Highlights

High-Performance Machine Learning

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.


Seamless Camera Integration

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.


Torizon for Remote Updates and Fleet Monitoring

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.


Ready for Hard-Real-Time

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.


High-Performance, Pre-Certified Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

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.


64-bit Performance

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.


Toradex SMARC Family

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!



Migrate To Toradex SMARC

Do you already have a SMARC product and want to leverage Toradex's unique offerings to lower your total cost of ownership and obtain better supply security? The Toradex SMARC family maximizes compatibility with a wide range of other SMARC providers, making it quick and easy to migrate your project to Toradex’s SMARC!

Check your Carrier Board Compatibility

While SMARC is a standard used by many different companies, there can be variations in each vendor’s pin-out. Toradex SMARC products maximize compatibility with a wide range of other providers!
