Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC

Under Development

Nitrogen8M Plus SMARC is the latest in our line of i.MX based Nitrogen platforms, leveraging the i.MX 8M Plus processors from NXP and compatible with the SMARC 2.1 standard. The Nitrogen 8M Plus SMARC is an integrated platform solution with Quad Cortex®-A53 processors operating up to 1.8 GHz and pre-certified dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN plus dual-mode Bluetooth® 5.2 Low Energy 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 Nitrogen 8M Plus SMARC has several product SKUs providing different eMMC and LPDDR4 memory configurations.

Boundary Devices offers industry leading OS development and support to help customers get to market quickly and efficiently. Because we only design i.MX based hardware, we are able to optimize our OS development and provide the most up-to-date operating system versions available.

All of our Nitrogen SBCs and SOMs support a variety of OS options frequently requested in the embedded design space. Supported OS include:

Android
All of the boards in our Nitrogen6 and Nitrogen8 families support Android. Our internal development team works hard to ensure the latest version is available for development.
Linux
We have developed a variety of Linux OS available for our boards including the latest releases of Yocto, Ubuntu, Buildroot, and Debian.
FreeRTOS
Nitrogen boards that feature a processor with ARM Cortex-M4 support FreeRTOS

Information on set-up and image download links can be found on our Software Wiki or by contacting our support team at Support@boundarydevices.com.

Boundary Devices does not support application development. However, we are partners with a variety of 3rd party application development companies, including a global partnership with Qt. You can find our list of partners on our Partners page.
