The MITO 8M Nano SOM product is based on the recent NXP i.MX8 Mini/Nano application processor. Thanks to this solution, customers have the chance to save time and resources by using a compact solution that permits to reach scalable performance that perfectly fits the application requirements avoiding complexities on the carrier board. The background idea with this SOM is to provide customers within a full compatible solution with the existing AXEL Lite SOM based on NXP i.MX6 application processor.

The use of MITO 8M Nano enables extensive system-level differentiation of new applications in many industry fields, where high-performance and extremely compact form factor (67,5 mm x 43 mm) are key factors.
i.MX8 Mini/Nano SOM offers great computational power with a reasonable price. For these reasons, it is the right alternative to NXP i.MX6 Solutions.

Implementing correct power-up sequence for iMX8M Mini/Nano processors is not a trivial task because several power rails are involved. MITO 8M Nano SOM simplifies this task by embedding all the needed circuitry. Here you can find a simplified block diagram of PSU/voltage monitoring circuitry.

The PSU is composed of two main blocks: 1) power management integrated circuit 2) additional generic power management circuitry that completes PMIC functionalities.

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

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

Here you can find a block diagram of reset scheme and voltage monitoring.

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

JTAG signals are routed to a dedicated connector on the MITO 8M Mini/Nano PCB. The connector is placed on the top side of the PCB, on the right side. Check out this page for further information.

Here you can find MITO 8M Nano SOM’s maximum ratings, recommended ratings and power consumption.

The MITO 8M Mini/Nano SOM is designed to support the maximum available temperature range declared by the manufacturer. The customer shall define and conduct a reasonable number of tests and verification in order to qualify the DUT capabilities to manage the heat dissipation. Any heatsink, fan etc shall be defined case by case.
