NXP Semiconductor’s i.MX Mini Evaluation Kit

NXP Semiconductor’s i.MX 8M Mini Evaluation Kit is a high performance, high-efficiency development platform for media-rich industrial and commercial applications.

The kit includes a compute module and a baseboard. The compute module is based on the i.MX 8M Mini Quad applications processor, with four Arm® Cortex®-A53 cores operating at 1.8GHz and a single Arm Cortex-M4 at 400MHz.  The processor also integrates a GPU, a video processing unit, a display controller, display and camera interfaces, and audio I/O. It has extensive external memory interfaces, connectivity options, and security capabilities, and it’s built on a low-power 14nm FinFET process.

The 2”x2” compute module is a proven, compact reference design and includes 2GB of LPDDR4, 16GB of eMMC, and 64MB of QSPI flash memories, as well as a Qualcomm-based Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module. The compute module plugs into the baseboard, which provides connection points for the on-chip interfaces and additional functionality. These include audio connectors and a 24-bit, 192kHz audio DAC, mini-SAS connectors for display and camera, two USB Type-C, one micro USB for debugging, RJ45 for gigabit ethernet, and additional connectors for hardware expansion.

The high performance, high efficiency, built-in multimedia capabilities, and connectivity options make the 8M and its EVK ideal for a broad range of applications, such as video doorbells, surveillance cameras, intelligent appliances, in-home displays, smart lighting, and medical devices.  NXP also offers an OLED display for the EVK as well as camera and HDMI adapters.
