For i.MX8M Plus, F&S has adapted Yocto. In addition, F&S provide a BSP for FreeRTOS. This FreeRTOS BSP makes it easier to use features of Cortex-M7.
Yocto has established itself as the standard for Linux build environments in recent years. Our standard configuration, which is intended to give a first impression of the module's functionality, includes the following features: Busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, X11R7, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and much more.
F&S also offers a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the Fedora distribution for free download. All packages necessary to translate our software are already installed. All services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are also installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the right directories. With this virtual machine it doesn't matter whether you use Windows or Linux as the host. Simply download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and development can begin immediately.
FreeRTOS
In addition to the 4 Cortex-A53 cores, the NXP i.MX8M Plus CPU also has a Cortex-M7 core. The Cortex-M7 core is particularly suitable for real-time tasks or for power saving.
F&S offers a completely tested BSP for the use of the Cortex-M7 for FreeRTOS or Bare Metal application.
Development start in under an hour
F&S Development Machine - Fedora 36
For a quick start into development with Linux we provide a VirtualBox-based virtual hard disk VHD for download. The VHD uses Fedora 36as Linux distribution.
With this machine you can start your development in less than an hour.
The machine is free of charge for our customers.
VirtualBox is a powerful product for corporate customers and at the same time the only professional solution which is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2.
The F&S Development Machine contains pre-installed board support packages for fsimx8mm, fsimx8mn and fsimx8mp (64 bit CPU).
The appropriate F&S toolchain is installed in the VHD, the source code is extracted and ready to use.
Necessary system packages and tools are also already installed.
Furthermore, it contains a configured environment for QT development with cross-compile/debug kit, deployment strategy and demo application.
Note: To download the Development Machine, you must be registered on our website.

SMARC | ...for complex requirements | |
---|---|---|
The SMARC® (“Smart Mobility ARChitecture”) is a versatile computer with a small form factor and a module definition aimed at applications requiring low power consumption, low cost and high performance. Two module sizes are defined: 82mm x 50mm and 82mm x 80mm. The module boards have 314 edge fingers that mate with a right-angle 314-pin connector with 0.5mm pitch (the connector is sometimes referred to as a 321-pin connector, but 7 pins are lost in the key). The modules are used with application-specific carrier boards that implement other functions such as audio CODECs, touch controllers, wireless devices, etc. The modular approach enables scalability, fast time-to-market and upgradeability at low cost, low power consumption and small size. Asymmetric multiprocessingThe SMARC™MX8M is based on an NXP i.MX 8MP application processor with ARM Cortex-A53 and ARM Cortex-M7. The advantage of this asymmetric processor architecture is the strict separation of real-time relevant tasks - such as a control algorithm - from the rest of the system. |
F&S Elektronik Systeme has been developing and producing embedded boards in Stuttgart for more than 25 years and offers a wide range of modules with NXP CPUs (i.MX 6, i.MX 8 and i.MX9) in various form factors (plug-in modules with connectors or with finger contacts as well as SBC solutions in PicoITX). This powerful module is particularly suitable for complex multimedia tasks and in industrial and medical technology. Numerous interfacesThe SMARC™MX8MP is equipped with up to 8GByte LPDDR4 and up to 64GB eMMC. Other interfaces of the SMARC™MX8MP are WLAN (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac), BT 5, 2x Gigabit Ethernet, SD card, 4x USB host, USB device OTG, 2x CAN, 4x serial, 5x I²C, 2x SPI, audio (I2S), MIPI-CSI camera and PCIe. |
