Hi Gary,

You are right. I will remove this (confusing) sentence in v2.

Not sure why this link contains "LPD4" in its name ; will use another one landing on a page, which is one step above and concerns i.MX8M Nano EVK[1]. On this page, you will notice that DDR4 is mentioned (and that is the one I have used for validation of this config).
