Beacon EmbeddedWorks’ i.MX 8M Plus SOM can help you get your product to market faster and reduce your design risk. Built around the NXP i.MX 8M Plus, with up to four ARM Cortex-A53 cores running up to 1.8 GHz, the SOM is both powerful and versatile. Multiple configurations are available to meet your exact needs with uncompromising quality and unwavering high-performance. Beacon EmbeddedWorks’ i.MX 8M Plus SOM stands out as the premier selection for security, power-efficiency, and high-definition video and graphics processing.

The design, development, manufacturing, and ongoing support of embedded technology is a complex and time-consuming process without the right expertise. At Beacon EmbeddedWorks, we elevate your product development with custom SOM solutions and high-performance application development kits. Beacon EmbeddedWorks is a leader in designing and developing SOMs with wireless technologies including Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth, and cellular. We have the experience and knowledge to help you select the right SOM, integrate the SOM into your product design, or develop a customized SOM to meet the needs of your application.

Beacon EmbeddedWorks can also help at any stage in the product lifecycle, so our expertise and assistance doesn’t end when you’ve completed your hardware design. Beacon EmbeddedWorks provides continuation support including obsolescence management and application engineering for any product with one of our SOMs embedded. We also continually update our board support package (BSP) options with the latest versions of Linux, Android, and real-time operating systems.
