IMX8M Pico-ITX board features Raspberry Pi expansion
Aug 21, 2020 — by Jeff Child 2,464 viewsThe ND108T from ICP Germany is a Pico-ITX board that runs Yocto or Android OS on NXP’s i.MX8M processor. The board sports a Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin header with GPIO, up to 4GB RAM and dual Gbit Ethernet.
ICP (Industrial Computer Products) Germany has released an i.MX8M-based Pico-ITX SBC that it’s positioning as an industrial replacement for a Raspberry Pi SBC. The 100 x 72mm board serves up a 1.5GHz NXP i.MX8M in either quad- or dual-core versions. Memory options include 1GB, 2GB or 4GB LPDDR4 SDRAM with 1600MHz clock rate. There’s a standard Mini-PCIe with PCIe and USB signal. A Raspberry Pi-compatible 40 pin header with GPIO signal is available as an expansion slot along with an API library.

So far in 2020 we’ve only seen a couple of boards that combine Pico-ITX form factor with the i.MX8M: the armStone MX8M from F&S Elektronik Systeme and iWave’s iW-RainboW-G34D dev kit based on the i.MX8M Mini. Neither of those boards have the 40-pin Raspberry Pi expansion like the ND108T.
In the basic version, ND108T comes with HDMI 2.0 with 4K resolution, GbE, 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB 2.0, 1x RS-232/422/485, and audio line-out and mic-in. A USB 2.0 OTG and a UART are available for programming and debugging. For mass storage you get an eMMC with 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB storage and a microSD slot.

The basic version can be upgraded if required, says ICP. Dual GbE or other display connectors like LVDS or Display Port are optional. The ND108T operates from a 12V power supply in a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and complies with the CE/FCC Class B standard. Operating system support includes Board Support Packages (BSPs) for Yocto Sumo and Android 9 Pie, both with Linux Kernel 4.14.98.
