Memory
Described in the following sections are the three memory devices found on the board.
5.3.1
512MB DDR3L
A single 256Mb x16 DDR3L 4Gb (512MB) memory device is used. The memory used is is
one of two devices:
- MT41K256M16HA-125 from Micron
- D2516EC4BXGGB from Kingston
It will operate at a clock frequency of 400MHz yielding an effective rate of 800MHZ on the
DDR3L bus allowing for 1.6GB/S of DDR3L memory bandwidth.
5.3.2
4KB EEPROM
A single 4KB EEPROM is provided on I2C0 that holds the board information. This
information includes board name, serial number, and revision information. This is the not
the same as the one used on the original BeagleBone. The device was changed for cost
reduction reasons. It has a test point to allow the device to be programmed and otherwise
to provide write protection when not grounded.
5.3.3
4GB Embedded MMC
A single 4GB embedded MMC (eMMC) device is on the board. The device connects to the
MMC1 port of the processor, allowing for 8bit wide access. Default boot mode for the
board will be MMC1 with an option to change it to MMC0, the SD card slot, for booting
from the SD card as a result of removing and reapplying the power to the board. Simply
pressing the reset button will not change the boot mode. MMC0 cannot be used in 8Bit
mode because the lower data pins are located on the pins used by the Ethernet port. This
does not interfere with SD card operation but it does make it unsuitable for use as an
eMMC port if the 8 bit feature is needed.
5.3.4
MicroSD Connector
The board is equipped with a single micro SD connector to act as the secondary boot
source for the board and, if selected as such, can be the primary boot source. The
connector will support larger capacity micro SD cards. The micro SD card is not provided
