Introduction - Seco SM-C12 User Manual

2.1 Introduction

The SM-C12 is a SMARC Rel. 2.0 compliant module with NXP i.MX 8M Applications Processors. Featuring multicore processing (Dual or Quad ARM Cortex®-A53
cores + general purpose Cortex®-M4 processor) and 4Kp60 HEVC decoding with HDR, it is a scalable solution designed by SECO for home automation,
transportation, digital signage and vending machines, and applicable to scenarios requiring advanced security, connectivity, multimedia and real-time response.
The module offers a very high level of integration, both for all most common used peripherals in the ARM domain and for bus interfaces typically used in the x86
domain, like PCI-Express
Presented in the SMARC ("Smart Mobility ARChitecture") form factor, offering the computing abilities of a standard board, with the possibilities of combining with a
ready-to-use carrier board like the SECO CSM-B79 or customised carrier board.
For external interfacing to standard devices, a carrier board with a 314-pin MXM connector is needed. This board will implement all the routing of the interface signals
to external standard connectors, as well as the integration of other peripherals/devices not already included in SM-C12 module.
