Phytec phyBOARD-Pollux is an SBC from Phytec. SoC: NXP i.MX 8M Plus. Form factor: evaluation SBC (146 x 102 mm).

AI performance is 2.3 TOPS (INT8). Available configurations: 4GB memory and 64GB storage. Supported OS: Linux, Yocto, Debian, and Android.

Intended applications include edge AI, vision, industrial HMI, and gateways. 17 other products use the same NXP i.MX 8M Plus, so you can compare by form factor and supplier.

What to check when selecting:

For projects involving functional safety, check the SoC’s capabilities and whether certification is required separately
TSN support. If deterministic communication is a requirement, check the number of supported ports and the switch configuration

Configuration stage (implementation stage)

SOM implementation progresses in the order “module alone → mounted on a carrier board → enclosed”. The position of this product is shown below.

STEP 1

SOM only

System on Module

A core module that integrates the SoC, memory, and power supply. Used mounted on a carrier board.

→

STEP 2

SOM + carrier board

Carrier / SBC / Evaluation board

A working board that carries the SOM and brings out external I/O (Ethernet, USB, video, power, etc.). For evaluation and integration.

This product is here

→

STEP 3

SOM + carrier board + enclosure

Box PC / AI BOX / Edge server

Finished units with the board housed in an enclosure, designed for heat dissipation, dust protection, and installation. They can be installed and put into mass production as-is.

This product is STEP 2 (SOM + carrier board). We can also accommodate changing the selected SOM (STEP 1) or turning it into a finished unit with an enclosure (STEP 3).
