1. Introduction¶
Supporting NXP’s i.MX 8X with up to four 1.2GHz Cortex®-A35 processor cores plus a Cortex®-M4F real-time co-processor, the VAR-SOM-MX8X is pin-compatible with the VAR-SOM-MX8, VAR-SOM-MX6 and VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL. Allowing Variscite's customers a high level of scalability, extended lifetime availability and reduced development time, cost and risk. This highly scalable solution provides built-in safety features, highly integrated multimedia support and efficient power/performance architecture.
The VAR-SOM-MX8X is part of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin Family, enabling seamless scalability between performance tiers without redesigning the carrier board.
