{{WarningMessage|text=This technical note was validated against specific versions of hardware and software. What is described here may not work with other versions.}}
Specifically, it is built upon the [https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-processors/i.mx-applications-processors/i.mx-8-processors/i.mx-8m-family-armcortex-a53-cortex-m4-audio-voice-video:i.MX8M NXP i.MX8M] system-on-chip (SoC).
This Technical Note (TN) described describes how to run [https://www.armbian.com Armbian Buster ] distribution on this platform. For the sake of completeness, it is worth remembering that Armbian Buster is based on Debian 10.
==Testbed==To a good extent, '''Mito8M is electrically and mechanically compatible with [[:Category:AxelLite|Axel Lite]]'''. For this reason, the testbed used for this TN is pretty similar to the one described [[SBCX-TN-004:_Running_Armbian_Buster_(Debian_10)|here]]. Even though the SBCX carrier board is designed to host Axel Lite, in fact, it supports Mito8M as well.
TBD insert picture
Apart from the SoM, the most relevant difference with SBCX-TN_004 TN-004 is related to the file system. In this case, it was built for the <code>aarch64</code> architecture. As in the case of SBCX-TN-004, the root file system was stored on a partition of the microSD card inserted in the slot J26.
==Bootstrap process==
This section shows the complete bootstrap log retrieved from the serial console.
