Functional Description
4.1
Processor
The emCON-MX8MM processor module uses the i.MX processor i.MX8MM from Freescale [1]. It
includes up to 4 ARM Cortex A53 cores and runs up to 1.8 GHz.
In addition to the CPU core with MMU, FPU and Caches, this processor provides a variety of
features, such as:
•
16/32-bit DRAM Controller (LP-DDR4, DDR4, DDR3-L)
•
8-bit NAND Flash Controller
•
eMMC 5.0 Flash and SPI NOR Flash interfaces
•
Ethernet MAC 10/100/1000-Mbit with IEEE1588 support
•
2 x USB 2.0 OTG controller with high-speed mode
•
3 x Ultra Secure Digital Host Controller (uSDHC) interfaces
•
1 x PCI Express (Single Lane)
•
Two Image Processing Units, which include:
o
Video input module with camera capturing module
o
LCDIF Display Controller (Support up to 1080p60 display through MIPI DSI)
o
2D and 3D graphic hardware accelerator
o
NEON SIMD media accelerator
•
4 UARTs with 2x 32-byte FIFO
•
I2C bus interfaces
•
SPI interfaces
•
IrDA interfaces
•
Watchdog timer
•
Real time clock
•
5 x SAI Sound modules (Supporting I2S, AC97, TDM, codec/DSP and DSD interfaces)
•
S/PDIF Sound interface (Input and Output)
•
Interrupt controller
•
32-bit General Purpose Timer
•
JTAG debug interface
Further details of the processor can be found in the i.MX8MM Reference Manual [1].
