am335x max RAM

Giuseppe Zangari

Dear All,

in our custom board we'd like to have 1GB RAM. Is it possibile?

What is the best configuration to do so?

2x 4Gbx8 ?

any schematic sample?

We have the starter kit but is has 512MB.

Thank you

Hi Giuseppe,

I think that there are already 512Mx16 DDR3 memory chips on the market, but they may be still hard to find. It seems to me that 2x1Gx8 is your best bet at the moment. For schematic reference you can use the AM335X GP EVM baseboard Rev. 1.5 (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_General_Purpose_EVM_Board_Design_Files#Rev_1.5 ). Make sure you also read the AM335X Datasheet Rev. F section 5.6.2.3 and the Schematic Checklist (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Schematic_Checklist#DDR3 )
