5.5 WiFi/Bluetooth

The i.MX8M Mini

SMARC™ module offers an optional WiFi/Bluetooth module the SPB209A from H&D Wireless™. The module is connected via SDHC3

interface* and is equipped with an RF micro coaxial connector (U.FL receptacle).

Key features:

•

IEEE 802.11ac compliant

•

IEEE 802.11 PHY data rates of up to 433 Mbps

•

Bluetooth 4.2

•

Supports multiple SW features such as 802.11e/i (Security, QoS), Soft AP and Wi-Fi Direct

•

Extensive DMA hardware support for data flow to reduce CPU load

*NOTE: microSD card socket and WiFi/BT module are mutually exclusive assembly options.

5.6 MicroSD Card Socket

An optional on-module microSD card socket is connected via SDHC3 interface. The interface only supports High Speed (HS) Mode at 50MHz frequency
and data rates up to 25MB/s (3.3V operation only).

5.7 Debug Options

5.7.1 Debug Connector

Access to the Debug UART port is possible via an 8pin FFC connector.

Note: This connector may not be populated on all board variants. Contact Avnet /MSC Technical Support if this feature is required.
