Start of series production for the high-performance SBC with NXP i.MX8M Plus processors

Designed for long-term operation, the solution is suitable for a wide range of applications – from supermarket scales, industrial automation and EV charging stations to video surveillance and human-machine interfaces (HMI). Up to three displays can be controlled simultaneously with different content and resolutions, enabling complex user interfaces.
A particular advantage is the integrated AI acceleration (NPU) and support for two MIPI CSI camera connections. This allows modern image processing tasks, such as automatic fruit recognition on self-service scales or visual inspections in industry, to be realised efficiently. Video de/encoders and a camera DSP ensure smooth and low-latency processing of the video data.

Two gigabit ethernet ports are available for secure and flexible networking, enabling the operation of separate networks – a decisive advantage for safety-critical applications, for example for connecting to ERP or cloud systems. Additional interfaces such as USB 3.0, USB 2.0, RS485, UART, I²C, SPI, audio and CAN-FD as well as an integrated Cortex-M7 microcontroller for real-time processing significantly expand the application possibilities. Optional WiFi and bluetooth modules as well as variants for extended temperature ranges are available.

„With the eDM-SBC-iMX8MP, we offer a versatile embedded platform that covers classic industrial applications as well as modern, AI-based systems,“ explains Robert Nerbl, Product Manager – Electronics & Peripherals at DATA MODUL. „In particular, the ability to control multiple displays in parallel and the integrated camera and AI functions open up many new application possibilities in retail and industry.“

The eDM-SBC-iMX8MP is supplied with comprehensive Linux (Yocto) support. Customisation to individual customer requirements is possible at any time. With a typical power consumption of less than 5 watts and the option of passive cooling, the board offers a future-proof embedded basis with long-term availability until at least 2036.
