SOM-Trizeps-VIII-MX8M ( Trizeps VIII )

Description​

The Trizeps VIII is powered by NXP i.MX 8M processor, which is designed to meet the latest market requirements of connected streaming audio/video devices, scanning/imaging devices and various devices demanding high- performance and low-power.

The i.MX 8M family of processors features advanced implementation of a quad ARM® Cortex®-A53 core, which operates at speeds of up to 1.5GHz (consumer version) and 1.3GHz (industrial version). A general purpose Cortex®-M4 core processor is for low-power processing. A 32-bit LPDDR4 is used for memory. There are a number of other i.MX 8M interfaces for connecting peripherals, such as displays, cameras, GPS and sensors, which are extended by components already available on the module:

  • a stereo, hi-fi quality audio-codec.

  • a with up to 4300 LUT to convert parallel display/camera/data-streams to/from MIPI and for user defined programmable logic.

  • a programmable Cortex-M0 Kinetis MCU for realtime processing, capable of reading multiple 16bit analog inputs, usable as resistive touch-controller and for CAN communication.

  • WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and BT 4.2 and 5 ready module

The Trizeps VIII module got a SODIMM200 card edge connector and a 60pin FX11 high-speed board connector. The pinning of both connectors is to a large extent compatible to previous Trizeps modules. The main difference is the new USB3.0 SuperSpeed and GBit Ethernet feature, which use the pins of the now missing parallel address-/databus.

Difference to Trizeps VIII Mini​

The i.MX8M Mini processor of Trizeps VIII Mini benefits from advanced 14nm LPC FinFET Technology, which allows for lesser power-consumption and higher operating frequencies than the i.MX8 used on Trizeps VIII.

But the Trizeps VIII offers more interfaces:

  • HDMI

  • support for 4K displays.

  • two USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 ports.

  • additional 4ch MIPI CSI port.

  • larger L2 cache.

The GPIO pinning between both modules is kept the same for maximum compatibility.
