Electronics Embedded Systems applications development edge Intelligent kitAVNET MaaXBoard 8ULP starter kit features the i.MX 8ULP processor from NXP Semiconductor and will help facilitate the development of ultra-low power, secure, intelligent edge applications. Implemented as a compact System-on-Module (SOM) plus carrier board (in popular single-board computer format), this platform includes a multifunction development interface plus well supported communication and expansion interfaces, to maximize its overall utility for developers of new custom products. Kit provides a new option for developers implementing energy efficient, secure edge-AI applications with advanced audio and display capabilities. Efficient control of energy usage is facilitated by architectural features of the i.MX 8ULP device, which includes the partitioning of processing resources into application domain (Dual-Core Arm Cortex-A55 cores), real-time domain (Arm Cortex-M33 core and Fusion DSP), and Low Power Audio Video domain (HiFi 4 DSP).
