DART-MX8M-MINI
NXP i.MX8M Mini
The DART-MX8M-MINI System on Module / Computer on Module is based on NXP's i.MX 8M Mini processor, featuring a 1.8GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 with a 400MHz Cortex-M4 real-time co-processor - delivering optimized power consumption through advanced low-power silicon process technology without compromising performance.
The SoM includes integrated 1080p video encode and decode acceleration, advanced 2D/3D graphics, HQ audio, and a wide range of connectivity options: certified Wi-Fi 6 dual-band 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n with Bluetooth/BLE 5.4 and optional 802.15.4, Ethernet, and USB - all packed into a compact 55 x 30 mm footprint.
As a member of Variscite's DART Pin2Pin family, the DART-MX8M-MINI supports broad platform scalability - making it easy to migrate between performance tiers without redesigning the carrier board.
* For the complete Pin2pin product list, check the Variscite Pin2Pin System on Module families.
** The Pin2Pin compatibility depends on pinmux options; please verify the detailed pinout table in the related SoM to confirm compatibility is maintained in your specific design.

Newsroom
Adding TPM 2.0 to an embedded product usually starts with a hardware question: where does the security chip go? On Variscite’s i.MX-based modules, there is now another answer. Variscite and SecEdge are bringing SecEdge’s TPM 2.0 firmware, anchored in the processor’s own security hardware, to Variscite’s i.MX System on Module portfolio.
Blog
Pierluigi Passaro, Variscite’s R&D expert, introduces the VAR-SOM-MX8M-MINI and the VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO – two cost-optimized modules designed for applications that require power-efficient processing, graphics capabilities, and real-time performance. Both SoMs are available with flexible memory, storage, and wireless configurations, allowing developers to pay only for the features they need.
