{{Short description|Family of microcontrollers}}
{{lowercase title}}
The '''i.MX''' range is a family of [[NXP]] proprietary [[microprocessor]]s dedicated to multimedia applications based on the [[ARM architecture]] and focused on low-power consumption. The i.MX application processors are [[System-on-a-chip|SoC]]s (system-on-chip) that integrate many processing units into one die, like the main CPU, a video processing unit, and a graphics processing unit for instance. The i.MX products are qualified for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Most of them are guaranteed for a production lifetime of 10 to 15 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freescale.com/productlongevity |title=Product Longevity&#124;NXP |website=Freescale.com |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>

Devices that use i.MX processors include [[Ford Sync]], the [[Amazon Kindle]] and [[Kobo eReader]] series of e-readers until 2021, [[Zune]] (except for Zune HD), [[Sony Reader]], [[Onyx Boox]] readers/tablets, [[SolidRun]] [[System on module|SOM]]'s (including [[CuBox]]), [[Purism (company)|Purism]]'s [[Librem 5]], some Logitech [[List of Logitech products#Remotes|Harmony]] remote controls  and [[Squeezebox (network music player)|Squeezebox]] radio and some [[Gigabeat|Toshiba Gigabeat]] MP4 players. The i.MX range was previously known as the "DragonBall MX" family, the fifth generation of [[Freescale DragonBall|DragonBall]] microcontrollers. i.MX originally stood for "innovative Multimedia eXtension".

The i.MX products consist of hardware (processors and development boards) and software optimized for the processor.

==i.MX 8 series==
There are four major different series of the i.MX 8:

* i.MX 8 series
* i.MX 8M series,
* i.MX 8ULP series,
* i.MX 8X series.

Each series differs significantly from each other and are not pin compatible. Within each series some versions are pin compatible.

Each series also has a suffix such as Quad, Dual, Plus, Max or a combination thereof, for example: QuadMax or DualPlus. The i.MX 8 series has many variants but it is not clear how the name corresponds to a feature set. In previous CPU series the naming convention clearly corresponds to a function or feature set, but this is not the case with i.MX 8.

The i.MX 8 series was announced in September 2013 and is based on the [[ARMv8-A]] [[64-bit]] CPU architecture. According to NXP, the i.MX 8 series is designed for Driver Information Systems (car computers) and applications have been released.<ref name="auto" />

In May 2016 the i.MX 8 became available as a multisensory enablement kit (MEK) based on i.MX 8.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.nxp.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=254228&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2168969 |title=NXP Semiconductors :: Press Release |website=Media.nxp.com |date=2016-05-17 |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref><ref name="i.MX 8 Multisensory Enablement Kit">{{cite web|url=http://www.nxp.com/pages/i.mx-8-multisensory-enablement-kit:i.MX8-MEK?tid=vaniMX8-MEK |title=i.MX 8 Multisensory Enablement Kit |website=NXP.com |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref><ref name="cnx-software.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/05/17/nxp-unveiled-i-mx-8-multisensory-enablement-kit-with-hexa-core-armv8-processor/ |title=NXP Unveils i.MX 8 Multisensory Enablement Kit with Hexa Core ARMv8 Processor |website=Cnx-software.com |date=2016-05-17 |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref> Slides from NXP FTF found on the web <ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.mynavi.jp/photo/articles/2016/05/18/nxpftf2016_imx8/images/100l.jpg |title=拡大画像 013 &#124; 【レポート】NXP FTF 2016 - 28nm FD-SOIで製造されるi.MX 8 (1) FTFがNX…… &#124; マイナビニュース |website=News.mynavi.jp |date= 18 May 2016|access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref> indicated an initial total of 5 variants (with a main level of categorization into "Dual" and "Quad") with varying the CPU and GPU capabilities. The CPU was suggested to include varying counts of [[Cortex-A72]], [[Cortex-A53]] and [[Cortex-M4]], while the GPU is either 1 or 2 units of the [[Vivante]] GC7000VX. Other publications supported this general image, some even including photos of an evaluation kit that is named "Multisensory Enablement Kit" (MEK) that got later promoted as a development support product by NXP.<ref name="cnx-software.com"/><ref name="i.MX 8 Multisensory Enablement Kit"/>

All versions includes one or two [[Cortex-A72]] CPU cores and all versions includes two [[ARM Cortex-M#Cortex-M4|Cortex-M4F]] CPU cores.

All i.MX 8 [[System on a chip|SoCs]] include Vivante GC7000 Series GPUs. The QuadPlus is using GC7000Lite cores, while the 'QuadMax' includes two full GC7000 GPUs.

==Related series==
A very similar series designed for the automotive market currently using ARM [[Cortex-A53]] and/or ARM [[Cortex-M4]] cores was presented in mid-2015 using the prefix [[NXP ARM S32|S32]].

==Software support==
Freescale proposed a layered approach of software with selection of software components optimized for its [[Integrated circuit|chips]]. The i.MX [[board support package]]s (BSP), common across all i.MX nodes, consists of kernel optimization, hardware drivers, and unit tests. The company also provides multimedia codecs (ARM and Video processing unit accelerated). i.MX also includes middleware with reuse of open source frameworks like multimedia framework plugins, power management, security/DRM, or graphics ([[OpenGL]]/[[OpenVG]]).

===Linux===
Freescale i.MX development kits include a Linux software stack with a GNOME Mobile environment.

On the i.MX51 family, the reference user interface is [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]]. The last Ubuntu version supported is 10.04.1 (still available on mirrors). Ubuntu dropped the "official" i.MX51 family support since version 10.10.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/MaverickReleaseNotes |title=ARM/MaverickReleaseNotes - Ubuntu Wiki |website=Wiki.ubuntu.com |date=2011-09-23 |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref> Since Ubuntu 11.10 support for the i.MX53 Quickstart board is available as a preinstalled desktop or server SD card.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.edubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#New_ARM_subarchitectures |title=OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes - Ubuntu Wiki |website=Wiki.edubuntu.org |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>

The [[OpenEmbedded]] Linux distribution supports several i.MX platforms.

Commercial Linux support is available from companies like [[Lanedo]], [[TimeSys]], [[MontaVista]], [[Wind River Systems]] and [[Mentor Graphics]].

===Android===
In February 2010, Freescale launched an [[Android (operating system)|Android]] platform for the i.MX5x family.<ref>{{cite web |title=Android OS for i.MX Applications Processors&#124;NXP |url=http://www.freescale.com/imxandroid |access-date=2016-09-24 |website=Freescale.com}}</ref>
