The module provides all of the must-have peripherals of a standard embedded system and moreover includes multiple development demanding parts soldered right on the COM, such as: 1Gb Ethernet PHY + Audio chip + LVDS bridge + PCI Express clock generator + WiFi and Bluetooth module, thus significantly reduces new product time-to-market.

This is a passive-cooled solution, available with highly effective screwed heatsink, essential for harsh industrial environments and battery-powered applications

Three robust, 100-pin, shielded connectors with wide mating length and operating temperature range provide perfect board-to-board connection for demanding applications. These connectors with 3mm stacking height feature shielding metal fittings along the connector signal pins, both on the module and the baseboard, ideal for a stable-performance embedded system as well as for conformal coating.

Furthermore, to ensure this i.MX 8M COM / SOM fits into your final device, its design was compressed into less than 2/3 of a credit card surface area, 1.6mm thin, HDI micro-via Level III, 12-layer PCB.

The confidential schematic of the iMX8M Industrial Module in PDF, providing answers to engineering questions, is also included in complete development kit, and becomes available right after the development kit purchase.
