SPEAR-MX8

Supporting NXP's i.MX 8QuadMax, the SPEAR-MX8 allows designers to use a single System on Module in a broad range of applications to achieve short time-to-market for their current innovations, while still accommodating potential R&D directions and marketing opportunities. This highly scalable SoM is an ideal solution for embedded products requiring advanced performance processing, high-end graphics, Ultra HD video capabilities and a variety of high-speed interfaces and connectivity options, such as USB3, CAN FD, and many more.
