Starterkit STKa8XxS

Arm® Cortex®-A35 based on i.MX8X

The Embedded Starterkit STKa8XxS is designed for embedded computing engineers and is based on the TQMa8XxS platform, which utilizes the Arm Cortex-A35 processor from NXP's i.MX8X series. This kit excels in graphics performance with 4K support, making it ideal for applications with high display requirements. It also includes a DSP for advanced audio processing, providing high-quality sound capabilities. High-speed communication is facilitated through 2x Gigabit Ethernet, 1x PCIe, and 1x USB 3.0 interfaces, making data transfer efficient. Despite its powerful features, the kit maintains low power consumption, typically around 4 watts. It further enhances reliability with an integrated Cortex-M4 CPU for real-time and security applications.
