Given the state of the art in the embedded systems industry, RidgeRun is continually working to incorporate the latest platforms into its list of supported products. Consequently, it is now time for NXP's i.MX8 series applications processors. The i.MX8 series of application processors is a multi-core platform that, like its predecessors, comes in several flavors: single-, dual-, and quad-core families based on the ARM Cortex architecture.

The following pages provide several key topics to harness the processing power and features the i.MX8 processor series has to offer.

• SOC Overview section that enumerates some of the specs/product families.
• Carrier Boards section that summarizes the several carrier board options for the i.MX8.
• i.MX6 vs i.MX8 section that presents a comparison between the i.MX6 Quad/i.MX6 Dual, i.MX7 Dual, and i.MX8 Dual/i.MX8 QuadLite/i.MX8 Quad platforms.
