General Description

The Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC is an integrated platform solution with Quad Cortex®-A53 processors operating up to 1.8 GHz and pre-certified tril-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax WLAN 2x2 plus dual-mode Bluetooth® 5.4 LE module.

Quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 processors are integrated with an NPU of 2.3 TOPS that greatly accelerates machine learning inference. The vision engine is composed of two MIPI-CSI camera inputs and an HDR-capable Image Signal Processor (ISP) capable of 375 MPixels/s. The advanced multimedia capabilities include several display interfaces, HDMI 2.0a (eARC), MIPI-DSI, and LVDS. These interfaces can utilize the onboard 1080p60 video encode and decode in H.265 and H.264 format, along with an onboard GPU that is a 3D and 2D graphic accelerator supporting 1 GPixel/s, OpenVG 1.1, Open GL ES3.1, Vulkan, and Open CL 1.2 FP. Multiple audio and microphone interfaces are available along with the audio processing capabilities of the HiFi 4 DSP operating at 800MHz for Immersive Audio and Voice systems.

The Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC features an Arm® Cortex®-M7 microcontroller running at 800 MHz for customer applications to offload the Cortex®-A53 processor for real time and low power operation. A variety of robust control networks for industrial applications are possible via CAN-FD interfaces, SPI, I2C, UART, USB 3.0, and dual Gb Ethernet.
