The VAR-SOM-MX8X supports NXP’s i.MX 8X Quad
1.2GHz Cortex™-A35 processor plus Cortex-M4F real-
time co-processor and offers built-in safety features,
highly integrated multimedia support and efcient
power/performance architecture.
VAR-SOM-MX8X is a pin2pin System on Module,
compatible with the VAR-SOM-MX8, VAR-SOM-MX6, and
VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL. It offers Variscite’s customers a
high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and
reduced development time, cost and risk.
This highly integrated SoM is designed to support a wide
range of high-reliability, power-efcient applications,
from industrial automation & control to defense, medical,
telematics, building control, failover displays/HMI and
robotics. The SoM multimedia features and interfaces
options include Vivante GC7000Lite GPU for 2D and 3D
graphics acceleration, 4K H.265 Decode, 1080p H.264
Encode/Decode, Camera Interfaces, DSI / LVDS, Parallel
LCD, dual GbE, certied Wi-Fi/BT, CAN/CAN-FD, USB3
and serial interfaces.
The Symphony carrier board complements an attractive
full reference kit of the VAR-SOM-MX8X, used by
Variscite’s customers for evaluation, development and
mass production.
