i.MX8 SOM
Description
SolidRun’s i.MX8 based System on Module (SOM) harnesses NXP’s powerful i.MX8M in a flexible & compact SOM including a memory subsystem, power management subsystem, networking and system interconnectivity. The i.MX8 SOM will allow developers and OEMs to simplify the production cycle and reduce time-to-market drastically.
With it’s superior audio and video capabilities, including 4K UltraHD and Dolby vision, i.MX8 is tailor made for a wide range of multimedia and IoT applications – from digital signage and voice recognition solutions to home entertainment devices.
