About This Item
Overview
Details
Digi ConnectCore® 8M Mini, based on the NXP® i.MX 8M Mini application processor, is a secure integrated system-on-module (SOM) platform. The Mini is designed for a wide range of industrial, medical, agricultural and transportation applications, including Internet of Things (IoT), human-machine interface (HMI), equipment monitoring, audio/voice, graphics/video, edge computing and machine learning.Digi ConnectCore 8M Mini features four power-efficient Arm® Cortex®-A53 cores, one Cortex-M4 core, and the Digi Microcontroller Assist Cortex-M0, which allow it to minimize power consumption while maintaining a high standard of performance. With a 10+ year product lifecycle, OEMs can reduce their development costs and achieve a lower total cost of ownership by leveraging pre-certified wireless connectivity, remote management, cloud integration, and complete Linux Yocto Project and Android software platform support.
