1. Introduction 

1.1. General Introduction 

 
The FLEX-IMX8M-Mini is a high performance highly integrated FLEX Compute Module designed 
around the NXP i.MX8M Mini Quad core ARM Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4 applications processor. The 
FLEX-IMX8M-Mini provides an ideal building block that easily integrates with a wide range of target 
markets requiring compact, cost effective with low power consumption.  
  
The modular approach offered by the FLEX Compute Module gives your project scalability, fast time 
to market and upgradability while reducing engineering risk and maintain a competitive total cost of 
ownership. 
 

2. FLEX-IMX8M-Mini Product Overview 

 
The FLEX-IMX8M-Mini is a high performance, versatile System-on-Module in FLEX form factor 
optimized for audio, voice, video streaming applications. 

2.1. FLEX-IMX8M-Mini System-on-Module Overview 

 
The FLEX-IMX8M-Mini System-on-Module has 3 Hirose high-speed 70 pin board-to-board connectors 
and integrates the NXP i.MX8M Mini, Memory, eMMC, Power Management IC (PMIC) and Wi-Fi / 
Bluetooth features.
