NXP i.MX processors with 1 or 2 Cortex-A72 cores stocking at Mouser

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the i.MX 8Quadmax and 8Quadplus applications processors from NXP Semiconductors.

The multi-core applications processors are suitable for applications in automotive infotainment, advanced industrial human machine interface (HMI) and control, heads-up displays, and machine vision and tracking devices.

The i.MX 8Quadmax and 8Quadplus enable multi-OS platform deployment through full-chip hardware virtualisation and domain protection.

Based on four Arm Cortex- A53 cores, two Cortex-M4F cores, and one or two Cortex- A72 cores in the Quadplus and Quadmax processors respectively, the scalable devices also incorporate a HiFi 4 DSP core for pre- and post-audio processing and two GPUs.

The processors offer end-to-end vision processing, making them a suitable choice for developing vision-based HMI systems. They can support up to four screens of independent content at 1080p, or a single 4K screen.

The devices use hardware-based virtualization, split GPU and display architecture, and resource partitioning are claimed to offer benefits to cost and time-to-market.

Mouser also stocks the i.MX 8QuadMax multisensory enablement kit (MEK), a platform for developing and evaluating applications for the embedded automotive and industrial markets.

Offering integration to support functions including graphics, video, audio, and voice functions, the i.MX 8QuadMax MEK CPU board includes the necessary software and drivers to create and evaluate broad-based applications.
