EDGE LITE
i.MX 8M Mini · compact connected platform
A cost-conscious board for connected products that need industrial options, modern wireless connectivity and a direct route to manufacture.
Application-ready connected platforms
Build your application, not your platform.
Start with a complete connected board and embedded Linux ready to run. Develop your application, take the same design into manufacture, and keep deployed products supported with the Active-ESL Lifecycle Platform.

Proven applications
Grounded in real connected-product engineering
Compact voice and edge AI
A small connected platform combining audio, local sensing, Wi-Fi and cellular expansion—developed around a board-specific Linux path rather than a disposable prototype.
Adaptable communications
Gateway engineering that accommodates changing LoRa, cellular and Wi-Fi technologies without forcing a complete board redesign.
Distributed motorsport sensing
A compact controller and mechanically constrained sensor boards engineered together for demanding data-acquisition environments.
