NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK)

NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8QuadMax Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) CPU Board (MCIMX8QM-CPU) provides a platform for the evaluation and development of applications based on the Arm® Cortex® A72 | A53 + Cortex-M4F based i.MX 8QuadMax and i.MX 8QuadPlus Applications Processors. This Kit also provides a platform for NXP PF8100 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) solution and sensors.

The 8QuadMax MEK CPU Board (MCIMX8QM-CPU) offers high-level integration to support graphics, video, image processing, audio, and voice functions. It is complete with highly optimized drivers and software, the i.MX 8 enables broad-based applications for the embedded industrial and automotive markets.

The Kit includes an LVDS to HDMI Adapter Card for simple out-of-the-box bring up. It has LPDDR4, eMMC, and QSPI memory options, 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, USB 3.0 connectors, and PCIe high-speed interfaces ideal for connected, high-performance embedded applications. For audio, video, and HMI evaluations, it brings out LVDS and MIPI-DSI connectors and a headphone 3.5mm audio jack.
