Yocto Release Y2022.12

For the CPU NXP i.MX8M Plus F&S offers a Yocto based environment. We offer the Linux BSP fsimx8mp-Y2022.12, which is based on Yocto.

Our standard configuration, which is intended to give a first impression of the functionality of the board, includes the following features: Busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and many more.

The BSP contains the source code packages of U-Boot (2020.04), Linux kernel (based on 5.4.70) and Yocto (3.0 Zeus) adapted by F&S. Also included is our cross toolchain, some sample applications, and all binaries in the default configuration. Last but not least, detailed documents on the hardware are included, as well as the First Steps documentation for an easy start.

F&S offer a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the distribution Fedora 27 for free download. All packages necessary to compile our software are already installed. Also, all services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the correct directories. With this virtual machine it doesn't matter if you use Windows or Linux as host. Simply download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and development can begin immediately.

Computer on Module with NXP i.MX 8M Plus

Another member of the compact PicoCore™ Computer On Module product family is offered with NXP i.MX 8M Plus CPU.
The form factor size of only 35 x 40mm allows the use in compact housings. The module features excellent multimedia functions and is ideally suited for machine learning and industrial IoT applications thanks to its reliability.

Heterogeneous Multicore Processor Concept

Starting with the i.MX8M Nano CPU and the i.MX8M Mini CPU, the i.MX8M 8M Plus CPU from NXP rounds off the i.MX8M CPU range.
Several additional functions and interfaces were added, such as machine learning, CortexM7 with 800MHz, LVDS, MIPI-DSI, and HDMI as display interfaces, a high-performance graphics unit (2D/3D), USB 3.0, and CAN-FD to name just a few.

The i.MX 8M Plus is a heterogeneous multicore application processor for embedded modules. Used on the PicoCore™ System on Module, it is ideally suited for applications requiring powerful graphics processing and multimedia features, machine learning, and industrial 4.0 applications.

The processor consists of a Dual or Quad ARM® Cortex®-A53 core with up to 1.8GHz, plus a Cortex®-M7 core for real-time processing at 800MHz. The processor also features a Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
The i.MX 8M Plus features video encode (incl. h.265) and decode, 2D/3D graphics acceleration, and various audio and voice functionalities.

more information on NXP i.MX 8M Plus applications processor

Long term availability until 2036

Another feature is the long availability of the PicoCoreMX8MP until at least 2036.

 

Features and Interfaces

The PicoCore™MX8MP has sufficient memory (RAM and eMMC Flash).

The module offers many interfaces on the 2x 100 pin connectors.

The PicoCore™MX8MP has max. 2x Gigabit Ethernet (opt.. RGMII), 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n WLAN, BT 5.0 LE, 1x USB Host 2.0/3.0, 1x USB Device OTG 2.0/3.0, max. 2x CAN, max. 4x UART, max. 4x I2C, max. 2x SPI and Audio Line In/ Out/ Mic/ Headphone/ I2S. The Dual Image Signal Processor allows a max. of 2x MIPI-CSI cameras. Additionally RTC, max. 4x PWM, SPDIF, ESAI, SAI, and SSI are available.

For display control a MIPI-DSI interface with four lanes or 1-2 LVDS interfaces with four lanes, or an LVDS interface with eight lanes or DVI is available.

Touch panels can be connected externally via I2C.

Operating system

The operating system adapted for the PicoCore™MX8MP is Linux. Linux Yocto supports all interfaces so that simple software development can be guaranteed without great hardware knowledge.

FreeRTOS is available to control the real-time kernel M7.

NXP i.MX 8M Plus Linux Development Board

For an easy start of development, we offer an immediately executable PicoCore™MX8MP starter kit including embedded board, baseboard, display, cables, and access to documentation and software. The software includes the Board Support Package and Toolchain for Bare Metal or FreeRTOS.

This is rounded off by our wide range of software services, workshops, and free support via the forum, e-mail, and telephone.
