The VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO is a cost-optimized System on Module (SoM) / Computer on Module (CoM) based on NXP’s i.MX 8M Nano, 1.5GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53™ plus 650MHz Cortex-M7™. The SoM offers an ideal solution for cost-sensitive designs that require power-efficiency and high-performance graphics as well as for general-purpose applications.
This highly integrated platform’s connectivity options include certified single-band 802.11 b/g/n or dual-band 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n, BT5.2/BLE, GbE and USB2.0. Furthermore, the system supports full -40 to 85C industrial operating temperatures, Vivante GC7000UL GPU, LVDS and DSI.
The VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO is a member of the ‘VAR-SOM Pin2pin’ product family, providing a maximum scalability range; from the entry-level i.MX6UL/6ULL platform, through the i.MX 6 platforms, I.MX 8M-MINI, i.MX 8X up to the i.MX 8QuadMax.
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.
