Watch the unboxing of the DART-MX8M-PLUS Development Kit, based on NXP i.MX8M Plus processor, and find out what’s in the box and how you can easily set up the kit in a few small steps.
The DART-MX8M-PLUS System on a Module / Computer on Module runs on 1.8GHz Quad Cortex™-A53 NXP i.MX 8M Plus processor with 800MHz Cortex™-M7 Real-time co-processor, combines Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities. This miniature-sized SoM, measuring only 55 x 30 mm, includes an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and an intelligent vision system based on Image Signal Processor (ISP) and camera interfaces.
The kits provide a great showcase of the DART-MX8M-PLUS performance and multimedia features and can serve as a complete development platform for evaluation 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.
