The SoM, built on the SMARC v2.1.1 standard, provides product designers with scalability and modularity. Both modules and evaluation kits are now available for evaluation.
The SoM helps users to leverage the multi-core architecture of the NXP i.MX 95 applications processor family, offering high-speed data processing alongside secure, real-time, and low-power modes.
The SoM offers high-speed connectivity options such as 10GbE, USB 3, PCIe Gen 3, together with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity. It caters to a wide range of products and applications ranging from automotive connectivity and infotainment systems to Industry 4.0 applications.
The flex domains on the NXP i.MX 95 SoC allows engineers to mix which pieces of IP they want to use in a particular domain. The Multimedia block includes an Arm Mali 3D GPU core, but also an independent 2D GPU with a real-time blend engine. The i.MX 95 SoC is also NXP’s first applications processor to support LPDDR5 DRAM, enabling increased bandwidth for applications leveraging the embedded workload accelerators.
The SoM is available in Industrial Grade with the associated BSP support and regular software updates from iWave. iWave has also assured customers of the SoM product’s longevity of 15+ years and complementary ODM models on hardware customisation, software customization, and mechanical and thermal analysis.
“iWave is offering designers a powerful SoC with advanced 3D graphics, neural processing, and a new flex domain architecture, “said Immanuel Rathinam, Vice President – System on Modules at iWave. As a premier partner with early access to NXP technology, iWave iW-RainboW-G61M System on Module, powered by the NXP i.MX 95 applications processor, enables customers to leverage the powerful features of the latest SoC from NXP.”
“The NXP i.MX 95 is designed to deliver the next generation of edge computing performance for the industrial IoT market,” said Robert Thompson, Director, Secure Connected Edge ecosystem, NXP. “iWave has a long history of developing advanced system on modules based on NXP’s i.MX applications processors. The iW-RainboW-G61M not only extends this collaboration but delivers the features of the i.MX 95 in a module that will accelerate time to market for customers.”
