Overview

LP-AM243 is a development board for Sitara™ high performance microcontrollers from the AM243x series. This board is ideal for initial evaluation and prototyping as it provides a standardized and easy-to-use platform to develop your next application. The LP-AM243 is equipped with the smaller form factor Sitara AM2434 ALX microcontroller unit (MCU) along with additional components to allow the user to make use of the various device interfaces including Industrial Ethernet, standard Ethernet, Fast Serial Interface (FSI) and others to easily create prototypes.

The AM2434 supports a variety of Industrial Ethernet protocols like EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET. This LaunchPad™ provides a smaller peripheral set than the TMDS243EVM as it is equipped with the smaller form factor AM243 ALX package.

This extended version LaunchPad™ development kit offers additional IO pins for development and supports the connection of two BoosterPack™ plug-in modules. The LP-AM243 also features an intuitive Out-of-Box Guide to help engineers quickly get started with their evaluation.

Features
  • 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports capable of 1Gb or 100Mb speeds
  • Dual 40 pin BoosterPack plugin module interface
  • 512Mb QSPI flash
  • CAN transceiver
  • On-board XDS110 emulator

  • Assembled AM243x LaunchPad development kit

Important note

LP-AM243 is a prototype evaluation module and is available in limited quantities.

Additional tool feature

LP-AM243 EVMs now feature High Security Field Securable (HS-FS) devices. For additional information regarding identifying and using HS-FS devices with Code Composer Studio, refer to the HS FS migration guide section of the AM243x MCU+ SDK and the security chapter of the LP-AM243 EVM user's guide
