48 SOM configurations:
PCM-057-10306111I
PCM-057-11304111I
PCM-057-11305111I
- U-Boot image sized reduced from ~3 MiB to under 1 MiB with the use of device tree overlays
- Board:
- Enable support for selecting FIT images in MLO for U-Boot
- Selection is based upon read EEPROM information
- Enable support for selecting FIT images in MLO for U-Boot
- Device tree:
- General phyCORE-AM57x kit support moved to the following files:
- am571x-phycore-kit.dts
- am572x-phycore-kit.dts
- am574x-phycore-kit.dts
- Specific phyCORE-AM57x SOM configuration support moved from dts and dtsi files to overlay dtso files to be applied over the general kit support above
- Ex: am5716-phycore-kit-10203110c.dts is now a combination of am571x-phycore-kit.dts and am5716-pcm-057-10203110c.dtso
- General phyCORE-AM57x kit support moved to the following files:
- EEPROM:
- PHYTEC EEPROM structure updated. Existing SOM EEPROM information will need to be reflashed with the latest PHYTEC EEPROM Flashtool
- PHYTEC EEPROM structure updated. Existing SOM EEPROM information will need to be reflashed with the latest PHYTEC EEPROM Flashtool
- Environment:
- Enable support for loading and applying U-Boot and Linux overlays
- Selection is based upon read EEPROM information
- Enable support for loading and applying U-Boot and Linux overlays
