Note:

1. Dual channel LVDS interface: 2 x 18 bpp OR 2 x 24 bpp (up to 1,920 ×

1,200 @60 fps at 24 bpp). Default configuration is single channel 24‐bit.
To change this configuration, users need to send i2c command to

SN65DSI84

MIPI_DSI

LVDS

bridge. Please refer to Embedian u‐boot

official BSP release.

2. DP interface is not validated! Awaits NXP formal release.

2.1.2. Form Factor

The

SMARC‐iMX8M

module complies with the

SMARC

General Specification

module size requirements in an 82mm x 50mm form factor.
