Complete development platform for embedded industrial product designs
The Digi ConnectCore® 8M Nano development kit is a cohesive
and cost-eective System-on-Module (SOM) platform built on the
NXP® i.MX 8M Nano applications processor. It integrates memory,
Digi Microcontroller Assist™ power management, a pre-certified
wireless connectivity and advanced Digi TrustFence® device
security with a complete, open-source Linux soware platform
based on the Yocto Project™.
The SOM platform simplifies embedded product development by
eliminating the complexity and risk of custom board designs. The
Digi ConnectCore 8M Nano development kit provides multiple
display interfaces, camera, audio, Digi XBee® modules and other
hardware options for optimal flexibility and user experience.
Digi ConnectCore 8M Nano strikes an optimal balance of
performance, power and cost. It’s suitable for a wide range of
industrial, medical, transportation and agricultural products,
and features scalable, power-eicient ARM® Cortex®-A53 and
Cortex-M7 processors, rich multimedia and advanced connectivity.
Digi ConnectCore 8M Nano is ideal for Internet of Things (IoT)
applications such as Human Machine Interface (HMI), equipment
monitoring, audio/voice, edge compute and machine learning. The
development board includes two Digi XBee connectors to enable
cellular, short- and long-range connectivity.
With twenty years of embedded SOM experience enabling millions
of globally connected products, Digi is a trusted embedded and IoT
solutions provider, simplifying the way customers design, build and
deploy connected applications. Digi also oers cellular integration
support, certification assistance, and custom design and build
services to get your products to market smarter and faster.
