IntroductionThe 8MPNAVQ or "NavQPlus" is a small purpose-built Linux computer evaluation kit (EVK) based on the NXP i.MX 8M Plus SoC. It is focused on the common needs of mobile robotics systems, with a small form factor, Dronecode-compliant JST-GH connectors, and available software stack including Ubuntu Linux and ROS2.The entire design is available for companies building their own similar hardware. NavQPlus is built as a stack of boards, the top board being a SoM (System-on-Module) containing the processor, memory and other components with strict layout requirements, and where the secondary boards are relatively inexpensive (often 4 layer boards) and allows for versions with customization to be easily built.Note that the SoM is almost identical to the larger NXP EVK for i.MX8M Plus with the exception of the I/O voltage level being changed to 3.3V. This makes NavQPlus an excellent stepping stone or bridge from the large EVK to a system that can be duplicated for testing in situ, or even copied directly for your application.
