SODIMM-style modules expand upon i.MX8M and i.MX8M Mini

CPU Module with processor from the i.MX8 series

The new Trizeps VIII uses the i.MX 8M processor from the NXP i.MX8 series. The CPU Module provides the high performance demands of current video, voice, and audio processing, either for industrial or home automation, streaming audio applications, or for modern imaging devices.

Available with Linux and Android operating systems, Windows 10 IoT Core is announced.

• NXP^TM i.MX 8M ARM^® Quad-/Dual-Core Cortex A53 CPU up to 1.5 GHz, additional Cortex M4
• Configurable FPGA, e.g. with MIPI to RGB converter
• Additional NXP^TM Kinetis V ARM^® Cortex M0+ MCU with e.g. CAN, ADC, SPI, I2C interfaces
• Up to 4 GByte LPDDR4-3200 RAM, 32Bit
• 1 GBit Ethernet, USB 3.0
• Onboard WLAN/Bluetooth module (optional)
• LVDS (Single or Dual) Transceiver
• Trizeps SODIMM-200 compatible, compact and scalable

Constantly high quality through multi-stage test of each individual CPU module

To ensure a constantly high quality, each individual CPU module is passed through a multi-stage test. The test result covers 100% of all interfaces.

• AOI/MOI: Multiple automatic and manual optical control of each CPU module during the production.
• JTAG/Boundary Scan Test: JTAG/Boundary Scan Test: The signal of each pin which is accessible via the JTAG chain is checked for connection, shorts, missing pull-up/down resistors. The DDR Ram is tested for row/column pin assignment.
• Functional tests of high-speed and analog interfaces (Ethernet, display, USB, audio, etc.) which are not testable via JTAG

SODIMM Standard

The Trizeps VIII includes the Keith & Koep SODIMM 200 Standard, the world‘s longest existing SODIMM standard. Like no other module standard, the SODIMM 200 ensures the pin compatibility of the Trizeps modules. The main difference of the Trizeps VIII Mini is the missing address/data bus, which is no longer supported by the i.MX 8M CPU. The pins, which are no longer needed for this function, are used for GBit Ethernet and USB 3.0 signals. Trizeps VIII and Trizeps VIII Mini are mostly pin compatible.
