TQMa8MPxL Embedded Cortex®-A53 module

Embedded Cortex®-A53 Module based on i.MX 8M Plus with machine learning hardware support

The TQMa8MP based on the i.MX 8M Plus supports with many features and an integrated NPU (Neural Processor Unit) with up to 2.3 TOPS and an IPU (Image Processor Unit) with 2x 187 MPix in the implementation of applications where artificial intelligence, machine learning/vision is to be applied. A GPU and several graphic interfaces are available for graphically demanding applications. For real-time and security the CPU is supported by a Cortex M7 controller.
