Introduction
SBC-C57 is a Single Board Computer in 3.5
”
form factor (which is 146 x 102mm) based on embedded NXP i.MX 8X Applications Processors, featuring ARM
®
Cortex
®
-A35 processors, Dual- or Quad- Core + general purpose Cortex
®
-M4F processor, with frequencies up to 1.2GHz, which are ideal for applications requiring
multimedia capabilities.
Graphics features of the board are managed directly by NXP i.MX8X processor, which integrates a GC7000Lite GPU supporting the most common standards (i.e.
OpenGL 3.0; OpenGL ES 3.1; OpenCL 1.2; OpenVG 1.1; and others) and a distinct VPU for HW video decoding of the most common standards (i.e., H.265,
H.264, VP8, and others) also supporting H.264 encoding.
The processor has also an integrated Tensilica® HiFi 4 DSP audio processor for efficient execution of audio codecs and voice recognition and SBC-C57 mounts
on-board a Texas Instrument TLV320 I2S Stereo Audio Codec, for high quality audio implementation.
The board is completed with up to 4GB LPDDR4-3200 32-bit bus memory directly soldered on board and one eMMC 5.1 Flash Drive with up to 64GB of capacity.
The board can support 24 bit Single/Dual Channel LVDS interface, and as a factory configuration option, one eDP interface is also available. Touch Screen drivers
can be interfaced using the dedicated USB or I2C header connectors.
The processor offers an RGMII interface which, through two dedicated TI DP83867 Ethernet Transceivers, allows the implementation of two Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces. While the first Gigabit Ethernet interface come standard with the SBC-C57 board, the second one is optional.
The networking capabilities of this module are extended by an optional WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac + BT 5.0 NGFF module soldered on-board.
The SBC-C57 board offers two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 standard Type-A connectors, an internal header with an additional USB 2.0 Host port dedicated to Touch
Screen driver connection, and an USB 2.0 OTG port on micro-AB connector for use in combination with Recovery mode.
A MIPI-CSI2, 4 lanes, is present for connection of a camera module, which is directly interfaced to the NXP i.MX8X processor Imaging Submodule.
An on board PCI-express port gen3 is present on a mini PCI-e connector to host a radio module or for expansion of peripherals.
Three internal connectors complete the functionalities of this board. On these connectors, managed as factory options, it is possible to find CAN ports, processors
debug UARTs and GPIOS.
The board is available both in commercial and in industrial temperature range.
