We provide a tested software environment for the armStoneMX8ULP. Part of this environment is the Linux Yocto release and the BSP for the Cortex-M33. Announcements about new versions of this package are made in the support forum.

➜ armStoneMX8ULP Forum

Yocto Release Y2024.09

For the CPU NXP i.MX8 ULP F&S offers a Yocto based environment. We offer the Linux BSP fsimx8ulp-Y2024.09-pre, which is based on Yocto.

Our standard configuration, which is intended to give a first impression of the functionality of the board, includes the following features: Busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and many more.

The BSP is based on the following source code packages:

  • U-Boot: 2024.04
  • Linux-Kernel:  6.6.48
  • Yocto: 5.0.3 Scarthgap

Also included is our cross toolchain, some sample applications, and all binaries in the default configuration. 

F&S offer a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the distribution Fedora 36 for free download. All packages necessary to compile our software are already installed. Also, all services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the correct directories. With this virtual machine it doesn't matter if you use Windows or Linux as host. Simply download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and development can begin immediately.

The Single Board Computer... ...for complex requirements

The advantage of single board computers (SBC) is that they can be used without a baseboard and are therefore particularly suitable for fast “time-to-market”.

Asymmetric multiprocessing

The i.MX 8MP multimedia CPU from NXP (4x ARM® Cortex®-A53 (64 bit) with 1.8GHz & Cortex®-M7 CPU) is ideal for applications with demanding graphics in building automation as well as in industrial and medical technology.

More information about the NXP i.MX 8M Plus application processor

This powerful module in the PicoITX form factor is particularly suitable for complex multimedia tasks and is ideal for applications with demanding graphics in building automation, for all types of HMI in industry and medical technology, as well as POS and POI terminals.

Numerous interfaces

The armStone™MX8MP is equipped with up to 8GByte LPDDR4 RAM and up to 32GB eMMC.

 

Other interfaces of the armStone™MX8MP are WLAN (802.11 ac/a/b/g/n (2.4/ 5GHz)), BT (5.0 LE), 2x Gigabit LAN, SD card, 4x USB host, USB device, 2x CAN, 3x serial, 4x I²C, 2x SPI, audio, MIPI-CSI camera and PCIe with SIM card slot.

LVDS (24bit), DVI and MIPI-DSI are available for display control.

As with all armStone™ single board computers, many of the signals are on standard connectors or on the 66-pin feature bus. The armStone™MX8MP is powered via 5V (an attachable 12/24V power supply unit is available as an accessory), the power consumption is only a few watts. With a temperature range of up to -20°C - +70°C and -25°C - +85°C in the I-Temp. version, the armStone™MX8MP can also be used outdoors.

Linux Yocto

A customized Linux Yocto is available as the operating system. Bootloader, device tree, customized interface drivers and all tools required for development are available.

Various security functions are available and are made available through the Linux adaptation by F&S Elektronik Systeme.

With the F&S project guarantee, F&S Elektronik Systeme accompanies customers from the project start to the successful completion of the project.
This includes a starter kit and workshop, documentation for hardware and software development and free support from the experienced engineers at F&S Elektronik Systeme GmbH.
