Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ABX00049:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Unleash the power of 9 cores within a compact form factor.

Onboard **Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity** allows you to carry out OS/application updates remotely, always keeping the Linux kernel environment at top performance levels. The X8’s **hybrid combination of microprocessor and microcontroller** offers unprecedented flexibility to simultaneously and securely run Linux apps and perform real-time tasks. Overall, this powerful SOM features a total of **9 cores** within a compact form factor of **66.04 x 25.40 mm**. It has an an **NXP® i.MX 8M Mini** Cortex®-A53 quad-core up to 1.8GHz per core and 1x Cortex®-M4 up to 400MHz, plus an **STMicroelectronics STM32H747** dual-core Cortex®-M7 up to 480Mhz + M4 32-bit Arm® MCU up to 240Mhz. In addition, Portenta X8 achieved **PSA Certification** and includes the NXP SE050C2 **hardware security element** to provide key generation, accelerated crypto operations and secure storage. X8 also achieved **Arm SystemReady certification** and integrated Parsec services, making it one of the first Cassini Products or **Cloud Native Edge devices** available to developers in the market. Enabling the migration of cloud-native workloads from the Cloud to the edge, the X8 contributes to a cloud-native developer experience across Arm’s diverse and secure IoT ecosystem. **Specifications**| Processor | NXP® i.MX 8M Mini - 4x ARM® Cortex® -A53 core up to 1.8GHz, 1x ARM Cortex -M4 core up to 400 MHz | |---|---| | Microcontroller | STMicroelectronics STM32H747AII6 Dual ARM® Cortex® M7/M4 IC - 1x ARM Cortex -M7 core up to 480 MHz 1x ARM Cortex -M4 core up to 240 MHz | | External Memory | 2 GByte Low Power DDR4 DRAM; 16 GByte eMMC | | USB-C | USB-C High Speed; Host and Device operation; Power Delivery support | | Connectivity | 1Gbit Ethernet interface (PHY); Wi-Fi; Bluetooth® Low Energy | | Security | NXP® SE050C2 Crypto on a separate secure bus | | Dimensions | 66,04 mm x 25,40 mm | | Certifications | PSA from ARM®; Arm® SystemReady IR (multiple distributions) | | Interfaces | CAN; PCIe; SAI; MIPI; DSI; SPI; I2S; I2C; UART; PDM | | Operating Temperature | -40° C to +85° C (-22° F to 185°F) | **Resources** [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/ABX00049-datasheet_4359766d976.pdf) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/A/B/ABX00049-5.jpg)
