NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8M Nano Evaluation Kit (8MNANOLPD4-EVK)

NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8M Nano Evaluation Kit (8MNANOLPD4-EVK) is a feature-rich and excellent starting point to create a system design based on the i.MX 8M Nano applications processor. This 8MNANOLPD4-EVK 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 features i.MX 8M Nano application processors, 2GB of DDR4 memory, PMIC, eMMC, and a Wi-Fi®/BLUETOOTH® module. The base board features multiple interfaces including USB, MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, microSD, Ethernet, infrared receiver, and LEDs for power indication and general-purpose use.

The 8MNANOLDP4-EVK delivers high performance and power efficiency with multimedia interfaces, PCA9450B PMIC, and Wi-Fi/BT module. This kit enables HDMI via a MIPI-DSI to HDMI accessory card, for simple out-of-the-box bring up. Typical applications include smart power socket and light switch, home security and surveillance, vital signs monitors, and home control panel.
