microSD Card
Ultra96-V1 provides a microSD card socket as the primary boot device. VCCO for MIO1 is 1.80V
thus a level shifter is required. A Maxim MAX13035E is used.
When available, the Ultra96-V1 kit ships with a Delkin Devices “Utility” 16 GB Industrial MLC
microSD card, pre-programmed with Linux boot. The Delkin Part Number is S416APG49-U3000-
3, rated at Read Performance = 95MB/s and Write Performance = 55MB/s (measured using
CrystalDiskMark).
There are several advantages to using MLC over the typical retail TLC that is readily available.
