A general purpose Cortex -M4 core Processor is for low-power processing. The DRAM controller supports 32-bit/16-bit LPDDR4, DDR4, and DDR3L memory.

2 There are a number of other interfaces for connecting peripherals, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, displays, and camera sensors. The 8M Quad and 8M Dual processors have hardware acceleration for video playback up to 4K, and can drive the video outputs up to 60 fps. Although the 8M QuadLite Processor does not have hardware acceleration for video decode, it allows for video playback with software decoders if 8M Dual / 8M QuadLite / 8M Quad Applications Processors data Sheet for Industrial Products1. 8M Dual / 8M QuadLite / 8M Quad introduction ..
