DART-MX8M-PLUS :
NXP i.MX 8M Plus

Starting from $59

The future of smart embedded systems, packed in a small-size 55 x 30mm form factor.
The DART-MX8M-PLUS runs on 1.8GHz Quad Cortex™-A53 NXP i.MX 8M Plus processor with 800MHz Cortex™-M7 Real-time co-processor. It is the first i.MX processor to provide dedicated Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities with integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and an intelligent vision system based on Image Signal Processor (ISP) and camera interfaces.

In addition to its integrated AI/ML capabilities, the System on Module / Computer on Module provides advanced multimedia and connectivity features including H.265 HD video encode and decode engines, advanced 2D/3D graphic acceleration, HDMI, LVDS, MIPI-DSI display, dual GbE, 2x USB3, PCIe, 2x CAN-FD and dual cameras inputs.

The DART-MX8M-PLUS is a member of the DART Pin2Pin product family, which provides a wide scalability range; from i.MX8M Mini platform, through the i.MX8M, up to the iMX8M Plus.

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.
