The i.MX 8M Plus evaluation kit from NXP Semiconductors provides a complete evaluation platform for the i.MX 8M Plus embedded multicore heterogeneous applications processors, the first in the i.MX family to integrate a dedicated neural processing unit for advanced machine learning inference at the edge in industrial and IoT applications. The evaluation kit includes a compact compute module with an onboard i.MX 8M Plus Quad processor and a larger baseboard that brings out the broad connectivity needed for product evaluation. The processor integrates four Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 1.8 GHz, plus an 800 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core for low-power real-time processing.
