Processor and memory subsystem[edit | edit source]

The heart of MITO 8M Nano module is composed by the following components:

  • i.MX8M Nano SoC application processor
  • Power supply unit
  • LPDDR4 memory bank
  • eMMC or NAND flash banks
  • Connectors:
    • 1 x 204 pins SO-DIMM edge connector with interfaces signals

This chapter shortly describes the main MITO 8M Nano components.

RAM memory bank[edit | edit source]

LPDD4 SDRAM memory bank is composed by 1x 32-bit width chip. The following table reports the SDRAM specifications:

CPU connection Multi-mode DDR controller (MMDC)
Size max 4 GB
Width 16 bit
Speed 1600 MHz

eMMC flash bank[edit | edit source]

On board main storage memory eMMC is connected to the SDIO1 interface and it can act as boot peripheral. The following table reports the eMMC flash specifications:

CPU connection SDIO1
Size min 4 GB
Size max 64 GB
Bootable Yes

NAND flash bank[edit | edit source]

TBD.png Section not completed yet

Alternative option for main storage memory can be a 8-bit wide NAND flash connected to the CPU's Raw NAND flash controller. It can act as boot peripheral. The following table reports the NAND flash specifications:

CPU connection Raw NAND flash controller
Page size TBD
Size min TBD
Size max TBD
Width 8 bit
Chip select TBD
Bootable Yes

Memory map[edit | edit source]

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

Power supply unit[edit | edit source]

MITO 8M Nano 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.
