のウェビナー
最高の性能と効率のために 8x Arm コア
Apalis iMX8 は最新の NXP® i.MX 8QM SoC を搭載した小型のシステムモジュールです。 2x Cortex-A72 及び 4x Cortex-A53 アプリケーション プロセッサー コアに加えて、2x Cortex-M4 マイクロコントローラー コアも内蔵します。 集積された高性能デュアルコアGC7000 3D GPU が、4x 1080p もしくは１本の 4K 表示までのOpenGL™ 3.0、OpenGL™ ES 3.1、及び Vulkan をサポートします。
Cortex M4 マイクロコントローラー コアは、リアルタイム アプリケーションをサポートするために、あるいはメインの Cortex-A72/A53 コアがオフの間の接続を維持するために、ご使用可能です。
先進のセーフティ / セキュリティ機能
SafeAssure® フェイルオーバー対応ディスプレイ コントローラーが、重要な表示を常にオンに保ち正しい内容を確実に維持します。 ハードウェア仮想化やセキュアブート、最新の暗号技術のサポートにより、安全でセキュアなシステムを構築できます。 i.MX 8QM SoC は先進の 28nm FDSOI シリコンプロセスで作られており、MTBF が増大し、ソフトエラーが低減しています。
トラデックスの Apalis フォームファクターは、産業用動作温度範囲 -40° から +85°C への対応を含めた厳しい環境に向けて特別に設計されています。 最も要求のきつい産業用ならびに民生用アプリケーションでお使いいただけます。 Apalis iMX8 は最低 2030 年までの供給が約束されています。
先進のビジョン及びメディア処理アプリケーションのために作られた
Apalis iMX8 モジュールは最先端のコンピュータービジョン システムを構築するのに最適です。 高性能デュアルコア GC7000 GPU が、複数の独立したディスプレイを用いた機能豊富で複雑な GUI をサポートします。 トラデックスは The Qt Company, Crank Software, 他と協力関係にあり、お客様の製品をより早く市場投入できるよう最適化された UI フレームワークを提供します。
トラデックス Apalis のエコシステムと利点
Apalis iMX8 は、他の Apalis ファミリー モジュールとピン互換です。 これにより既存の Apalis 用製品を用いて容易に新しい Apalis iMX8 へ移行可能です。 全てのトラデックス製 Apalis キャリアボードが Apalis iMX8 と共に使用できます。 大量のドキュメント、技術サポート、開発パートナー、そしてサードパーティー製キャリアボードが Apalis の堅固なエコシステムを構築しています。 静電式タッチスクリーンやカメラモジュールといった既製のアクセサリーやペリフェラルの存在により、製品の評価や高速開発が単純なものになります。
MXM SnapLock™ テクノロジーは、モジュールをキャリアボードに固定するユニークなコネクター機構です。Direct Breakout™ は、モジュールからキャリアボード上の I/O ポート及びコネクターまでのキャリアボード配線にまつわる複雑さを低減します。 パターンを１箇所に集中させたり、危険な高速信号を交じらせたりすることなく配線できるからです。 Apalis モジュールには、最も要求のきつい産業用アプリケーションでもお使いいただける丈夫なヒートシンクも用意されています。

To get your product to market fast, with low risk and low engineering costs, you need more than just a System on Module with a stable BSP, we understand this. Toradex is collaborating with a wide range of partners to make your life easier. Here are a few highlights, to find more search our Developer Page and take a look at our Partner Network.
Easy-to-use Rich Graphical User Interfaces
The Apalis iMX8 provides high-performance graphics - Toradex partners closely with leading providers of GUIs to simplify the development process and to make sure the hardware resources are utilized most effectively.
Qt is fully supported by Toradex Easy Installer, for the simplest way to get started with Qt on any embedded device.
Apalis iMX8 is ideal for critical applications where safety and reliability are key, these are also the key focus areas for DiSTI’s GL Studio.
AI at the Edge
The Apalis iMX8 has the highest performance of the i.MX 8 SoCs, its multiple ArmV8 64-bit cores and dual GPU make it an ideal platform for machine learning and computer vision applications.
Low latency and high-reliability requirements are the advantages fueling the growth of edge computing.
Toradex collaborates with partners to allow its customers to take advantage of the latest technologies in AI, computer vision, and edge computing in a simple way.
DeepView™ 2 simplifies the optimization of the machine learning algorithm for the edge taking advantage of the CPUs and GPUs of the Apalis iMX8.
Xnor provides highly optimized deep learning inference. AI2GO is a new self-service platform to get you started today.
AWS provides a wider range of services to help with AI at the Edge, such as AWS IoT Greengrass and SageMaker Neo. Currently AWS, NXP, and Toradex collaborate closely, stay tuned.
For vision applications, the new Alvium industrial grade MIPI CSI-2 Camera is ideal. Collaboration makes sure the camera works out-of-the-box.
Antmicro offers an off-the-shelf dual camera carrier board and a wide range of hardware and software engineering services for the Apalis iMX8 to extend the offerings of Toradex.
CODESYS / PLC IEC 61131-3
Industrial Automation as an application was one of our main targets when designing the Apalis iMX8. To help our customers in this area, we, for example, focused on optimizing our BSP and Torizon for real-time and are collaborating closely with CODESYS for a great out-of-the-box experience.
Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP) for
Real-time, Safety, and Low Power
The Apalis iMX8 comes with 2x Cortex-M4 cores clocked at a fast 266MHz. These cores are ideal to offload hard real-time applications from Linux, the M4 allows for latencies in the microseconds.
Other common use cases are active low power modes where the main cores are switched off for Functional Safety, and the M4 cores run an RTOS such as SafeRTOS from the ECC-protected tightly coupled memory inside the i.MX 8.
Toradex invests in making the M4 core easily accessible for you, with developments such as Visual Studio Code integration.
"The next generation of the Rimac Infotainment system, introduced with our all-electric Rimac C_Two hypercar, will feature a multi-screen consolidated cockpit based on the Toradex Apalis i.MX 8QuadMax SoM. The powerful A72 and A53 cores will allow us to provide rich graphics and a comprehensive multimedia experience, while the M4 cores, along with the capability of software domain separation will allow us to develop ASIL-B compliant solutions for our vehicles as well as for other OEMs.
Our long term cooperation with Toradex has allowed us to develop a comprehensive and flexible code base that can easily be upgraded from the previous Apalis i.MX 6 based infotainment to the new i.MX 8 based one."
