IBASE RM-N8M series SMARC 2.0 CPU modules

IBASE’s RM-N8M SMARC 2.0 computer-on-modules feature 64-bit NXP i.MX8M application processors with ARM technologies for industrial and transportation computing solutions.

The scalable platforms power various embedded systems with flexible and expandable features for smart factory, imaging, machine vision, gateway, in-flight entertainment and rolling stock applications including passenger information, entertainment and communications systems.

The RM-N8M SMARC series targets lower power and small form factor systems. Measuring 82 x 50 mm, it is said to feature flexibility in terms of platform design and customisation for end-user applications, while reducing development time and accelerating time to market.

Equipped with 3 GB soldered LPDDR4 and up to 64 GB eMMC Flash memory, it has an extensive set of I/O support with 1x GbE, 2x USB 3.0/2.0, 2x MIPI CSI-2 video inputs, 2x PCI-E (x1) Gen2, 2x SPI/eSPI, 4x UART,4x I²C, 2x I²S and 12x GPIO. Display connections are provided by a 1080p MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI) and HDMI V2.0a with up to 4K resolution.

The ARM Cortex-A53 based modules have been pre-qualified with Yocto v2.5 and Android 9 operating systems. The commercial-grade variant supports dual/quad-core 1.5 GHz processors and a 0 to +70°C operating temperature range, while industrial-grade counterparts run with dual/quad-core 1.3 GHz CPUs and at -40 to +85°C extended temperature. Also available is the RP-103-SMC, a 3.5″ disk-size evaluation carrier board providing a broad range of interface and a 12–24 VDC input.
