Yokneam, Israel 23-January-2018 – Compulab introduces CL-SOM-iMX8 – a miniature System-on-Module built around the recently launched NXP i.MX8M System-on-Chip family.

High performance video and graphics capabilities and versatile feature-set make CL-SOM-iMX8 a powerful solution for a wide range of applications such as industrial HMI, digital signage, image processing and professional audio equipment.

CL-SOM-iMX8 is designed to bring out the full I/O capabilities of the i.MX8M SoC, offering Gbit Ethernet, PCIe, 2 USB3.0 ports, 4 UARTs and up-to 90 GPIOs. Display connectivity is supported with HDMI2.0, LVDS and MIPI-DSI interfaces with resolutions of up-to 4096 x 2160. In addition, CL-SOM-iMX8 features on-board WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1.

CL-SOM-iMX8 is offered with full industrial temperature range of -40C to 85C.

Software Support

CL-SOM-iMX8 is provided with full BSPs and ready-to-run images for Linux and Android operating system. The CL-SOM-iMX8 BSP includes Linux kernel 4.9, Yocto Project file-system, Android 8.0 and U-Boot boot-loader.

Evaluation and Design Support

CL-SOM-iMX8 is supported with SB-iMX8 carrier board and EVAL-iMX8 evaluation kit facilitating streamlined and rapid product development.

SB-iMX8 carrier-board has been designed for CL-SOM-iMX8 evaluation and application development. SB-iMX8 schematics, bill of materials and layout are available for CL-SOM-iMX8 customers to be used as a reference design for a wide range of industrial use cases.

EVAL-iMX8 evaluation kit includes CL-SOM-iMX8 and SB-iMX8 hardware set, an optional LCD panel, PSU, cables and a technical support contract.
