This board development started in April 2021 and finished August 2021 but the semiconductor shortages didn’t allow us to test the prototypes until recently. We assembled 4 boards and all theyare alive and boot.
The features are:
- MIMX8ML8DVNLZAB – Quad Core Arm Cortex-A53 running at 1.8Ghz with Arm Cortex-M7 co-processor running at 800Mhz and 2.3 TOPS Neural Processing Unit.
- 6GB LPDDR4 RAM
- Power management
- configuration EEPROM
- status LED
- LCD LVDS connector compatible with LCD-OLinuXino displays
- MIPI DSI connector
- 2x MIPI CSI comera connectors with Raspberry Pi compatible pinout
- 220 signals on 6 0.05″ step connectors with essential peripherials like:
- PCIe-3.0
- 2x CAN FD
- HDMI 2.0a
- SPDIF
- SAI
- 2x USB 3.0
- 2x Gigabit Ethernet one of them with TSN
- eMMC 5.1
- SDIO 3.0 200Mhz
- 4 UART
- 6 I2C
- 3 SPI
- JTAG
Unfortunately we only managed to find 24Gb LPDDR4 for the prototypes so instead of 6GB they are with only 3GB of RAM.
Now is time to prepare Linux and Android images! NXP provide iMX8MPlus with Linux Kernel 5.10 and Android 11.
MIMX8ML8DVNLZAB is industrial grade -40+105C

What about SW support in *upstream* U-boot, Linux etc? Here’s an excellent article about it: https://drewdevault.com/2022/01/18/Pine64s-weird-priorities.html

Very interesting board, do you have an estimate on price and when it will be available in your shop?

still no info from NXP when we can purchase iMX8Mplus SOC

Hey! any update on the project ?
Jun 02, 2022 @ 10:18:56
no components

How many PCIe gen3 lines?
If >1 can these be used separately (“bifurcation”)?
Do you have any other SOMs currently available with PCIe exposed?
(PCIe gen3 sounds REALLY exciting!)

Any chance of you doing a CM4 version of this?
