Variscite is proud to reveal the new i.MX based product portfolio. The portfolio will be presented for the first time at the Embedded World 2019 exhibition & conference next week. Variscite is the only NXP partner who was granted early access to all i.MX 8 programs and will present at the exhibition next week a respectable number of new System on Modules based on i.MX 8M Mini, i.MX 8X and i.MX 8QM, as well as the i.MX 8M which was released in 2018.
Alongside the i.MX 8 platforms, we will showcase the new member to the ‘VAR-SOM pin2pin family’, the VAR-SOM-6UL platform based on i.MX 6UltraLite / 6ULL / 6ULZ processors.
All demos will be presented on hall 4A / 4A-340 at the Embedded World exhibition.
DART-MX8M-MINI official launch
The official launch of the DART-MX8M-MINI System on Module (SoM) will be at the upcoming Embedded World exhibition. The DART-MX8M-MINI is a miniature SoM based on NXP’s i.MX 8M Mini processor with up to 2GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 plus real-time 400MHz Cortex-M4 coprocessor. The SoM offers optimized power consumption, integrated HW engines supporting 1080p video encode and decode, 2D and 3D graphics, HQ audio and a wide range of connectivity options such as certified Wi-Fi/BT, Ethernet, and USB.
The DART-MX8M-MINI joins the ‘DART Pin2Pin Family’ and provides a scalable pin-compatible option to our DART-MX8M with lower power consumption and higher CPU performance. The launch of the DART-MX8M-NANO based on the upcoming i.MX 8M Nano processor is expected to take place later this year. The DART-MX8M-NANO will provide further cost/performance scalability to the ‘DART Pin2Pin Family’.
The VAR-SOM Pin2Pin Family
The ‘VAR-SOM Pin2Pin product Family’ is expanding with several new i.MX products which will be presented at the Embedded World exhibition: The VAR-SOM-MX8, VAR-SOM-MX8X and VAR-SOM-6UL. The Pin2Pin family offers Variscite’s customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and reduced development time, cost and risk.
