The Single Board Computer (SBC) is based on the embedded module TQMa8MPxL, where the processor i.MX 8M Plus an Arm® Cortex®-A53 from NXP is used.
All relevant interfaces integrated in the CPU have been implemented on the MBa8MPxL for an industrial useage.
Due to the numerous interfaces and the small size of this SBC the use in different applications is possible without the need of a special design.
