Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC

Our customers asked for a high performance, robust SOM that simplifies their BOM, has reliable connectivity, uses a standard form factor, and is globally certified. One with multiple software options, a proven security architecture, long term software support, and security fixes.

Our new Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC (What is SMARC?) is powered by NXP’s innovative i.MX 8M Plus processor, NXP PMIC PCA9450, and our Sona WiFi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.3/5.4 wireless module families based on leading NXP and Infineon solutions, high performance LPDDR4 RAM, and eMMC storage. We combine this with our common SMARC carrier board; together they serve as a single board computer (SBC) that can speed your product to market. Alternately, work with us to create a custom carrier that fits your mechanical, environmental, temperature, and interface requirements.

Note: Versions of this product featuring the Sterling-LWB5+ are not recommended for new design (NRND). We recommend parts featuring our Sona IF573 (and soon featuring our Sona NX611) for new designs.

• Powerful Heterogenous Multiprocessing: Up to 1.8 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 microprocessor and 800 MHz Cortex-M7 microcontroller allow you to run Linux and an RTOS on dedicated, hardware-firewalled subsystems.
• Dedicated Machine Learning: High-performance edge machine learning via an integrated neural processing unit, delivering up to 2.3 TOPS.
• Diversity of Interfaces: Multiple display, network, data, audio and camera interfaces.
• SMARC 2.1.1 Standard Form Factor: 82mm x 50mm SMARC edge connector form factor which includes onboard ethernet PHYs and a USB hub controller. One design supports multiple processor, memory, and wireless configurations.
• Hardware Upgrade Roadmap: Build a product design that can easily be upgraded to the latest processors and wireless options as future Ezurio SOMs based on the SMARC standard are released.
