Kontron
New motherboard for embedded applications
The embedded pITX motherboard iMX8M from Kontron offers high graphics performance and connectivity. The SBC solution is suitable for embedded applications in manufacturing or as an IoT gateway
With the pITX-iMX8M motherboard in 2.5-inch Pico-ITX format,Kontron is launching a powerful SBC (Single Board Computer) solution for embedded applications in manufacturing or for use as an IoT gateway. The board has two or four-core NXP CPUs based on the Arm Cortex-A53 architecture with up to 1.5 GHz.
With its full 4K UltraHD resolution and optional high-dynamic range, the board serves as a basis for demanding graphics applications: Displays can be connected via an LVDS dual channel, a mini display port and an HDMI connection. The motherboard also has two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, two rear USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports via the internal header, eight GPIO and an S/PDIF internal header, audio line-in, line-out and a microphone input.
For applications in industrial automation and medical technology
The motherboard is not only suitable as an economical arm SBC solution for embedded applications in medical technology, industrial automation and building automation due to its compact shape, low power consumption and its M.2 half-size connector with PCIe, USB 3.0 and micro SIM interface. The board also meets the requirements of demanding environments thanks to its soldered RAM and flash memory. In addition, it enables processor configurations on 8M QuadLite or 8M Dual, each in the commercial or industrial version with an extended temperature range of -40 to +60°C or up to +85°C.
Kontron offers both a Yocto Linux BSP (Board Support Package) and an Android BSP for the pITX-iMX8M.
