i.MX 8 Family of Applications Processors-1

Transforming interactions in ways you've never imagined TARGET APPLICATIONS ► Automotive infotainment—instrument cluster, head unit, heads-up display (HUD), rear seat entertainment and full digital electronic cockpit (eCockpit) ► Advanced industrial human machine interface (HMI) and control ► Single-board computers ► Home/Building MULTIPLE SYSTEMS, ONE PROCESSOR ► Easily combine multiple systems into one Build multiple platforms with multiple operating systems on a single i.MX 8 processor. The i.MX 8 full-chip hardware-based virtualization, system MMU, resource partitioning and split GPU and display architecture enable faster time-to-market and lower cost than simple hypervisor techniques alone. ► Secure Your System with SECO HSM Top-of-the-line security via the SECO (security controller) with an isolated, dedicated Hardware Security Module (HSM) to protect the system and its connections. ► Isolate key systems with on-chip hardware firewalls Isolate critical services such as over-the-air (OTA)upgrades by running within 16 separate run-time programmable hardware firewall domains. ► Improve your system reliability with FDSOI Built using 28 nm FDSOI, the i.MX 8 applications processor enables improved MTBF and decreases soft error rates due to FDSOI's inherently high immunity to alpha particle flux. THE NEW USER INTERACTION PARADIGM ► Create advanced vision-based HMI systems High-performance end-to-end vision processing for vision-based assistance, tracking and object detection. ► 360-degree expanded sight Utilize multi-camera input, digital stitching and VX vision extensions and provide a view from any angle. ► Multi-domain voice recognition Utilize the Arm® Cortex®-A72, Cortex A53 and Cortex-M4F cores as well as the HiFi 4 DSP* for advanced echo cancellation, key word detection and speech recognition for hands-off interaction. MULTI-DISPLAY & MULTI-DOMAIN FUNCTIONALITY ► Four screens of independent content Develop innovative, multi-screen platforms through the ability to drive up to four 1080p screens with independent content, or a single 4K screen. ► Ensure your display stays up and correct SafeAssure® ASIL-B ready hardware protects critical visual information with fail-over-capable quality of service to any display. ► Offload time-critical tasks Utilize dual Cortex-M4F cores for time-critical tasks such as backup camera display, audio control and general system monitoring and wakeup.
