Raspberry Pi Lookalike Showcases I.MX8M Mini
Avnet’s “MaaxBoard Mini” SBC offers Linux and Android images to run on an i.MX8M Mini with 2GB DDR4, GbE, 4x USB 2.0, MIPI DSI- and -CSI, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and 40-pin GPIO. Available for $72.50, the MaaxBoard Mini is even more like the Raspberry Pi than the MaaxBoard due to its 4x USB 2.0 versus 2x USB 3.0 ports. Compared to the MaaxBoard, the Mini model is said to add a hardware video encoder “to power versatile video applications such as monitoring, visual inspection and video conferencing.”
