Security features:
PHYTEC modules support comprehensive security features in hardware and software. All functions supported by the i.MX 8 processor as well as further information about their security concept can be found here.
The phyCORE-i.MX 7 System on Module supports the next-generation NXP i.MX 7 single and dual-core application processors.
The phyCORE-i.MX 7 System on Module supports the next-generation NXP i.MX 7 single and dual-core application processors. Within a compact form factor, the SOM supports on-board DDR3, NAND, NOR, eMMC, Gigabit Ethernet PHY, RTC, power management, and provides a high number of interfaces for connecting up peripherals, such as PCIe, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, displays, camera, and sensors.
This SOM is a full-featured, industrial-grade, and flexible drop-in solution ideal for a wide range of embedded applications such as IoT gateways; industrial human machine interface (HMI); factory automation; machine vision; building automation; networking; medical imaging as well as portable test and measurement.
Special Features:
In addition to the processing power improvements, Cortex-A7 supports ARMv7A, Thumb-2 instructions, floating point vector operations (VFP), TrustZone and optional neon vector operations. Even though Cortex-A15 is currently Arm's 32-bit high end core, it cannot compare to the Cortex-A7.
