Industrial ND118T Pico-ITX Board Features NXP i.MX8M Dual or Quad-Core A53 Processor

If you are looking for a form factor that is way smaller than the mini-ITX form (75% smaller), then you should be talking about the Pico-ITX form factor, developed in 2007 by VIA as part of its strategy to enable system developers and OEMs to create smaller, lighter and quieter devices than ever before. The Pico-ITX form factor has actually opened up a new world of possibilities for embedded IoT and we have seen it being widely adopted in a large variety of small-footprint systems and off-the-shelf platforms, one of which is the small and multifunctional ND118T board recently released by ICP.

The ND118T board is characterized by an ARM-based platform combined with rich feature sets, low power consumption, and high-processing power and performance. It comes equipped with a 1.3 GHz NXP I.MX8M Cortex A53 dual/quad-core system-on-chip coupled with up to 32GB of eMMC storage, one microSD card slot, one GbE LAN port, a customized LPDDR4 onboard memory with options (1GB, 2GB, 4GB), a Raspberry Pi fully compatible 40-pin GPIO header, a MiniPCIe socket, and a Gigabit RJ45 LAN port. It is a perfect choice for embedded applications that require low power consumption in an industrial environment.

The board also offers dual display support with full 4K UltraHD resolution and HDR video quality as well as professional audio output at its highest level.
