EV-iMX287-SODIMM SOM Structure

The second chip of PHY Etnernet can be attached on an external baseboard, connected via  RMII interface. Distinctive feature of this SOM is possibility of installation a e-MMC chip memory with a maximum capacity up to 16 Gbytes. It allows to use ready file systems, such as Debian directly in memory of the module. For applications not demanding large volume of memory the SLC NAND Flash installation with a capacity up to 512 Mb is provided. All signals and processor interfaces, such as UART, I2C, CAN, GPMI, RMII, SSP, LCD, ADC connected to 200-pin SODIMM connector. Working temperature range of the module  -40... + 85C.
