HDMI 

The i.MX8 supports the HDMI interface including the signal termination. The following figure 
describes the HDMI interface. 

 

The HDMI main features are: 

 

On board pull-up termination to support HDMI levels. 

 

HDMI HPD support 5V level, 

 

HDMI DDC doesn’t support PU, need to support on carrier

 board. 

 

Up to 4Kp60 video/graphics display over HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2 encryption and audio 
formats including Dolby Digital, DTS, TrueHD, LPCM. 

For more details check the i.MX8 datasheet. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Please Note: 

to support DPI, the pull-Up termination resistors are not 

assembled.
