Updated: April 19, 2023

This section provides information about the hardware supported by the reference image.

Supported hardware boards

The reference image runs on the NXP iMX8QM-MEK hardware board.

Supported cameras and sensors

The NXP iMX8QM-MEK board can be connected to multiple cameras and sensors. To connect the cameras, the default configuration uses:
  • A single OV5640 camera directly connected to the SOC
  • Four OV10635 cameras connected through the Maxim 9286 deserializer board
Alternatively, you can also use GigE Vision compliant cameras or USB cameras.
For a list of supported cameras and sensors, see Reference image sensor support in the “Understanding Reference Images” chapter of the Getting Started Overview guide.
Note: You should also look at the release notes for the reference image to see if there are any limitations for specific configurations.
