The i.MX 8M Mini offers high-performance computing, energy efficiency, and embedded security for edge node computing, multimedia streaming, voice assistants, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and machine learning applications.
The NXP i.MX 8M Mini application processors are optimized for ultra-low-power applications (down to sub-watt in specific applications), integrating up to four Arm® Cortex®-A53 cores with speeds up to 1.8 GHz, plus a Cortex-M4 at 400 MHz for low-power real-time processing. The devices support 2D and 3D graphics to deliver a rich HMI visual experience, feature hardware-accelerated 1080p video to enable two-way video applications, and offer advanced audio capabilities to support audio-rich applications.
Supporting a wide range of embedded industrial and consumer applications, the pin-compatible processors include a broad selection of high-speed interfaces to enable wider system connectivity and facilitate industrial-level qualification. The DRAM controller supports 32-bit/16-bit LPDDR4, DDR4, and DDR3L memory, providing great system design flexibility.
NXP's i.MX 8M Mini application processors are compatible with the 8MMINILPD4-EVK evaluation kit, which consists of a compact compute module and a larger motherboard. The compute module integrates an i.MX 8M Mini Quad processor, PMIC, LPDDR4 DRAM, eMMC, and wireless connectivity via a Murata Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® module. The compute module connects to the motherboard, which provides MIPI-DSI and MIPI-CSI connectors, a USB 3.0 connector, and high-speed PCIe interfaces, among other peripherals.
