MaaXBoard

The MaaXBoard is a low-cost, NXP i.MX 8M processor-based,

single board computer ideal for embedded computing and
smart edge IoT applications. The i.MX 8M family of application
processors are based on the Arm® Cortex®-A53 and Cortex-M4
cores which provide industry-leading audio, voice, and
video processing for applications that scale from consumer
home audio to industrial building automation and embedded
computers. The MaaXBoard is production ready, FCC, CE, and
RoHS certified. It is available in quantities from one to thousands.
The MaaXBoard contains everything necessary to support and create a Linux,
Android, Windows 10 IoT Core, or other OS based system. The platform offers
several on-board peripherals including 2 GB of DDR4 memory, a Gigabit
Ethernet port, dual USB 3.0 host ports, HDMI output, MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, WiFi,
Bluetooth Low Energy, and MicroSD card slot. A Raspberry Pi hat compatible
expansion connector also provides interfaces for UART, SPI, I2C, and GPIO.
These combined capabilities make it an ideal platform for investigating AI, IOT, FEATURES
and multimedia applications.
Processor
Each MaaXBoard is shipped with a custom passive Heatsink and Quick Start - NXP i.MX 8M Processor with Quad Arm
guide to assist developers with getting started on their hardware or software Cortex-A53 and single Cortex-M4F
development project. A user supplied 5V/3A USB Type C power supply is Memory
required to power the board. A 16 GB microSD card and a HDMI cable is
- 2GB DDR4 SDRAM
recommended for booting the MaaXBoard and connecting it to a LCD monitor.
- MicroSD Slot
