New SMARC module from Kontron based on the powerful quad Arm® i.MX8M Plus processor

Kontron a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), expands its existing SMARC portfolio with a module that features the i.MX8M Plus processor with two GbE interfaces and two CAN interfaces.

New SMARC module from Kontron based on the powerful quad Arm® i.MX8M Plus processor

The new SMARC module offers high performance for sophisticated computing-intensive applications, 3D visualisation and a wide range of communication applications. Numerous digital I/Os and serial communication interfaces as well as PWM and SDIO interfaces make the module perfect for industrial applications. The latest processor (4x Arm® Cortex®-A53, 1x Arm® Cortex®-M7) and memory technology (LPDDR4) make it easy and quick to be used for custom board and application developments. The RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processors of the Arm®-based CPU are the perfect basis for cost-sensitive embedded applications with high energy efficiency combined with high computing and graphics performance.

The powerful NXP i.MX8M Plus SoM features an integrated neural processing unit (NPU) with a 2.3 TOPS AI processor. Universal programmability, fast pattern recognition and low power consumption are just some of the advantages of the processor. The i.MX8 application processor is part of NXP's EdgeVerse™ platform. This provides scalable and secure edge computing solutions for high-performance edge applications in the fields of IoT and Industry 4.0.

Together with the Dual CAN interface as well as the dual GbE connection the integrated Cortex® M7 processor core enables real-time applications. One LAN port supports the Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard for real-time data transmission. A major advantage of TSN communication technology is its extensive independence from the physical transmission layer. Both wired and wireless connections, such as the latest 5G cellular standard, are possible.
