{{Short description|Family of microcontrollers}}
{{lowercase title}}
The '''i.MX''' range is a family of [[Freescale Semiconductor]] (now part of [[NXP]]) proprietary [[microcontroller]]s for multimedia applications based on the [[ARM architecture]] and focused on low-power consumption. The i.MX application processors are [[System-on-a-chip|SoC]]s (System-on-Chip) that integrate many processing units into one die, like the main CPU, a video processing unit, and a graphics processing unit for instance. The i.MX products are qualified for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Most of them are guaranteed for a production lifetime of 10 to 15 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freescale.com/productlongevity |title=Product Longevity&#124;NXP |website=Freescale.com |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>
Devices that use i.MX processors include [[Ford Sync]], the [[Amazon Kindle]] and [[Kobo eReader]] series of e-readers until 2021, [[Zune]] (except for Zune HD), [[Sony Reader]], [[Onyx Boox]] readers/tablets, [[SolidRun]] [[System on module|SOM]]'s (including [[CuBox]]), [[Purism (company)|Purism]]'s [[Librem 5]], some Logitech [[List of Logitech products#Remotes|Harmony]] remote controls  and [[Squeezebox (network music player)|Squeezebox]] radio and some [[Gigabeat|Toshiba Gigabeat]] MP4 players. The i.MX range was previously known as the "DragonBall MX" family, the fifth generation of [[Freescale DragonBall|DragonBall]] microcontrollers. i.MX originally stood for "innovative Multimedia eXtension".
The i.MX products consist of hardware (processors and development boards) and software optimized for the processor.

==i.MX 8 series==
There are four major different series of the i.MX 8:
* i.MX 8 series
* i.MX 8M series,
* i.MX 8ULP series,
* i.MX 8X series.
Each series differs significantly from each other and are not pin compatible. Within each series some versions are pin compatible.
Each series also has a suffix such as Quad, Dual, Plus, Max or a combination thereof, for example: QuadMax or DualPlus. The i.MX 8 series has many variants but it is not clear how the name corresponds to a feature set. In previous CPU series the naming convention clearly corresponds to a function or feature set, but this is not the case with i.MX 8.
The i.MX 8 series was announced in September 2013 and is based on the [[ARMv8-A]] [[64-bit]] CPU architecture. According to NXP, the i.MX 8 series is designed for Driver Information Systems (car computers) and applications have been released.<ref name="auto" />

==Related series==
A very similar series designed for the automotive market currently using ARM [[Cortex-A53]] and/or ARM [[Cortex-M4]] cores was presented in mid-2015 using the prefix [[NXP ARM S32|S32]].
==Software support==
Freescale proposed a layered approach of software with selection of software components optimized for its [[Integrated circuit|chips]]. The i.MX [[board support package]]s (BSP), common across all i.MX nodes, consists of kernel optimization, hardware drivers, and unit tests. The company also provides multimedia codecs (ARM and Video processing unit accelerated). i.MX also includes middleware with reuse of open source frameworks like multimedia framework plugins, power management, security/DRM, or graphics ([[OpenGL]]/[[OpenVG]]).
===Linux===
Freescale i.MX development kits include a Linux software stack with a GNOME Mobile environment.
On the i.MX51 family, the reference user interface is [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]]. The last Ubuntu version supported is 10.04.1 (still available on mirrors). Ubuntu dropped the "official" i.MX51 family support since version 10.10.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/MaverickReleaseNotes |title=ARM/MaverickReleaseNotes - Ubuntu Wiki |website=Wiki.ubuntu.com |date=2011-09-23 |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref> Since Ubuntu 11.10 support for the i.MX53 Quickstart board is available as a preinstalled desktop or server SD card.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.edubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#New_ARM_subarchitectures |title=OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes - Ubuntu Wiki |website=Wiki.edubuntu.org |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>
The [[OpenEmbedded]] Linux distribution supports several i.MX platforms.
Commercial Linux support is available from companies like [[Lanedo]], [[TimeSys]], [[MontaVista]], [[Wind River Systems]] and [[Mentor Graphics]].
===FreeBSD===
Support for the Freescale i.MX51 was added to FreeBSD on 2013-03-20.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2013-March/045863.html |title=Svn commit: r248557 Controller |website=Lists.freebsd.org |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>  Support for other members of the i.MX5 family has been added since.
Support for the Freescale i.MX 6 family was added to FreeBSD on 2013-10-31.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2013-November/006877.html |title=Wandboard support |website=Lists.freebsd.org |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>
===NetBSD===
[[NetBSD]] 6.0 comes with support for the Freescale i.MX51.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-6/NetBSD-6.0.html |title=Announcing NetBSD 6.0 |website=Netbsd.org |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref> In version 7.0, support for i.MX 6 based boards was added.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/working_arm_multiprocessor_support |title=NetBSD Blog |website=Blog.netbsd.org |date=2014-11-06 |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>

===RISC OS===
i.MX support in [[RISC OS]] has been available since 2015.
===Windows CE===
Freescale i.MX development kits include [[Windows CE|WinCE]].
===Android===
In February 2010, Freescale launched an [[Android (operating system)|Android]] platform for the i.MX5x family.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freescale.com/imxandroid |title=Android OS for i.MX Applications Processors&#124;NXP |website=Freescale.com |access-date=2016-09-24}}</ref>
===Chromium===
In early 2010 Freescale demoed [[ChromiumOS]] running on the i.MX515 processor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr5cGR-uSv4  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Yr5cGR-uSv4 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Chromium OS on a $199 Tablet |publisher=[[YouTube]] |date=2010-03-08 |access-date=2016-09-24}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The company has not disclosed any further plans about Chromium or Chrome.
===Real-time OS===
Freescale has a range of partners providing [[real-time operating system]]s and software running on the i.MX processors, such as [[Maxim Integrated Products|Trinity Convergence]], Adeneo, Thundersoft, Intrinsyc, [[Wind River Systems]], [[QNX]], [[Green Hills Software|Green Hills]], [[SYSGO]] and [[Mentor Graphics]].<ref>[http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=FWDN_CUST_EXPER_CNTR_WP]{{dead link|date=September 2016}}</ref>
