Memory interface flexibility
Peripheral set for a connected edge node
Two USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHY. Gigabit Ethernet MAC on-die; external PHY needed. PCIe, SDHC, SPI, I²C, UART. MIPI-DSI display controller.
Security hardware baked in
ARM TrustZone, CAAM (cryptographic acceleration), HAB (high-assurance boot), OCRAM secure region, RDC (resource domain controller), SJC (secure JTAG), and SNVS (secure non-volatile storage) are all on-die. For a connected product that must enforce secure boot and encrypted storage, this avoids a separate secure element.
