AR8MXMM is an ultra-compact ARM based single board computer powered by the NXP i.MX 8M Mini Quad-Core processor

BCM’s newest ARM single board computer (SBC) is based on the NXP i.MX 8M Mini -Arm® Cortex®-A53 processor family. The i.MX 8M Mini is a great follow-on to BCM’s popular i.MX6 series of SBCs but with upgraded performance and features. The i.MX 8M Mini processor provides secure and cost-effective processing performance for any general-purpose embedded computing application that requires low power, low heat, cost effectiveness, all in an ultra-compact design. The BCM AR8MXMM is the ideal extended lifecycle SBC for industrial and IoT applications including:

Enhanced audio processing applications: Voice Control/Voice Assistants

Low power, system-level, task monitoring device in:

Medical: mobile patient care devices, blood pressure monitor, activity/wellness monitor, exercise equipment

Warehouse management equipment: HMI, factory automation device, test and measurement, industrial printer, barcode/image scanner, machine visual inspection device

Smart home/smart building: Smart connected appliances, smart Lighting Control Console, office/Building/Warehouse IoT Smart Things Control

i.MX 8M Mini Processor Features:

Power Efficiency & Scalable Performance		Media-rich
The i.MX 8M Mini processor is built in 14LPC FinFET architecture, providing 4x Cortex-A53 core+ 1x Cortex-M4 performance. Besides, it features task offload, power optimizations and security features.		The i.MX 8M Mini processor supports GC NanoUltra 3D (1 shader) + GC3202D and OpenGL ES2.0 and 1080p hardware video decoder for more advanced video processing tasks.
Size & Cost Optimized System Design		Trusted Long Term supplier
The processor enables ultra small form factor design allowing the motherboard to size only 4.72”x 3.07”, which is smaller than the measurement of a palm. It supports direct connection of PDM microphones, various OS including Android, Linux and other software.		Product longevity is one of the key values and requirements for our industrial embedded customers. Partnering with NXP, we ensure our customer to receive 10+ and 15-year supply on core processors, chipset and components to keep their products stay competitive in the market.
