Datasheet

The i.MX 8M Nano EVK hardware and software board support
packages provide a comprehensive platform for evaluation
of the i.MX 8M Nano and i.MX 8M Nano Lite applications
processors utilizing 1, 2, or 4 Arm
®
Cortex
®
-A53 cores and
1 Cortex-M7 core.
The EVK offers a large assortment of features to support
graphics, video, image processing, audio and voice functions.
Optimized drivers and software complement the EVK and
enable a variety of applications for the embedded consumer
and industrial markets.
The EVK topology consists of a baseboard and a compute
module. The compute module is a size-optimized design that
contains the i.MX 8M Nano applications processor, PMIC,
DRAM, eMMC, and provides wireless connectivity via
an SDIO-based Wi-Fi
®
/Bluetooth
®
module. The i.MX 8M Nano
and i.MX 8M Mini use the same baseboard, proof that a single
hardware design can support both solutions.
The compute module plugs into the baseboard, which
provides MIPI-DSI and MIPI-CSI connectors, a USB 3.0
connector, and PCIe
®
high-speed interfaces ideal for
embedded and connected high-performance applications.
In addition, the baseboard has a microSD™/MMC slot,
10/100/1000 Ethernet port, and includes a 3.5 mm
headphone jack. Included in the box is the MIPI-DSI to
HDMI adapter card and miniSAS cable, to provide
out-of-the-box display capabilities.
