IMX8QM(MAX) CUSTOM HARDWARE DESIGN

peteramond — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 06:42:35 GMT

Hi All,

I'm trying to design a custom hardware design based on MIMX8QM5AVUFFAB (IMX8QM) processor. I'm referring to i.MX 8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) development board >> Link <<

When I was doing custom hardware design for IMAX6Q processor I had all the following documents. (Attached)

i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual
Hardware Development Guide for i.MX 6QuadPlus, 6Quad
i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Power Consumption Measurement

1) But I couldn't find any document for IMX8QM processor. Could you please provide me all those documents. It's really helpful to have memory layout routing rules and etc as well.

2) As well as can I have design files and layout files which can open in Altium for i.MX 8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) development board.

3) For DDR calibration what kind of tool are you using ? The same tool as IMAX6Q stressapp tester ?

4) If the design files and layout files which can open in Altium for i.MX 8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) development board is not available; can I have design files for MCIMX8M-EVK: Evaluation Kit for the i.MX 8M Applications Processor >> Link <<

Regards,

Peter.

Hi Peter

one can look at

i.MX 8 Family Applications Processor | Arm Cortex-A53/A72/M4 | NXP

i.MX 8QuadMax/i.MX 8QuadXPlus Hardware Developer’s Guide

i.MX8 MEK Base Board Design Files

Schematic for MCIMX8QM-CPU

Layout for MCIMX8QM-CPU

Other documents and tools can be obtained through local nxp marketing office.

Thank you for your reply.

The layout files you have shared is only the base board.

But I need to look into processor board layout files to do my custom hardware design. I must be thankful to you if you can share layout files of the following board (which can open in Altium designer) .

Regards,

Peter.

It's not a problem whether it's Altium or any other design software. I can import it anyway. Could you please share the layout design files of following processor board. In your first comment you just shared base board layout. I need following board layout files in any format.

Regards,

Peter.
