BCM introduces the AR8MXMM 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 core up to 400 MHz 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. | | | | |  |  | | Product Name | AR8MXMM | AR8MXMN (OEM Only) | | Processor | NXP i.MX 8M Mini Processor onboard:
