Combined with the Ezurio 8ULP carrier board, the Nitrogen8ULP serves as a single-board computer (SBC) that significantly accelerates time to market. The ultra-low-power SoM is a versatile embedded computing solution for energy meters and storage, smart building and smart city applications, medical devices, and commercial food and beverage equipment.
This SoM is powered by NXP Semiconductors’ i.MX 8ULP processors, featuring dual Arm Cortex-A35 cores and an Arm Cortex-M33.
This architecture allows the module to run Linux on the Cortex-A35 cores and FreeRTOS on the Cortex-M33 core.
The SoM includes a Fusion digital signal processor (DSP) for low-power audio processing, a HiFi4 DSP for advanced audio and machine learning tasks, and additional coprocessors for efficient DSP and cryptographic functionalities.
The module supports a range of high-speed connectivity options and provides interfaces for data, network, display, and camera.
In addition, the SoM offers 20 different power modes to optimize energy consumption.
It features a compact form factor of 51 mm × 32 mm and supports a broad temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
With a more than 10-year product life cycle, the Nitrogen8ULP SoM is a reliable choice for long-term deployments.
