DESCRIPTION
The MitySOM-1810 is a highly configurable, very small form-factor processor card that
features a Texas Instruments AM1810 375MHz ARM Applications Processor for
PROFIBUS, FLASH (NAND, and NOR) and mDDR2 RAM memory subsystems. The
MitySOM-1810 provides a complete and flexible CPU infrastructure necessary for the
most demanding embedded applications development.
The AM1810 includes an ARM926EJ-S micro-processor unit (MPU) capable of running
the rich software applications programming interfaces (APIs) expected by modern system
designers. The ARM architecture supports several operating systems, including Linux,
QNX and Windows XP embedded.
Linux drivers are available for all interfaces,
including the PROFIBUS interface.

Figure 1 MitySOM-1810 Block Diagram
Figure 1 provides a top level block diagram of the MitySOM-1810 processor card. As
shown in the figure, the primary interface to the MitySOM-1810 is through a standard
SO-DIMM-200 card edge interface. The interface provides power, synchronous serial
connectivity, and a rich set of interfaces available for application defined interfacing.
Details of the SO-DIMM-200 connector interface are included in the SO-DIMM-200
Interface Description, below.
PROFIBUS Interface
Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has integrated PROFIBUS functionality into its AM1810
Sitara ARM microprocessor (MPU). The solution utilizes one of the onboard UARTS
and connects directly to the RS-485 transceiver and therefore eliminates the need of an
external PROFIBUS ASIC or FPGA. Customers using the MitySOM-1810 in their
industrial application can save cost and reduce design complexity as well as PCB space.
Furthermore, the industrial application benefits from the low-power architecture of the
Sitara ARM MPU and the MitySOM-1810 platform from TI and Critical Link.
The AM1810 Sitara ARM MPU PROFIBUS Slave solution has been certified by
PROFIBUS International (PI).
The PROFIBUS real-time frame handler (Fieldbus Data Link or FDL) is encapsulated in
the Programmable Real-Time Unit Subsystem (PRUSS), which is part of the AM1810

Sitara ARM MPU on-chip peripherals. The PRUSS uses one Universal Asynchronous
Receiver/Transmitter (UART) and a timer to generate PROFIBUS-compliant frames. The
industrial application and the PROFIBUS DP-Protocol (Layer 7) are operated on the
ARM. The solution can be completed with an RS-485 transceiver suitable for harsh
environments, such as TI’s ISO1176T or ISO1176 placed on the base board to the
MitySOM-1810.
The PROFIBUS subsystem uses the PRUs that implement real-time frame handling;
PROFIBUS message transmission, frame validation and communication with the ARM
processor. The PROFIBUS subsystem interfaces with one of the UARTs in the AM1810
Sitara ARM MPU, which is designated for PROFIBUS communication at up to 6Mbaud
data rate. The PRU uses interrupts to interact with the ARM where the PROFIBUS stack
(Layer 7, DP Protocol) and the industrial application is run. All process data handling like
cyclic, acyclic and service access point (SAP) between the PROFIBUS stack on ARM
and the PRU is through the internal memory.
Additional details about the AM1810 Sitara ARM MPU, available peripherals and their
features are provided in the data sheet at the TI website (www.ti.com/am1810).
AM1810 mDDR2 Memory Interface
The AM1810 includes a dedicated DDR2 SDRAM memory interface. The MitySOM-
1810 includes up to 256 MB of mDDR2 RAM integrated with the AM1810 processor.
The bus interface is capable of burst transfer rates of 532 MB / second. Note that the
OSCIN frequency to the AM1810 processor on the module is 24MHz.
AM1810 SPI NOR FLASH Interface
The MitySOM-1810 includes 8 MB of SPI NOR FLASH. This FLASH memory is
intended to store a factory provided bootloader, and typically a compressed image of a
linux kernel for the ARM core processor.
EMIFA / NAND FLASH Interface
The Asynchronous External Memory Interface (EMIFA) interface available on the
AM1810 is available on the SO-DIMM-200 connector. The EMIFA interface includes 3
chip select spaces. The EMIF interface supports multiple data width transfers and bus
wait state configurations based on chip select space. 8, and 16 bit data word sizes may be
used.
Up to 512 MB of on-board NAND FLASH memory is connected to the AM1810 using
the EMIFA bus. The FLASH memory is 8 bits wide and is connected to the third chip
select line of the EMIFA (CE1). The FLASH memory is typically used to store the
following types of data:
-
ARM Linux / Windows Embedded CE / QNX embedded root file-system
-
runtime ARM software
-
runtime application data (non-volatile storage)

AM1810 Camera and Video Interfaces
The AM1810 includes an optional video port I/O interface commonly used to drive LCD
screens as well as a camera input interface. These interfaces have been routed directly to
the SO-DIMM-200 connector.
Debug Interface
The JTAG signals for the AM1810 processor have been brought out to a Hirose header
that is intended for use with an available Critical Link breakout adapter. This header can
be removed for production units; please contact your Critical Link representative for
details.
This adapter is not included with individual modules but is included with each Critical
Link Development Kit that is ordered. If an adapter, Critical Link (CL) part number
80-000286, is needed please contact your Critical Link representative.
Software and Application Development Support
Users of the MitySOM-1810 are encouraged to develop applications using the MitySOM-
1810 software development kit provided by Critical Link LLC. The development kit
includes an implementation of an OpenEmbedded board support package providing an
Angstrom based Linux distribution and compatible gcc compiler tool-chain with
debugger.
Growth Options
The MitySOM-1810 has been designed to support several upgrade options. These options
include various speed grades, memory configurations, and operating temperature
specifications including commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The available
options are listed in the section below containing ordering information. For additional
ordering information and details regarding these options, or to inquire about a particular
configuration not listed below, please contact a Critical Link sales representative.
