### NXP i.MX 8M Mini Quad Core Microprocessor
361
-
The MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA i.MX 8M Mini (U2) features a quad core ARM® Cortex® A53 running at up to 1.6 GHz for high performance applications alongside an ARM® Cortex® M4 running at up to 400 MHz. The ARM® Cortex® A53 is capable of running a fully fledged Linux or Android operating system through a Board Support Packages (BSP) in a multithreaded fashion. This can be expanded via the use of specialized software containers via OTA updates. The ARM® Cortex® M4 has lower power consumption allowing for effective sleep management as well as optimal performance in real-time applications and is reserved for future use. Both processors can share all peripherals and resources available on the i.MX 8M Mini, including PCIe, on-chip memory, GPIO, GPU and Audio.

The X8 includes an embedded H7 in the form of a STM32H747AII6 IC (U20) with a dual core ARM® Cortex® M7 and ARM® Cortex® M4. This IC is used as a I/O expander for the i.MX 8M Mini (U2). Peripherals are controlled via the M7 core. Additionally, the M4 core is available for for real time control of motors and other time-critical machinery at a barebones level. The M7 core acts as a mediator between the peripherals and the i.MX 8M Mini and has runs a proprietary firmware inaccessible to the User. The STM32H7 is not exposed to networking and should be programmed via the i.MX 8M Mini (U2).

## Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Connectivity
367
365
The Muratta® LBEE5KL1DX-883 wireless module (U9) simultaneously provides Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity in an ultrasmall package based on the Cypress CYW4343W. The IEEE802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi interface can be operated as an access point (AP), station (STA) or as a dual mode simultaneous AP/STA and supports a maximum transfer rate of 65 Mbps. Bluetooth interface supports Bluetooth Classic and BLE. An integrated antenna circuitry switch allows a single external antenna (J4 or ANT1) to be shared between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Module U9 interfaces with i.MX 8M Mini (U2) via a 4bit SDIO and UART interface. Based on the software stack of the wireless module in the embedded linux OS, Bluetooth 5.1 is supported together with Wi-Fi conforming to the IEEE802.11b/g/n standard.
The Arduino® Portenta X8 includes two onboard memory modules. A NT6AN512T32AV 2GB LP-DDR4 DRAM (U19) and 16GB Forsee eMMC Flash module (FEMDRW016G) (U5) are accessible to the i.MX 8M Mini (U2).

- Provide board power supply in both DFP and DRP mode
382
380
- Source power to external peripherals when board is powered through VIN

The Displayport interface is usable in conjunction with USB and can be either used with a simple cable adapter when board is powered via VIN or with dongles able to provide power to the board while simultaneously outputting Displayport and USB. Such dongles usually provide an ethernet over USB port, a 2 port USB hub and a USB-C port that can be used to provide power to the system.
