### NXP i.MX8MP EVK
155+
156+
The [i.MX8MP EVK][24] is NXP's evaluation kit for the i.MX 8M Plus SoC,
157+
a quad-core Cortex-A53 at up to 1.8 GHz. Beyond its CPU cores, the SoC
158+
integrates a 2.3 TOPS Neural Processing Unit, making it a platform of
159+
interest for edge inference workloads.
160+
161+
The board ships with 6 GB LPDDR4 RAM, dual Gigabit Ethernet (one via the
162+
SoC's FEC controller and one via the STMMAC/DWMAC IP block), two CAN FD
163+
ports (FlexCAN), eMMC and SD card storage, USB 3.0 (USB-C with Power
164+
Delivery), and HDMI output.
165+
166+
Infix supports all hardware features relevant to networking:
167+
168+
- routing between the two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
169+
- two CAN FD interfaces (FlexCAN)
170+
- eMMC and SD card storage
171+
- USB 3.0 (USB-C with Power Delivery)
172+
- HDMI output
