Digi ConnectCore 8X - SoM Development Kit

Description

Digi ConnectCore 8X: Cost-efficient system-on-module platform

Digi ConnectCore 8X offers a safe and cost-effective system-on-module platform with dimensions as small as 40 mm x 45 mm. The Digi SMTplus® surface mount form factor allows you to simplify design integration with proven and easy-to-use edge-molded SMT technology or a versatile LGA option for ultimate design flexibility with access to virtually any interface.

Based on the NXP i.MX 8X application processor

The module is the intelligent communications engine for today’s secure networked devices. Digi ConnectCore can drive the development of streaming video/audio devices, voice control and general human-machine interface solutions. With a variety of high-performance connectivity options, including 1x USB 3.0 port, dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe 3.0, and pre-certified dual-band 2×2 MU-MIMO WLAN, the system-on-module is ideal for developing a wide range of embedded and IoT applications.
