At Embedded World 2024, OKdo and DEBIX in a joint venture have announced DEBIX Infinity Industrial SBC. The SBC is powered by an NXP i.MX 8M Plus Quad Lite processor, and features dual GbE ports, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and many other features.
The NXP i.MX 8M Plus is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz. It also has a dedicated 800 MHz Cortex-M7 processor core for real-time application. But the only downside of this SBC is that it does not have any NPU, ISP, or video decoding/encoding capabilities. Although there is no specific Video decoder in the SoC, the board supports HDMI, MIPI DSI, and LVDS for different display configurations.
As this is an Industrial Class SBC the paper specs suggest that it can be operated within a temperature range from -20°C to 70°C.
Taking a look at this SBCs expansion capabilities it has support for a PCIe x1 interface (accessible via a 19-pin 0.3mm pitch FPC socket) and a 40-pin GPIO header. It also includes USB 3.0 ports and various serial communication interfaces.
Previously, we have covered similar SBCs including the Toradex SoM, Avnet MaaXBoard OSM93, and Toybrick TB-RK3588SD, feel free to check those out if you are looking for SBCs.
