1. Introduction
1.1. IBASE i.MX 8 Series SMARC Solution
SMARC (‘Smart Mobility ARChitecture’) is a specification published by the
Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) for Computer-on-
Modules (COMs). SMARC Computer-on-Modules are specifically designed for the
development of compact low-power systems. Generally, SMARC modules are based
on ARM processors and other low-power SoC architectures.
Measuring 82mm x 50mm, the RM-N8/RM-N8M/RM-N8MMI SMARC module
integrates the i.MX 8/i.MX 8M/i.MX 8M Mini processor.
Measuring 170mm x 170mm, the RP-103-SMC (VDDIO=3.3V) carrier board is
compatible with 82mm x 50mm standard SMARC form factors. Engineers can choose
the required embedded IOs to verify developed software application under specified
operation systems, aside from setting the default HDMI output with preloaded O.S.
