MITO 8M Mini - i.MX8M Mini

Processor: NXP i.MX8M Mini / i.MX8M Nano

NXP i.MX8M Mini / Nano SOM is the new top-class Quad Core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU module by DAVE Embedded Systems, based on the recent NXP i.MX8 Mini / Nano application processor. The background idea with this new SOM provided by DAVE Embedded Systems is to provide customers within a FULL compatible solution with existing NXP i.MX6 Solution. With this concept, customers will be enable to jump on this new solution obtaining immediately:

  • increased performances
  • increased product life time
  • up to date and well maintained SW solutions

The use of this processor enables extensive system-level differentiation of new applications in many industry fields, where high-performance and extremely compact form factor (67,5 mm x 43 mm) are key factors. i.MX8 Mini / Nano SOM offers great computational power with a reasonable price. For these reasons it is the right alternative to NXP i.MX6 Solutions. The main features of this new product are:

  • ARM Cortex A53 MPCore + Cortex-M4 tecnology
  • eMMC or NAND SLC on board
  • dual LVDS output on board
  • Enabling massive computing applications thanks to wide range LPDDR4 RAM memory up to 2GB (4GB OPT)
  • FULL compatible with i.MX6 AXEL Lite SOM
  • Reduced carrier complexity: 1xPCIe, MIPI CSI and MIPI DSI, SDIO, 2xUSB2.0, Gb ETH, GPIOs, 3xSAI
  • H264/H265 Video encoding and decoding
  • Available NAND interface for cost optimization

i.MX8M Mini SOM offers great computational power, thanks to the rich set of peripherals, the Scalable ARM Cortex-A53 together with a large set of high-speed I/Os such us dual PCIe and USB3.

i.MX8M Mini SOM is compatible witth i.MX6 SOM solution AXEL LITE. Customers that want to migrate from previous i.MX6 solution to this new will have a ZERO-effort approach with the great advantage of performance. i.MX8 SOM enables designers to create smart products suitable for harsh mechanical and thermal environments, allowing for the development of high computing and reliable solutions.

Thanks to the tight integration between the ARM Core-based processing system and the RTOS integrated on board, designers are able to share the applications through the multicore platform and/or to divide the task on different cores in order to match with specific application requirements. i.MX8M Mini SOM is designed in order to keep full compatibility with the LITE Line CPU modules, for designs where quality and reliability are important factors PLUS compatibility of AXEL LITE SOM.
