- 3. 3 / 9 Hardware Specification The MYC-JX8MX CPU Module on the MYD-JX8MX Development Board is using NXP’s 17 x 17 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, FCBGA bare die package i.MX 8M Quad Application Processor (MIMX8MQ6CVAHZAB) which is based on 1.3GHz quad Arm Cortex-A53 and 266MHz Cortex-M4 cores. The i.MX 8M family of applications processors (i.MX 8M Dual / 8M QuadLite / 8M Quad) represent NXP’s latest market of connected streaming audio/video devices, scanning/imaging devices, and various devices requiring high-performance, low-power processors. The i.MX 8M processors feature advanced implementation of a dual/quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 core, which operates at speeds of up to 1.3 GHz. A general-purpose Cortex®-M4 core processor is for low-power processing. The DRAM controller supports 32-bit/16-bit LPDDR4, DDR4, and DDR3L memory. There are a number of other interfaces for connecting peripherals, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, displays, and camera sensors. The i.MX 8M Quad and i.MX 8M Dual processors have hardware acceleration for video playback up to 4K, and can drive the video outputs up to 60 fps. Although the i.MX 8M QuadLite processor does not have hardware acceleration for video decode, it allows for video playback with software decoders if needed. Figure 1-5 i.MX 8M System Block Diagram
