The "smartest" i.MX 8 module
Based on the NXP i.MX 8M Plus SoC, the phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus is the "most intelligent" PHYTEC module. Equipped with up to 4 Cortex-A53, one Cortex-M7 for real-time applications, as well as a unique combination of a large number of multimedia interfaces with a powerful NPU (Neural Processing Unit), the i.MX 8M Plus SoC is ideal for machine learning (ML ), Image processing, advanced multimedia and industrial IoT applications.
The scalable and size-optimized phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus is the perfect basis for using all the i.MX 8M Plus functions in areas where intelligent and fast processing of multimedia data is required in the smallest of spaces. Be it in the smart home (e.g. home automation), the smart city (e.g. people/traffic monitoring), Industry 4.0 (e.g. intelligent robot control, HMI) or in IIoT applications (e.g. edge computing).
With the phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus, the necessary, highly complex parts of the circuit design are already taken care of, which enables simple and cost-effective application development. Due to the compact size of the module (40 mm x 37 mm) and the fact that almost all interfaces are routed to the outside, the phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus can also be used in all application areas for which the i.MX 8M Plus Microcontroller is provided.
The practical plug-in variant of the module is advantageous for the first prototypes. Later, when producing large quantities, the soldering variant is suitable for optimizing costs.
