The RICO-MX8P is the picture-perfect multimedia solution, boasting SoC-integrated graphics capabilities alongside conducive interfaces to bring industrial displays to life. At home in both commercial settings such as retail outlets and industrial environments like smart factories, AAEON’s newest RISC computing offering pairs excellence in mechanical design with the NXP i.MX 8M Plus platform to produce a board that alleviates pain points across multiple vertical markets.

Integrated GPU for Immersive Visual Displays

Equipped with an integrated Vivante GC7000 UltraLite 3D GPU, a dedicated VPU, and a HDMI 2.0 interface, the RICO-MX8P makes vision a reality for an array of multimedia applications across digital signage, kiosks, and interactive Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising. With support for APIs like OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan, and OpenCL 1.2 and multiformat encoding and decoding, the RICO-MX8P guarantees immersive, smooth visuals with greater control over resource allocation.

Efficient, AI-Ready Platform

The RICO-MX8P is powered by the NXP i.MX 8M Plus, comprised of a quad-core Arm® Cortex®-A53 processor, a secondary core Arm® Cortex® M7, and an optional Neural Processing Unit (NPU) offering up to 2.3 TOPS of inference performance. Combined with its broad industrial connector support, this platform grants users a route to deployment for a variety of low-latency, entry-level AI applications requiring power-efficient object detection, real-time image processing, and machine learning.

Expansive Industrial Communication

Fitting RS-232/422/485 pin headers, UART, GPIO, and an FPC connector on a compact PICO-ITX Plus form factor, the RICO-MX8P is a strong contender for industrial control systems such as PLCs and telemetry systems. Adding to this suitability is the board’s wide temperature option, which ensures optimum operation from -20°C to 70°C. Wireless connectivity also lends credence to such deployment purposes, with support for Wi-Fi and LTE through both an M.2 E-Key and Full-size mPCIe Slot.
