SMARC IMX8

SMARC IMX8

PRODUCT BRIEF

Based on the ARM Cortex-A53 technology

SMARC module Dual/Quad core Cortex-A53 up to 1300 MHz and Cortex-M4 at 266 MHz

The SMARC iMX8M offers an ideal solution for embedded systems that require high-end multimedia applications in a small form factor. These modules are based on Dual/Quad ARM Cortex-A53 up to 1300 MHz and co-processor Cortex-M4 at 266 MHz.

This module is a good choice for applications with high multimedia requirements (4K display support, 2D/3D graphics acceleration, etc) and with a wide variety of connectivity options (WiFi 802.11 b/g/n; Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, Gb Ethernet, USB).
