i.MX 8M Plus Evaluation Kit Enabling Power Measurement

The i.MX 8M Plus PEVK provides a platform for comprehensive evaluation of the i.MX 8M Plus Quad/Dual and i.MX 8M Plus QuadLite applications processors. It is fully software compatible with the 8MPLUSLPD4-EVK and includes additional hardware to measure the i.MX 8M Plus SoC power consumption at run time. 8MPLUSLPD4-PEVK could therefore be used as a replacement to 8MPLUSLPD4-EVK.

The two-board solution consists of a compute module that contains i.MX 8M Plus SoC, LPDDR4, eMMC, QSPI, PMIC and power monitoring circuits and a base board that brings out the broad connectivity that is needed for product evaluation. It provides an excellent starting point to accelerate your own design.

The power consumption on the various power rails could be measured at runtime by using the following software tools: Board Control Utilities (BCU) and/or Power Measurement Tool (PMT). Please refer to User Guide and Quick Start Guide for more information.
