Memory map[edit | edit source]

For detailed information, please refer to chapter 2 “Memory Maps” of the i.MX8M Mini Applications Processor Reference Manual

Power supply unit[edit | edit source]

MITO 8M Mini embeds all the elements required for powering the unit, therefore power sequencing is self-contained and simplified. Nevertheless, power must be provided from carrier board, and therefore users should be aware of the ranges power supply can assume as well as all other parameters.



Hardware versioning and tracking[edit | edit source]

MITO 8M Mini/Nano SOM implements well established versioning and tracking mechanisms:

  • PCB version is copper printed on PCB itself, as shown in Fig. 1
  • serial number: it is printed on a white label, as shown in Fig. 2: see also Product serial number page for more details
  • ConfigID: it is used by software running on the board for the identification of the product model/hardware configuration. For more details, please refer to this link
    • On MITO 8M Mini SOM ConfigID is stored on OTP memory

Power and reset[edit | edit source]

Power Supply Unit (PSU) and recommended power-up sequence[edit | edit source]

Implementing correct power-up sequence for iMX8M Mini/Nano processors is not a trivial task because several power rails are involved.

MITO 8M Mini SOM simplifies this task by embedding all the needed circuitry. The following picture shows a simplified block diagram of PSU/voltage monitoring circuitry:

Mito8MMini-power-sequence.png

The PSU is composed of two main blocks:

  • power management integrated circuit
  • additional generic power management circuitry that completes PMIC functionalities

The PSU:

  • generates the proper power-up sequence required by the SOC processor and surrounding memories and peripherals
  • synchronizes the powering up of carrier board in order to prevent back power

Power-up sequence[edit | edit source]

The typical power-up sequence is the following:

  1. 3.3VIN main power supply rail is powered
  2. SNVS domain signals are pulled-up (unless carrier board circuitry keeps this signal low for any reason)
  3. CPU_PORn (active-low) is driven low by PMIC
  4. RTC_RESET_B are internally released after 10ms
  5. PMIC initiates power-up sequence needed by iMX8M Mini/Nano processor
  6. BOARD_PGOOD goes up when all CPU I/O power rail is ready
  7. CPU_PORn is deasserted after the last regulator to bring the processor out of reset

Note on BOARD_PGOOD usage[edit | edit source]

BOARD_PGOOD is generally used on carrier board to drive loads such as DC/DC enable inputs or switch on/off control signals.

Depending on the kind of such loads, BOARD_PGOOD might not be able to drive them properly because it has a 20mA output current absolute maximum rating.

In these cases a simple 2-input AND port can be used to address this issue. The following picture depicts a principle schematic showing this solution.

MITO 8M-power-good.png

Additionally, we suggest using an IC with Schmitt trigger input ports.



Reset scheme and control signals[edit | edit source]

The following picture shows the simplified block diagram of reset scheme and voltage monitoring.

Mito8MMini-reset-scheme.png

NVCC_VSNVS_1V8[edit | edit source]

Some signals that are related to reset circuitry are pulled-up to NVCC_VSNVS_1V8.

Hence it is recommended that system designer takes into account these factors in order to properly manage these signals at carrier board level.

CPU_PORn[edit | edit source]

PMIC can assert this active-low signal and it is internally pulled-up with a 100kΩ to NVCC_VSNVS_1V8.

Other internal IC, such as ethernet PHY or boot memory devices, could be connected to this signal. This guarantees it is in a known state when reset signal is released.

PMIC_PWRON[edit | edit source]

PMIC_PWRON is internally pulled-up with a 100kΩ to VIN and has a capacitor of 10nF to GND. This input signal is connected directly to the PWRON input of the PMIC.

CPU_ONOFF[edit | edit source]

CPU_ONOFF is internally pulled-up with a 100kΩ to NVCC_VSNVS_1V8. This input signal is connected directly to the ONOFF input of the CPU.

BOARD_PGOOD[edit | edit source]

BOARD_PGOOD is directly related to the internal NVCC_3V3 rail (I/O pins supply) presence and must be used as power enable for all the electronics on MITO 8M carrier board.

When the I/O pins power rail on MITO 8M Mini/Nano is not ready (BOARD_PGOOD low) all the integrated circuits connected to the CPU must be powered off in order to avoid back-powering or other issue related to a wrong power-up sequence.

BOOT_MODE_SEL[edit | edit source]

BOOT_MODE_SEL is internally pulled-up with a 100kΩ to NVCC_3V3.

When connected to GND, select the external microSD as the boot device.

Handling CPU-initiated software reset[edit | edit source]

By default, MX8 processor does not assert any external signal when it initiates a software reset sequence. Also default software reset implementation does not guarantee that all processor registers are reset properly.

For these reasons it is strongly recommended to use a different approach that, in combination with the use of a processor's watchdog timer (WDT), provides a full hardware reset in case a software reset is issued.

This technique is implemented in DESK-MX8M-L. At the software level, U-Boot and Linux kernel software reset routines make use of the processor's WDT to assert the WDOG_B signal. This signal in turn is routed to the GPIO1_IO02 pad. At the hardware level, this signal is AC-coupled to the master reset pin of the internal supervisor IC. It acts as a complete hardware reset by the assertion of its RESETn output (on the same way of EXT_RESET pin).



System boot[edit | edit source]

The boot process begins at Power On Reset (POR) where the hardware reset logic forces the ARM core to begin execution starting from the on-chip boot ROM. The boot ROM:

  • determines whether the boot is secure or non-secure
  • performs some initialization of the system and clean-ups
  • reads the mode pins to determine the primary boot device
  • once it is satisfied, it executes the boot code

Boot options[edit | edit source]

Two options are available related to system boot. They are identified by the Boot field of the ordering code as follows:

  • 0: eMMC / SD option (SOM code: DMMxxx0xxxxR)
  • 1: NAND / SD option (SOM code: DMMxxx1xxxxR)

For both options the selection of primary boot device is determined by the BOOT_MODE_SEL signal as described in the following sections. BOOT_MODE_SEL is latched when processor reset is released.

In any case, boot process is managed by on-chip boot ROM code that is described in detail in processor's Reference Manual.

eMMC / SD option[edit | edit source]

Selection of primary boot device is determined by the BOOT_MODE_SEL signal as follows:

  • BOOT_MODE_SEL = 0
    • primary boot device is SD2 (USDHC2)
  • boot ROM will try to boot a valid image from the SD card. In case no valid image is found, boot ROM shall enable USB serial download mode automatically
  • BOOT_MODE_SEL = 1 or floating
    • primary boot device is eMMC connected to USDHC1
    • in case no valid image is found on eMMC, boot ROM shall enable USB serial download mode automatically

NAND / SD option[edit | edit source]

Selection of primary boot device is determined by the BOOT_MODE_SEL signal as follows:

  • BOOT_MODE_SEL = 0
    • primary boot device is SD2 (USDHC2)
    • in case no valid image is found in SD card, boot ROM shall enable USB serial download mode automatically
  • BOOT_MODE_SEL = 1 or floating
    • primary boot device is NAND flash
    • in case no valid image is found in NAND flash, boot ROM shall enable USB serial download mode automatically

Important note for manufacture mode management[edit | edit source]

When the internal boot and recover boot (if enabled) failed, the boot goes to the SD/MMC manufacture mode before the serial download mode.

By default, the SD/MMC manufacture mode is enabled. DAVE Embedded Systems do not blow the fuse of the DISABLE_SDMMC_MFG in order to disable it.

Boot ROM detect SD/MMC card on USDHC2 port. If a card is inserted, ROM will try to boot from it. SD2_CD_B is used as card detect signal during bootrom's manufacture mode. This signal need to be kept high during bootstrap stage in order to prevent the intervention of bootrom's manufacture mode, if it's not desidered.

Bootstrap stage has to be intended as the time elapsing between the release of hardware reset (CPU_PORn) and the execution of the first instruction of user code (typically this is the reset vector of U-Boot boot loader).



On board JTAG connector[edit | edit source]

JTAG signals are routed to a dedicated connector on the MITO 8M Mini/Nano PCB.

Description[edit | edit source]

The 10/100/1000-Mbit/s Ethernet interface available on MITO 8M Mini/Nano is based on iMX8M Mini/Nano SoC.

Important note for the external magnetic connection[edit | edit source]

The Ethernet peripheral requires an external insulator magnetic on the carrier board.

The four transformer center tap pins on the PHY side should not be connected to any power supply source on the board; rather, the center tap pins should be separated from one another and connected through separate 0.1 µF common-mode capacitors to ground. Separation is required because the common-mode voltage could be different between the four differential pairs, depending on the connected speed mode.

Power consumption[edit | edit source]

Providing theoretical maximum power consumption value would be useless for the majority of system designers building their application upon MITO 8M Mini/Nano module. Practically speaking, these figures would be of no help when it comes to size power supply unit or to perform thermal design of real systems.

Instead, several configurations have been tested in order to provide figures that are measured on real-world use cases.

Please note that MITO 8M Mini/Nano platform is so flexible that it is virtually impossible to test for all possible configurations and applications on the market. The use cases here presented should cover most of real-world scenarios. However actual customer's application might require more power than values reported here or customer's use case may be differ significantly with respect to the ones here considered.

Therefore, application-specific requirements have always to be taken into consideration in order to size power supply unit and to implement thermal management properly.
