Watch the unboxing of the DART-MX8M Evaluation Kit powered by NXP i.MX 8M SoC and learn how to set up the kit step by step.
The DART-MX8M is a miniature System on Module / Computer on Module, only 30mm x 55mm. The SoM runs on NXP i.MX 8M Quad 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A53 plus 266MHz Cortex-M4 and offers advanced multimedia capabilities: 4K video HEVC/H265/H264/VP9 decode with HDR, high-quality audio, 4K display support, and 2D/3D graphics acceleration.
The DART-MX8M is a member of the DART Pin2Pin product family, which provides a wide scalability range; from i.MX8M Mini platform, through the i.MX8M, up to the iMX8M-Plus.
The kits provide an excellent showcase for DART-MX8M performance and multimedia capabilities and can serve as a comprehensive evaluation platform for assessment and application development purposes.

As AI-driven demand accelerated through 2025, memory chip shortages developed as semiconductor manufacturers shifted capacity to large-volume buyers, leaving many sectors, including medical, industrial, edge/IoT, and robotics poorly served. Climbing prices and lengthening lead times, exacerbated by knock-on effects across other SoM components, have created two clear pressure points. SoM vendors relying on outsourced manufacturing have limited flexibility when availability drops, leaving customers facing the same delays. Separately, product developers who chose chip-down architectures over SoM-based designs must procure components on their own. Those buying in smaller quantities are routinely pushed down supplier priority lists, and in many cases cannot get supply at all.
