So I have to remove those spacers and reinstall the heatsink on top of the processor to make sure the thermal pad is in good contact with the CPU as shown in the photo above. I asked VOIPAC if I made a mistake during reassembly, and the company explained the spacers between the module and the CPUs are mounted intentionally in order to protect the CPU and other ICs from being damaged by the heatsink during transport. The thermal pad looks really thin, and when I reassembled the heatsink on the module, I noticed there was a ~1mm gap between the processor and the thermal pad, and I could easily slide a post-it between the two parts.

I’ll probably try running benchmarks with the thermal pad first and only apply the thermal paste in case I encountered thermal throttling. I was told the thermal pad is more appropriate for an eventual disassembly of the kit, but the provided Kryonaut thermal grease is recommended for benchmarks.

VOIPAC also includes thermal paste for better cooling. … with three 100-pin low-density connectors, as most customers who purchase this devkit will eventually make their own custom carrier board for the end product. The bottom side of the board features the M.2 and mini PCIe sockets, two SIM card slots, a microSD card, and an RTC battery holder fitted with a CR2032 coin cell battery. The box comes with the board itself with each connector nicely marked, so it makes users’ life easier to locate the ports they need without having to them look up in the documentation. and on the back a list of optional accessories that include capacitive display sets, a CAN Bus module, camera modules, a SATA module, antennas, and a 40W power supply. The package comes with a nice photo of the board… VOIPAC iMX8M Industrial Development Kit Unboxing 5V via 5.5/2.1mm power jack or 3-pin terminal block.Reset button, Power button, 5x Control buttons (Enter, Up, Down, Right, Left).

In the first part of the review, we’ll go through the specifications, do an unboxing, and give the board a quick try, before looking more into the software in the second part. The company sent us the “iMX8M Industrial Pro” version for review with 2GB RAM, 16GB eMMC flash, and a WiFi and Bluetooth module. VOIPAC iMX8M Industrial Development Kit comes with an NXP i.MX 8M module with up to 4GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC flash, and an optional wireless module, as well as a features-rich carrier board.
