Highlights
The neural network processing unit (NPU) was built from the ground up to excel at deep learning inference, delivering performance several times greater than CPU and GPU solutions within the same power envelope. Toradex offers seamless integration with widely used machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow.
See real-world AI deployments on our Artificial Intelligence use case page.
Toradex collaborates with top embedded camera module providers to deliver a range of easily integrated camera solutions, minimizing both time-to-market and associated risks.
The SMARC iMX8M Plus SoM is available with a tightly integrated Torizon Cloud accelerating the development and maintenance of your products. Some key features include highly secure and reliable remote updates, fleet monitoring and remote access.
The heterogeneous multicore architecture enables critical hard-real-time tasks to be offloaded to the Cortex-M7 processor, ensuring ultra-low latency. Toradex offers development tools and OS support, for e.g. FreeRTOS, to streamline the process. Additionally, the asymmetric multicore setup can support a connected low-power mode or enhance security. With an 800 MHz clock speed, the Cortex-M7 is a powerful and efficient microcontroller.
Streamline your design with pre-certified wireless solutions, covering everything from modules to antennas, making end-device certification more predictable and cost-effective. The latest 802.11ac standard, along with support for multi-antenna configurations, ensures an excellent out-of-the-box user experience. Complementing this, Bluetooth 5 support offers high performance and compatibility with modern Bluetooth devices.
The NXP i.MX 8M Plus SoC features up to four high-performance 64-bit Armv8 Cortex-A53 cores, offering a cost-effective solution for running Linux with a modern graphical interface while delivering sufficient performance for typical industrial and medical applications.
The SMARC iMX8M Plus is part of the Toradex SMARC family. This family brings all the advantages of using a Toradex product to the SMARC ecosystem, including Toradex quality and reliability, ease of use, and a great developer experience!
Our SMARC family maximizes compatibility with other SMARC vendors, so even if you already have a SMARC-based carrier board, you can easily migrate to Toradex SMARC!
