Unleashing the Potential: The New Generation NX8MM-35

NX8MM-35 series has been launched since April 2023, and during this year, ICOP gathers a lot of suggestions from our customers. Therefore, we decided to modify and renew the NX8MM-35 for supporting LVDS display for industrial applications.

The NX8MM-35 is a powerful industrial single board computer from ICOP Technology, featuring the following specifications:

• Processor: i.MX 8M Mini Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 up to 1.6/1.8GHz
• Memory: Up to 4GB LPDDR4
• Storage: Up to 64GB eMMC
• Display: LVDS/HDMI interface
• Camera: MIPI-CSI interface
• Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet, USB x4, COMx4, i2c, SPI, GPIO, Touch, MiniPCIe with SIM card holder and HD Audio.
• Temperature range: -20°C to +70°C or -40°C to +80°C (Optional)

Main differences between the old and new NX8MM-35.

• Display:
  • Old -> MIPI-DSI/HDMI interface
  • New -> 24-bit LVDS/HDMI interface.
• Connectivity:
  • Old: SPIx2
  • New: SPIx1 (UART3 switchable)/Touch controller/SIM card holder.

The board supports both LVDS and HDMI interfaces, which can be easily switched via a jumper. This flexibility allows the NX8MM-35 to be used in a wide range of display applications, from high-definition HDMI displays to industrial LCD panels using LVDS. This switchable display function makes it an excellent choice for developers who need adaptability in their projects.
