Featuring the HummingBoard Pulse & Ripple Carrier Platforms Designed for NXP’s Arm-based i.MX8M & i.MX8M Mini SoCs – The New Family Offers Ultimate Flexibility for Range of Multimedia, AI, Automation & IoT Applications.
SolidRun today introduces iMX8-based HummingBoard-M family of single board computers, including the media & IoT centric HummingBoard Pulse and skimmer HummingBoard Ripple, designed for the NXP i.MX8M & i.MX8M Mini based SOMs. The new family offers a highly versatile and scalable variety of configurations for simple development and easy implementation for a wide range of audio-visual, IoT, industrial automation, machine vision, AI and IoT applications.
The new family includes two SOMs (System on Modules) designed around NXPs powerful i.MX8 family of Arm processors. i.MX8M SOM offers high-end multimedia abilities including 4K@60 HDR, 20 audio channels, HDMI 2.0, and rich connectivity options. For even better power-efficiency and lower thermal envelope we’ve designed i.MX8M Mini SOM – offering a well-rounded foundation boasting best power-performance in its class. A further configuration for the new i.MX8M Mini SOM is the addition of a Gyrfalcon Lightspeeur® SPR2803 AI acceleration chip, turning it into a robust artificial intelligence building block for deployable AI inference at the edge.
Supplementing the i.MX8 based SOMs, we have designed two deployment ready single board computers, developed around our popular HummingBoard design including Pulse & Ripple. HummingBoard Pulse has received a recent update and offers a range of connectivity options designed to get the most out of both SOMs, while HummingBoard Ripple is more cost effective and highlights the features supported by the i.MX8M Mini SOM. Both carrier boards are compatible with both SOMs, and together offer a scalable and flexible family of platforms allowing OEMs and developers fast time-to-market, lower developmental costs and simpler development cycle for realization of a wide range of solutions.
