What Is the DEBIX Infinity?
The DEBIX Infinity is an industrial single board computer (SBC) built around the NXP i.MX 8M Plus Quad Lite processor. Announced at Embedded World 2024 by DEBIX together with RS and OKdo, it is positioned as a Linux-ready, industrial-grade Arm platform rather than a hobbyist SBC. If you are evaluating it, you are almost certainly looking for a long-lifecycle Arm board — or an equivalent industrial computer in a finished enclosure — for edge, IoT or automation work.
Key Specifications
| Feature | DEBIX Infinity (as published by DEBIX) |
|---|---|
| Processor | NXP i.MX 8M Plus Quad Lite: quad Arm Cortex-A53 cluster + Cortex-M7 real-time core @ 800 MHz |
| Memory | Up to 8 GB LPDDR4 |
| Storage | Up to 256 GB eMMC |
| Networking | Dual Gigabit Ethernet (one port with TSN support), Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 5.2 |
| Expansion & I/O | PCIe x1, USB 3.0, industrial I/O headers |
| Operating Systems | Ubuntu, Yocto, Debian, Windows 10 IoT |
| Operating Temperature | Approximately −20 °C to 70 °C |
The Cortex-A53 cluster handles Linux and application workloads, while the separate Cortex-M7 core is intended for hard real-time tasks — motor control, deterministic fieldbus handling, sensor sampling — without fighting the main OS for CPU time. Time
