The XM5728-IDK-V3 is a development board designed by Shenzhen Xinmingxin based on the TI AM5728 (dual floating-point DSP C66x + dual ARM Cortex-A15) XM5728-SOM system-on-module. It provides users with a testing platform for the XM5728-SOM, enabling rapid evaluation of the core module’s overall performance.

The XM5728-IDK-V3 baseboard uses a 4-layer PCB design with lead-free immersion gold finish. It not only provides customers with comprehensive AM5728 getting-started tutorials but also assists in baseboard development, offering long-term and full technical support to help customers accelerate secondary development and bring products to market quickly. A wide range of demo programs are provided, along with tutorials for DSP+ARM multi-core communication development, comprehensive technical support, and assistance in baseboard design, debugging, and DSP+ARM software development.

2 LCD Touchscreen Interface on AM57x_am5728 Development Board

CON11 is the LCD resistive touchscreen interface, a 40-pin, 0.5mm pitch LCD connector using an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) socket. The LCD interface includes all common control signals required by LCDs (such as horizontal and vertical sync, clock, and enable signals). The interface definition is shown below:
