Common Processor Board
Common Processor board is the baseboard that has most of the actual
connectors, power supply etc. A SOM (System on Module) is plugged on
to the common processor board and this contains the SoC, PMIC, DDR and
basic high speed components necessary for functionality. Add-n card
options add further functionality (such as additional Audio, Display,
networking options).
Note:
A) The minimum configuration required to boot up the board is System On
Module(SOM) + Common Processor Board.
B) Since there is just a single SOM and Common Processor Board, we are
maintaining common processor board as the base dts and SOM as the dtsi
that we include. In the future as more SOM's appear, we should move
common processor board as a dtsi and include configurations as dts.
C) All daughter cards beyond the basic boards shall be maintained as
overlays.

The EValuation Module(EVM) platform for AM654 consists of a
common Base board + one or more of daughter cards, which include:
a) "Personality Modules", which can be specific to a profile, such as
ICSSG enabled or Multi-media (including audio).
b) SERDES modules, which may be 2 lane PCIe or two port PCIe + USB2
c) Camera daughter card
d) various display panels
Among other options. There are two basic configurations defined which
include an "EVM" configuration and "IDK" (Industrial development kit)
which differ in the specific combination of daughter cards that are
used.
To simplify support, we choose to support just the base board as the
core device tree file and all daughter cards would be expected to be
device tree overlays.
