BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This User's Manual describes the TQMa8MxML and the TQMa8MxNL each as of revision 0200 and refers to some software settings.
This User's Manual does also not replace the NXP i.MX 8M Mini or i.MX 8M Nano documentation, see Table 47.
Note: Designations "TQMa8MxML" and "TQMa8MxNL", available features and interfaces
In order to facilitate the readability of this User's Manual, the designations "TQMa8MxML" and
"i.MX 8M Mini" are used throughout. If technical aspects require a differentiation between
"TQMa8MxML" and "TQMa8MxNL", or "i.MX 8M Mini" and "i.MX 8M Nano", the appropriate designation
is used.
This User's Manual describes all features and interfaces provided by the TQMa8MxML or TQMa8MxNL
family. A certain TQMa8MxML or TQMa8MxNL derivative does not necessarily provide all features and
interfaces described in this User's Manual.
The TQMa8MxML is a universal Minimodule based on the NXP ARM CPU i.MX 8M CPU family with ARM Cortex
®
-A53.
With a TQMa8MxML soldered on the adapter “TQMa8MxML-MB-ADAP”, the TQMa8MxML can be operated on the MBa8Mx.
2.1
Key functions and characteristics
The TQMa8MxML extends the TQ-Systems GmbH product range and offers an outstanding computing performance.
All essential i.MX 8M Mini pins are routed to the TQMa8MxML LGA pads. There are therefore no restrictions for customers using
the TQMa8MxML with respect to an integrated customised design. All essential components like CPU, LPDDR4, eMMC, and PMIC
are already integrated on the TQMa8MxML.
The main features of the TQMa8MxML are:
•
64 bit NXP i.MX 8M Mini CPU, up to 4 × ARM Cortex
®
-A53 and 1 × Cortex
®
