i.MX 8M Nano DDR4 EVK Board Hardware
User's Guide
1. Introduction
This document is the hardware User's Guide for the
i.MX 8M Nano DDR4 Evaluation Kit (EVK) based on
the NXP Semiconductor's i.MX 8M Nano Applications
Processor. This board is fully supported by NXP
Semiconductor. This manual includes system setup and
configurations, and provides detailed information on the
overall design and usage of the EVK board from a
hardware system perspective.
1.1. Board overview
The DDR4 EVK board is a platform designed to show
the most commonly used features of the i.MX 8M Nano
Applications Processor. The i.MX 8M Nano DDR4
EVK board helps developers get familiar with the
processor before investing a large amount of resources
in more specific designs.
Table 1
lists the features of the i.MX 8M Nano DDR4
EVK board.

BOOT MODE pins. On the i.MX 8M Nano DDR4 EVK board, the default boot mode is to boot from the eMMC device. There are two additional boot devices; a QSPI Nor Flash on the CPU board, and a MicroSD connector on the Base Board. -
Page 6: Power Tree
3.2. Power Tree There is a Type-C power supply that needs to be connected to the i.MX 8M Nano DDR4 EVK board at connector J302. The other powers on the EVK board are generated from PMIC and discrete devices to supply the whole system. - Page 7 4, the developer can get all the voltage supply rails used on the EVK board. When some modules are not enabled, the power supplies might be shut down by software. Table 3 lists the power rails on the board. i.MX 8M Nano DDR4 EVK Board Hardware User's Guide, User's Guide, Rev. 0, 12/2019 NXP Semiconductors...
