Storage Options

eMMC onboard

Depending on the chosen model of UDOO VISION, your board is equipped with an eMMC storage memory up to 64GB to install your favorite OS.

The eMMC use a SD 3.0 compliant interface.

Heads up! As a flash-based storage device, excessive drive access, particularly write commands, reduces its life. Therefore, it is strongly suggested to NOT create a swap partition on the eMMC device.

SATA

Both Apollo Lake E3940 and E3950 processors embed a SATA Controller, which offers up to two SATA III 6.0 Gbps interfaces.
Of these interfaces, one SATA channel is carried out to a standard male SATA connector, CN11 (the other SATA channel is available on the M.2 Key B socket).

A dedicated power connector (CN10), can be used to power 2.5" Hard Disk Drives (or Solid State Drives) connected to the SATA male connector.
The dedicated power connector is a 4-pin male connector. You can find this cable in the SATA data and power cables for UDOO VISION kit.

Heads up! To connect a 3.5" Hard Drive you need to provide SATA +5V+12V combo power supply from an external source.

μSD

The SoCs used on UDOO VISION module offer a SD/MMC 4.0 compliant interface, that can be used as a boot device and/or to add another mass storages media other than the internal eMMC and the two SATA interfaces. This SD interface is carried to a standard μSD card slot (CN13), soldered on bottom side of the module, push-push type.

M.2 SATA Slot: Socket 2 Key B type 3042/2260

The mass storage capabilities of the UDOO VISION are completed by an M.2 SSD Slot, which allows plugging M.2 Socket 2 Key B Solid State Drives with SATA interface.

The connector used for the M.2 SATA slot is CN14, which is a standard 75 pin M.2 Key B connector.

On the UDOO VISION board there is also a Threaded Spacer which allows the placement of M.2 Socket 2 Key B SATA/PCI-e modules in 2260 or 3042 sizes.
