Missing DRAM lines

[olegpereverzev]

Hello. In my application I am trying to couple i.MX6 with standard 240-pin DDR3 UDIMM. I've noticed that DDR3 UDIMM specifications imply that you have DQM8 and SDQS8 (and inverted /SDQS8), but there are no such pins on i.MX6. As i understand this can lead to misclocking some chips on DIMM memory device.

Is there any way to fix such trouble? Like duplicating other signal or faking it? Or any other way?

  The 9-th [DQM8 and SDQS8 (and inverted /SDQS8)] is used for checking.
The i.MX6 memory controller does not support it.

Thanks. So if I will use non-ECC memory I can ignore those pins?

[igorpadykov]

Probably yes.

[olegpereverzev]

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

He Oleg

seems it can not be used with i.MX6, in general you can

look at datasheet and try to understand purpose of DQM8 and SDQS8.

I doubt if it can be "duplicated" or "fixed" by some way.

Best regards
