To appreciate the Rev 5 diagram, here is what changed: Legal note : Reverse engineering the PCB to
| Feature | Rev 3 | Rev 4 | Rev 5 | |---------|-------|-------|-------| | CPU | i.MX 8M Mini | i.MX 8M Nano | i.MX 8M Plus (NPU) | | RAM | 2GB LPDDR4 | 2GB DDR4 | 4GB DDR4 (ECC) | | CAN isolation | External module | On-board non-isolated | On-board 5kV isolation | | Power sequencer | Discrete RC delay | CPLD-based | TPS389006 (monitored) | | Board diagram release | Full public | Under NDA | Under NDA (strict) |
Thus, many generic “MCP MB 07241” diagrams online are likely Rev 3 or 4. Do not use them for Rev 5 hardware – the pinout for J18 (DIO) changed completely.
Located usually near the rear of the board where the power supply unit (PSU) connects.
