As explained in my blog yesterday, for the next 10 days, I will countdown 10 top reasons to consider the i.MX RT1010 for your next design.  Today we start with reason #10 -the EVK.  Since the first i.MX RT crossover MCU first launched in 2017, the EVK has been the board of choice for developers. Right-sized with the right level of features and capabilities

iWave Systems, a leading embedded solutions provider company based in Bangalore has successfully demonstrated Xen virtualization hypervisor on their i.MX8 QM SoC based System on Module. The  multi-core SOM comprises of 2x Arm^® Cortex^® -A72 @1.8 GHz and 4x Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 @1.2 GHz and 2x additional Cortex^®-M4F @ 266 MHz, rendering a highly powerful  integrated solution on a SMARC R2.0 compatible module.

Though not widely publicized, the $1 price point of the newly announced i.MX RT1010 crossover MCU made me pause. My parents always told me that a dollar is not what it used to be, meaning that the value of a dollar today does not go nearly as far as it used to for them when they were growing up.
