    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Object Detection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Face Recognition&lt;/li&gt;

		&lt;div class="xs-text-4"&gt;Welcome to &lt;span style="font-size:26px;color:#555;line-height:28px;"&gt;Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class="xs-my3"&gt;The Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit consists of a SMARC System-on-Module(SOM) and an Industrial Carrier board bundled together with a dual camera adapter to provide a complete embedded computing system for prototyping new industrial systems and evaluating the capabilities of the NXP i.MX 8M device family. &lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Classification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Object Detection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Face Recognition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sequence Analysis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

		&lt;div class="xs-text-4"&gt;Welcome to &lt;span style="font-size:26px;color:#555;line-height:28px;"&gt;Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class="xs-my3"&gt;The Avnet i.MX 8M Plus Edge AI Kit consists of a SMARC System-on-Module(SOM) and an Industrial Carrier board bundled together with a dual camera adapter to provide a complete embedded computing system for prototyping new industrial systems and evaluating the capabilities of the NXP i.MX 8M device family. &lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div class="xs-w20"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" style="max-height:160px;" src="/e14/assets/main/2022b/BGimx8EdgePlus.png"  /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        &lt;div class="xs-flex xs-flex-wrap xs-mt3 xs-pb3"&gt;
                &lt;div class="xs-my2 xs-mr4"&gt;
                        &lt;button class="e14-product-link fill-grey-lighter xs-inline-block pill xs-mt1 xs-border-green xs-pt05 xs-pb05 xs-pl2 xs-pr05 bold xs-text-6" id="e14-product-link-31ce2" data-at-label="PRODUCT_POPUP_OPEN"href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="event.preventDefault();e14.func.displayProduct(e14.meta.user.country, this, 'embedded-link', e14.func.getProductLinkJSON('31ce2'));" data-farnell="" data-newark="" data-comoverride="" data-cmpoverride="" data-cpc="" data-avnetemea="AES-IMX8MPLUS-AI-DEV-KIT-G" data-avnetema="AES-IMX8MPLUS-AI-DEV-KIT-G" data-avnetasia="" data-at-areainteracted="design-center" data-at-type="click" data-at-link-type="button"&gt;8M Plus Edge&lt;div class="pill xs-inline-block xs-border-lighter fill-green text-white xs-p1 xs-ml3 e14_shopping-cart-far-sml"&gt;Buy Now&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/button&gt;

            &lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Classification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Object Detection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Face Recognition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sequence Analysis&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Classification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Object Detection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Face Recognition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sequence Analysis&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When combining this development kit with the NXP eIQ&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm"&gt;&amp;#x2122;&lt;/span&gt; Machine Learning Software Development Environment, many options for Inference Engines, Vision Libraries, and ML workflow can be used to quickly deploy applications needing the following types of model capabilities:&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease. The integrated Neural Network Accelerator provides up to 2.25TOPS for boosting AI applications at the edge (without High Performance CPU/GPU) enabling emerging applications like Access Control based on Face Recognition to become more easily deployed without complete reliance upon cloud computing resources.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;h3 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Technical Specification&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The high-performance NPU of the i.MX 8M Plus processor allows machine learning and Artificial Intelligence implementations with heavy compute demands to be pushed from the cloud down to the edge where low latency response can be critical for achieving end application goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;System designers can simply design their own carrier card, plug-in the Avnet SMARC SOM, and start their application development with proven i.MX 8M Plus hardware. Available with NXP 14nm FinFET technology to allow high computing, graphics, and image processing performance at very low power consumption and combined with a high degree of functional integration device, the Avnet SMARC SOM enables designers to build industrial, medical, retail, and other embedded vision applications with confidence and ease.
