Custom NXP i.MX8 System-on-Module with LPDDR4

Droid Technologies designed and developed a custom System-on-Module (SoM) based on the NXP i.MX8 processor family, intended for high-performance embedded Linux and connected device applications.

The module integrates the NXP i.MX8 processor, LPDDR4 memory, eMMC storage, power management, and high-speed board-to-board interfaces into a compact embedded computing platform that can be integrated into custom carrier boards.

The SoM was engineered for reliable operation in advanced embedded systems requiring significant processing performance, multimedia capabilities, networking, and flexible peripheral expansion.

Droid Technologies delivered hardware architecture, schematic design, high-speed PCB layout, DDR routing, power design, signal integrity considerations, prototype bring-up, and embedded Linux integration.

Key features and engineering scope:

• NXP i.MX8 processor
• LPDDR4 memory
• eMMC storage
• Custom System-on-Module architecture
• High-speed board-to-board interfaces
• DDR memory routing and signal integrity
• Power management and sequencing
• Embedded Linux support
• Custom carrier board compatibility
• High-density multilayer PCB design
• Hardware bring-up and validation
• Embedded firmware and BSP integration

This project demonstrates Droid Technologies’ expertise in custom SoM development, NXP i.MX8 hardware design, embedded Linux platforms, high-speed PCB design, LPDDR4 routing, eMMC integration, carrier board development, and custom embedded computing systems.
