i.MX 7 Series Applications Processors

Product catalog summary
Target Applications: The i.MX 7 series is designed for a variety of applications including building automation, wearables, point-of-sale systems, enterprise scanners and printers, e-readers, smart home controls, patient monitoring, and IoT solutions.
Architecture and Processing: The i.MX 7 series is notable for its use of both ARM Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores, offering a heterogeneous asymmetric architecture. This allows for a single-chip solution capable of running sophisticated operating systems while providing real-time responsiveness. It features four independently controlled resource domains for effective and secure partitioning of system resources.
Key Features: The series includes a Cortex-A7 core for power-efficient processing, a multi-level memory system supporting various external memory types, and advanced security features for secure e-commerce and DRM. It also supports multimedia enhancements, dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, and an electronic paper display controller.
Interface and Connectivity: The processors offer extensive interface flexibility, supporting high-speed USB, multiple expansion card ports, Ethernet controllers, PCIe, ADCs, CAN ports, and various other interfaces.
Software and Tools: The i.MX 7 series is supported by the SABRE Board for Smart Devices and comes with Linux pre-installed. It also supports Android OS and FreeRTOS for the Cortex-M4 core. The ecosystem includes tool chains, software, codecs, middleware, and design services.
Device Options: The series includes the i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual options, differing mainly in the number of Cortex-A7 cores and Ethernet capabilities. Both options offer full security features and are pin-to-pin and power compatible.

i.MX 7 Series Applications Processors-1

POWER WIFI ETHERNET HEART RATE BLUETOOTH HOME SECURITY CAMERA |- LAN-1 Enabling power- i.MX 7 Series Applications Processors The i.MX 7 series is a highly integrated multi-market applications processor designed to enable secure and portable applications within the Internet of Things. TARGET APPLICATIONS ► Enterprise scanners and printers ► Smart home controls The i.MX 7 series is the first device in the market utilizing both the ARM® Cortex®-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores for general- purpose programmable processing. Its heterogeneous asymmetric architecture provides the ultimate flexibility for customers by enabling a single-chip solution that can run sophisticated operating systems and provide real- time responsiveness. The i.MX 7 series incorporates four independently controlled resource domains for maximum effectiveness and security when partitioning system resources such as memory and peripherals. The i.MX 7 series is supported by NXP's companion power management ICs The features of the i.MX 7 series processors include: ► Cortex-A7—The Cortex-A7 core enhances the capabilities of portable, connected applications by fulfilling the ever- increasing power-efficient MIPS needs of operating systems ► Heterogeneous processing architecture—The dual-core architecture enables the device to run a rich operating system like Linux® on the Cortex-A7 core and an RTOS on ► Multi-level memory system—The multi-level memory system of the Cortex-A7 processor is based on the L1 instruction and data caches, L2 cache, and internal and external memory. The processors support many types of external memory devices, including DDR3, low-voltage DDR3L, LPDDR2 and LPDDR3, NOR Flash, NAND Flash (MLC and SLC), QSPI and managed NAND including
