VAR-SOM-MX8X :
NXP iMX8X

Starting from $79

The VAR-SOM-MX8X is a member of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin System on Module family, compatible with a wide range of modules based on i.MX8, i.MX8M Mini, i.MX8M Nano, i.MX6 and i.MX6UL processors. It offers Variscite’s customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and reduced development time, cost and risk.

A high-performance yet power-optimized platform, the VAR-SOM-MX8X supports NXP’s i.MX 8X 1.2GHz Quad Cortex™-A35 processor plus Cortex-M4F real-time co-processor. It provides built-in safety features, highly integrated multimedia with 4K support and efficient power/performance architecture.

This highly integrated SoM / CoM is designed to support a wide range of high-reliability power-efficient applications, from industrial automation & control to defense, medical, telematics, building control, failover displays/HMI and robotics. The SoM multimedia features and interfaces options include Vivante GC7000Lite GPU for 2D / 3D graphics acceleration, 4K H.265 Decode, 1080p H.264 Encode/Decode, Camera Interfaces, DSI / LVDS, Parallel LCD, dual GbE, certified Wi-Fi/BT, CAN/CAN-FD, USB3 and serial interfaces.

Starting from only $79 for a quad-core based SoM.
