The initial operations with the iMX8M Industrial Development Kit interfaces are presented on this page. For more specific information such as display options, camera capabilities or industrial modular extensions, refer to the dedicated Peripherals and Accessories section.

Mandatory components

Hardware

Peripherals and Accessories

  • 1x FullHD HDMI monitor with Audio output (default)
  • 1x FullHD DisplayPort monitor with Audio output (optional)
  • iMX8M Wifi and Bluetooth antennas set
  • 1x MicroSDHC card Class 10 or higher
  • 1x USB Flash drive 3.0
  • Headphones
  • Analog external microphone

Cables

  • USB Micro-B cable for serial console
  • USB-C cable for module flashing
  • Ethernet cable
  • HDMI cable (default)
  • DisplayPort cable (optional)

Audio

Note: This audio section was tested with the iMX8M Industrial Module in Max and Pro configurations. For Basic configuration, audio capabilities can be achieved via SAI header located on the baseboard. For more information see the iMX8M Industrial Module comparison.

Input: Search kernel log for wm8904 chip
Output: Audio chip is detected and bound as an output and input device

WiFi

Note: This WiFi section was tested with the iMX8M Industrial Module in Max and Pro configurations. For Basic configuration, wireless connectivity can be achieved via PCIe Mini and/or M.2 key B slots located on the baseboard. For more information see the iMX8M Industrial Module comparison.

Note: Only the Basic configuration of iMX8M Industrial Module provides access to PCI Express signals via PCIe Mini and M.2 key B sockets soldered on the baseboard, instead of using the interface for WiFi and Bluetooth module on the COM.

To connect to the desired WiFi network, start wpa_supplicant: 

root@imx8mq-voipac:~# wpa_supplicant -i wlp1s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
root@imx8mq-voipac:~# Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

To obtain an IP address and other network settings, run dhcp client: 

udhcpc -i wlp1s0


At this point the bandwidth measurement can be tested, showing that WiFi connection was established and is performed very reliably.

M.2 key B socket + Micro SIM slot

Note: Only the Basic configuration of iMX8M Industrial Module provides access to PCI Express signals via PCIe Mini and M.2 key B sockets soldered on the baseboard, instead of using the interface for WiFi and Bluetooth module on the COM.

Note: Use SATA M.2 card as testing example?

USB-C

This connector is primarily used for flashing new binaries into the iMX8M Industrial Module. More information can be found on the dedicated module flashing page.

Alternatively, USB-C connector can be utilised as general USB storage:

UART serial console

Serial console is utilized via USB Micro-B connector by default. Alternatively, the communication can be established using UART headers and TTL-232R-3V3 - FTDI cable.

NOTE:Describe jumpers position
