Based on NXP i.MX 8QuadMax/QuadPlus/DualMax, the
VAR-SOM-MX8 carries Dual 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A72,
Quad 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 and 2x 266MHz real-time
Cortex-M4F co-processor. The SoM introduces advanced
processing power, high-end graphics, UltraHD 4K video
capabilities and a variety of high-speed interfaces
and connectivity options like certied dual-band Wi-Fi
802.11ac/a/b/g/n, BT/BLE, dual GbE, dual USB3, PCIe,
CAN FD, UltraHD 4K display support, high-quality audio,
high performance 2D/3D graphics acceleration and
camera inputs.
The VAR-SOM-MX8 is a member of Variscite’s pin2pin
compatible family, which also includes the VAR-SOM-
MX8X, VAR-SOM-MX6, VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL and
VAR-SOM-6UL. This compatibility allows Variscite’s
customers to use the same system design with full
scalability, from entry level – i.MX 6UL/ULL, through i.MX
6 Solo/DualLlite/Dual/Quad/QuadPlus, i.MX 8X and up to
iMX8 QuadMax/QuadPlus/DualMax.
The Symphony carrier board complements an attractive
full reference kit of the VAR-SOM-MX8, used by
Variscite’s customers for evaluation, development and
mass production.
