IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS is available with up to 8GB of on-board LPDDR4 memory. 3.2.2 Primary Storage IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS features up to 128GB of soldered on-board eMMC memory for storing the bootloader and operating system (Kernel and root filesystem). The remaining eMMC space is used to store general-purpose (user) data.
Page 11: Cellular And Gps
IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS cellular interface is implemented with a mini-PCIe cellular modem module and a nano-SIM socket. To set up IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS for cellular functionality, install an active SIM card into nano-SIM socket. The cellular module should be installed into the mini-PCIe socket.
Page 12: Can Bus
Core System Components 3.7.1 CAN Bus IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS features a CAN 2.0B port implemented with i.MX8M Plus CAN controller. Key characteristics: • Galvanic isolation from the main unit Note: IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS does NOT provide built-in termination on the CAN bus port. External termination should be added depending on the bus topology.

Page 14: I/O Expansion Modules
I/O EXPANSION MODULES I/O Expansion Modules Interconnection IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS supports up to eight I/O Expansion Modules that can be stacked with the main gateway in order to extend the feature set of the system. A gateway assembly includes one gateway (the left most unit) and multiple I/O Expansion modules.
Page 15: System Logic
IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS RTC is implemented with the AM1805 real-time clock (RTC) chip. The RTC is connected to the i.MX8M Plus SoC using I2C interface at address 0xD2/D3. IOT-DIN-IMX8PLUS back-up battery keeps the RTC running to maintain clock and time information whenever the main power supply is not present.
