Core Board Overview

Overview​

The X8390CV2 core board is designed around the MediaTek MT8390 and supports the pin-compatible MT8370. The MT8390 contains two Cortex-A78 and six Cortex-A55 cores; the MT8370 contains two Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 cores.

Features​

  • 55mm × 55mm castellated/stamp-hole core module.
  • MT6365 PMIC.
  • 2GB / 4GB / 8GB LPDDR4X.
  • 4GB to 64GB on-board eMMC.
  • Suspend and resume support.
  • USB3.0, USB2.0, PCIe Gen2, DisplayPort, MIPI DSI, MIPI CSI, HDMI, eDP, SDIO, and Gigabit Ethernet resources.
  • Complete pin table from pin 1 through pin 200.
