2. Highlights
01. Superior performance with cool system experience
The i.MX 8M Mini family of processors features advanced implementation of a quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 core, which operates at speeds of up to 1.8 GHz and also on-board 2GB DDR4 RAM take users lightsome system experience.
02. H.265, VP9 decoder
It can support H.265 and VP9 decoding up to 1080P@ 60FPS, compared with H.264, mean decode efficiency improved by 50%, while band width and capacity is only half of H.264.
03. Later operation system with higher security level
Forlinx SOM FETMX8MM-C can support Android9.0 and Linux4.14(QT5.10) both are 64-bit systems, later optimized systems and UI take uses higher security and better HMI experience.
04. A wide range of audio interfaces
The FETMX8MM-C has a wide range of audio interfaces are available, including I2S, AC97, TDM, and S/PDIF; It can support five SAI channels which can be configured to IIS, AC97 and TDM; It can also support FLAC7.1 output and ring audio input which is appliable for hi-fi music system and sound recognition system solutions.
05. Hybrid architecture and multi-core
FETMX8MMX-C system on module consists of a Cortex-M4 core with frequency up to 400MHz,it can communicate with Cortex-A53 by internal AHB, it can be used for for low-power processing and real-time task processing
06. 10+ years product life time
i.MX8M Mini processor's life time is more than 10 years, which ensures users of stability of product supplying.
