Linux/AM3356: External Memory Compatibility Check

rperezti

Part Number: AM3356

Tool/software: Linux

We're selecting external NAND and DDR3/L for an AM3356 project and we want to check if any of the below devices have been confirmed to work with the AM335x and any version of Linux.

SkyHigh SLC NAND S34MS08G2 or S34MS16G2
Micron DDR3L MT41K512M16
NANYA DDR3L NT5CB256M16ER
Windbond DDR3 W634GG6MB

I have a pretty high confidence on the DDR3 devices based on the datasheets, except for the Micron MT41K512M16 which is a "twin die" device. This E2E post suggests that "dual die" DDR3 are not compatible with AM335x but recommends the MT41K512M16 which is a dual die device.

Thanks in advance,

Ruben

I wanted to clarify that I'm specifically asking about AM335x compatibility with Micron MT41K512M16VRN-107 which is a twin die device.

Thanks

Adding information from offline discussion:

=====

The DDR3 twin die is ok to use. It would just be like using 2 x8 devices in T-topology, which we support for DDR3. The e2e post you refer to is pointing to a DDR3 from ISSI which is dual die and dual rank. It is dual rank which we do not support with AM335x.

Also, the NAND looks like it is also compatible.
