Core System Components

i.MX8 SoC Family

The i.MX8M Dual / 8M QuadLite / 8M Quad processors feature advanced implementation of a quad

Arm® Cortex®-A53 core, which operates at speeds of up to 1.5 GHz. A general- purpose Cortex®-M4

core processor is for low-power processing.

The following figure describes the i.MX8 SoC’s main features (For more details refer to NXP’s

i.MX8 datasheet).
