1 Introduction

The i.MX 8 Family consists of two processors:

i.MX 8QuadMax and 8QuadPlus. This data sheet covers

the i.MX 8QuadMax processor, which is composed of

eight cores (two Arm® Cortex®-A72, four Arm

Cortex®-A53, and two Arm Cortex®-M4F), dual 32-bit

GPU subsystems, 4K H.265 capable VPU, and dual

failover-ready display controllers. This processor

supports a single 4K display (with multiple display

output options, including MIPI-DSI, HDMI, eDP/DP,

and LVDS), or multiple smaller displays. Memory

interfaces supporting LPDDR4, Quad SPI/Octal SPI

(FlexSPI), eMMC 5.1, RAW NAND, SD 3.0, and a wide

range of peripheral I/Os such as PCIe, provide wide

flexibility. Advanced multicore audio processing is

supported by the Arm cores and a high performance

Tensilica® HiFi 4 DSP for pre- and post-audio

processing as well as voice recognition.
