MCIMX8-8X-BB

Multisensory Enablement Kit Based on i.MX 8QuadXPlus Applications Processors The i.MX 8QuadXPlus Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) is ideal for safety-certifiable and efficient performance requirements. The NXP i.MX 8QuadXPlus Multisensory Enablement Kit (MEK) provides a comprehensive platform for quick evaluation and development of the Arm® Cortex® A35 + Cortex-M4F based i.MX 8QuadXPlus, i.MX 8DualXPlus and i.MX 8DualX applications processors as well as the NXP PF8100 power management integrated circuit (PMIC) solution and sensors. The MEK offers a high-level integration to support graphics, video, image processing, audio, and voice functions. It is complete with highly optimized drivers and software, the i.MX 8X enables broad-based applications for the embedded industrial and automotive markets. The kit includes an LVDS to HDMI adapter for simple out-ofthe-box bring up. It has LPDDR4, eMMC, and QSPI memory options, 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, USB 3.0 connectors and PCIe high-speed interfaces ideal for connected, high performance embedded applications. For audio, video, and HMI evaluations, it brings out LVDS and MIPI-DSI connectors, and a headphone 3.5 mm audio jack. The i.MX 8QuadXPlus MEK consists of a CPU board and an optional Base board MCIMX8-8X-BB (ordered separately). The LVDS to HDMI adapter board is included with the MCIMX8QXP-CPU. Extended Audio features are supported by an Audio card (IMX-AUD-IO) which is included with the Base Board. TARGET APPLICATIONS  Automotive—instrument cluster, infotainment, display audio, rear seat entertainment, smart antenna, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2X), gateway and camera systems  Industrial vehicle—avionics cockpit display, in-flight entertainment, train and heavy equipment HMI  Advanced industrial human machine interface (HMI) and control—PLC, I/O controller, home/building control  Robotics—drone, mobile service robot  Building Control—fire and security panel, elevator control, HVAC control  Healthcare—patient monitor  Networking—specialty gateway, low-end video conference terminal  Mobile payment—payment systems  General-purpose HMI solutions GRAPHICS, VIDEO, AND AUDIO i.MX 8QUADXPLUS MEK The MEK has hardware accelerated video, graphics, and audio processing capabilities. The integrated video supports encode and decode for h.264 as well as decode for h.265. The graphics engine and display processor support rich 3D and 2D user interfaces while the Tensilica® HiFi 4 DSP supports audio pre- and post- processing, key word detection and speech recognition for hands-off interaction. Applications like infotainment, clusters, display audio, HMI, surveillance, and robotics can take advantage of the high level of multimedia integration. HMI AND CONNECTIVITY i.MX 8QUADXPLUS MEK CONTENTS Today, Human Machine Interface (HMI) must respond accurately, and in miliseconds, to touch screen and gesture inputs. Connectivity is a must, demanding increasingly faster and more reliable wired and wireless capabilities associated with security to protect sensitive data and privacy. The i.MX i.MX 8QuadXPlus MEK provides capabilities for development of these key functionalities.
