Note

HDMI connectors are populated because PICO-PI and PICO-WIZARD are compatible with SOMs that support on-board HDMI interfaces (such as PICO-IMX8M). This connector is not used when the boards are populated with PICO-IMX8M-MINI (as the i.MX8M MINI SOC does not support HDMI output). If HDMI is needed with PICO-IMX8M-MINI, we have a MIPI-DSI to HDMI adapter board available which is compatible with PICO-WIZARD.
