Is there a IMX7D Sabre board variant which comes with the eMMC5 fitted?

[robertwhite]

We've recently acquired the IMX7D Sabre board and were disappointed to not be able to test the eMMC5 functionality.

In the quick start guide the eMMC5 footprint is labelled as an eMMC expansion.

Q1. Is there an eMMC expansion or breakout board which can be easily fitted to this? or are we required to organise the placement of the 153 ball VFBGA part ourselves?

Q2. Is there a variant of the sabreboard which can be ordered which comes with the eMMC5 fitted?

Q3. If Q1 is is no. Can you recommend an IMX7D development board which comes with eMMC5 fitted which we could utilise as an alternative to the IMX7D sabreboard?

Kind regards

Hello Robert White,

My apologies, there is not an i.MX7D SABRE variant that includes the eMMC5, so you would need to populate the part on the board.

There are some third-party boards with eMMC but I would recommend reviewing the configuration options they have, here are a couple of examples:

My apologies for the inconvenience. I hope this helps!
