The LPDDR4 EVKB board is a platform designed to show the most commonly used features of the i.MX 8M Mini Applications Processor in a small and low cost package. The i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVKB board is an entry level development board, which helps developers get familiar with the processor before investing a large amount of resources in more specific designs.
1.2 Board contents The i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVKB contains the following items: • i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVKB board, assembled by two separate boards, 8MMINILPD4-CPU2 (SOM Board) and 8MMINI- BB (Base Board) • IMX-MIPI-HDMI Accessory Card, MIPI-DSI to HDMI adapter board •...
The method used to determine where the processor finds its boot information is from two dedicated BOOT MODE pins. Table 2 lists the values used in the two methods. Figure 3. Boot mode selection i.MX 8M Mini LPDDR4 EVKB Board Hardware User's Guide, Rev. 0, February 18, 2021 User's Guide 7 / 20...
