NXP i.MX 8M Mini multi-core heterogeneous applications processors

i.MX 8M Mini brings together high-performance computing, power efficiency, enhanced system reliability and embedded security.

The i.MX 8M Mini is a multi-core heterogeneous applications processors built using advanced 14LPC FinFET process technology. And brings together high-performance computing, power efficiency, enhanced system reliability and embedded security.

At the heart is a scalable core complex of up to four Cortex-A53 running up to 1.8GHz plus Cortex-M4 based real-time domain at 400+MHz. i.MX 8M Mini core options are optimized for low-power but offer the breadth of processing power necessary for consumer, audio, industrial, machine learning training and inferencing across a range of cloud providers.

Key features

Power Efficient and Scalable Performance

i.MX 8M Mini Development Tools and Ecosystem

Manufacturing Part Number: 8MMINILPD4-EVK

The i.MX 8M Mini development board (EVK) is a two-board solution that consists of a compact compute module and a larger base board that brings out the broad connectivity that is needed for product evaluation. The compute module uses fast, power-efficient 2 GB of LPDDR4 memory alongside the i.MX 8M Mini, PMIC, eMMC, and soldered-down Wi-Fi/BT module for connectivity out-of-the-box.

The EVK enables HDMI via a MIPI-DSI to HDMI accessory card, for simple out-of-the-box bring up. Below is a photograph of the compute module plus base board (delivered pre-assembled out-of-the-box) as well as the MIPI-DSI to HDMI accessory card (included in the box). Note that the compute module is not sold separately.
