Heterogeneous Multicore Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4 for Complex High-Speed Computing and Real-Time Control

With the continuous enhancement of ARM processor performance, more and more products currently tend to use a high-performance ARM platform with a single architecture to meet different functional requirements. However, in the field of industrial applications, there are still some real-time control and communication requirements that a single system architecture cannot fully satisfy. In the face of complex industrial application scenarios, Tronlong Technology has launched an industrial core board and evaluation board designed based on NXP i.MX 8M Mini, providing a combination of quad-core Cortex-A53 + single-core Cortex-M4 heterogeneous multicore, allowing Cortex-M4 to leverage the real-time control characteristics of MCU to meet complex industrial applications.

1. High-Performance Industrial Core Board
The Tronlong Technology SOM-TLIMX8-B is a high-end industrial core board designed with a NXP i.MX 8M Mini quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 + single-core ARM Cortex-M4 heterogeneous multicore processor, with the ARM Cortex-A53 (64-bit) main processing unit clocked up to 1.6GHz and the ARM Cortex-M4 real-time processing unit clocked up to 400MHz.
This board uses the latest 14nm process technology, supporting 1080P60 H.264 video hardware encoding/decoding, 1080P60 H.265 video hardware decoding, and GPU graphics acceleration. The core board features industrial-grade B2B connectors exposing MIPI-CSI, MIPI-DSI, Audio, PCIe, FlexSPI, USB, UART, Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, enabling high-speed communication with FPGA through PCIe, FlexSPI, MIPI-CSI interfaces. The core board has undergone professional PCB layout and high/low-temperature testing validation, ensuring stability and reliability to meet various industrial application environments.
When users perform secondary development using the core board, they only need to focus on the upper-layer applications, reducing development difficulty and time costs, allowing for rapid product solution evaluation and technical research.
