NOTE
2.1 Processor
The i.MX 8M Plus processors represent NXP Semiconductor’s latest achievement in the machine learning, vision system,
advanced multimedia, and industrial automation focused products offering high performance processing with a high degree
of functional integration, targeted towards the growing market of Smart Home, Building, City, Industry 4.0 and Consumer
applications. The i.MX 8M Plus processor features NXP’s advanced implementation of the Quad Arm
®
Cortex
®
-A53+ Arm
Cortex-M7 core speeding up to 1.8 GHz, a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) of 2.3 TOPS, and an HDR-capable Image Signal
Processor (ISP). Each processor provides a 32-bit DDR4/LPDDR4 memory interface and other interfaces for connecting
peripherals, such as MIPI LCD, MIPI Camera, HDMI, LVDS, WLAN, Bluetooth
™
, PCIe, USB3.0, uSDHC, Ethernet, FlexCAN,
and multi-sensors.

2.2 Boot mode and Boot device configurations
The i.MX 8M Plus processor offers multiple boot configurations which are selected by SW4 or from the boot configuration stored
on the internal eFUSE. In addition, the i.MX 8M Plus can download a program image from a USB connection when configured in
serial download mode. The four dedicated BOOT MODE pins are used to select the various boot modes.
