2.2.1 VAR-SOM-AM43
The VAR-SOM-AM43 features a standard SODIMM DDR3 204 Pin Socket to connect with the
VAR-SOM-AM43 System-om-module. Please refer to the VAR-SOM-AM43 module data sheet for a
complete signal description and pin-out.
2.3 Standard External Interfaces
2.3.1 USB HOST & OTG
The VAR-SOM-AM43 drives USB1 driven to a HOST Connector, USB0 is driven to both HOST and
OTG connectors. For using USB0 as HOST only via HOST connector configure USB0 to HOST
mode by setting resistor R102 value to 0R

2.3.3 Ethernet
Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are exposed to two standard RJ45 Ethernet jack connectors
with integrated magnetics. One port is driven by an On-SOM Gigabit Ethernet PHY, the other
by an On-Carrier Gigabit Ethernet PHY connected to the VAR-SOM-AM43 RGMII2 Interface.
The RGMII2 interface is available only when no Wi-Fi module is assembled on the
VAR-SOM-AM43. Please refer to the VAR-SOM-AM43 datasheet for more information.

The Headphones Jack is driven by an on-board Headphones amplifier using the Line Out
signal received by the VAR-SOM-AM43. The Line in Jack is driven directly by the
VAR-SOM-AM43. Additional McASP Audio interface signals are exposed through the
Digital Audio/SPI Header. (Please refer to the VAR-SOM-AM43 module data sheet for a
complete interface description).
The VAR-AM43CustomBoard also features an on-board stereo Digital Microphone, Please
refer to Digital Microphone section 2.4.1 for more details.

2.3.7 Camera
The VAR-AM43CustomBoard has a standard 10x2 2.54mm pitch Header exporting a 12 bit
parallel camera interface.
In addition, the camera interface is exported to standard 24-pin FFC/FPC connector for
interfacing an 8 bit OV2659 Image-sensor module.
Note: The same camera interface is exported to both connectors therefore they cannot be
used simultaneously.
