Introduction
The i.MX 8 series of applications processors is a feature- and performance-scalable multicore platform that includes single-, dual-, and quad-core families based on the Arm® Cortex® architecture—including combined Cortex-A72 + Cortex-A53, Cortex-A35, and Cortex-M4 based solutions for advanced graphics, imaging, machine vision, audio, voice, video, and safety-critical applications (NXP).
The available versions are:
- i.MX8(PREPRODUCTION): Advanced Graphics, Performance and Virtualization.
- i.MX8M: Advanced Audio, Voice and Video.
- i.MX8X(PREPRODUCTION): Safety certifiable and efficient performance.
