Watch the unboxing of the VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO Evaluation Kit based on NXP i.MX 8M Nano CPU and learn about the System on Module’s performance and capabilities.
The VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO System on Module / Computer on Module runs on NXP’s i.MX 8M Nano processor with up to 1.5GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53™ plus 650MHz Cortex-M7™ real-time processor and ideal for products that require power-efficiency and high-performance graphics.
The VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO is part of the VAR-SOM Pin2Pin product family, supporting a maximum scalability range from i.MX6UL/6ULL up to the i.MX 8QuadMax.
The SoM provides extensive connectivity options, such as certified single-band 802.11 b/g/n or dual-band 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n, BT5.2/BLE, GbE and USB2.0.
The kit provides an excellent demonstration for VAR-SOM-MX8M-NANO performance 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.
