Embedded computing specialist Variscite has introduced an upcoming system-on-module (SOM) constructed for high-end edge computing, together with on-device synthetic intelligence (AI) and machine studying (ML) workloads, constructed round the NXP Semiconductors i.MX 95 software processor: the DART-MX95.
“As a Platinum accomplice with early entry to NXP’s expertise, Variscite has an infinite benefit in creating the next-gen system on modules that give our prospects the power to create embedded units of the long run right this moment,” boasts Variscite’s Ofer Austerlitz of the corporate’s upcoming launch. “The DART-MX95 is a robust addition to the revered DART Pin2Pin product household, broadening scalability prospects and guaranteeing future-proof purposes.”

The DART-MX95, which is designed to be a drop-in substitute for different DART Pin2Pin modules, will embrace as much as six Arm Cortex-A55 processor cores operating at as much as 2GHz, a 250MHz Cortex-M7 and an 800MHz Cortex-M33 as coprocessors, as much as 16GB of LPDDR5 reminiscence, as much as 128GB of eMMC storage, and a high-performance neural community coprocessor designed to speed up edge-AI purposes.
The modules may also embrace an Arm Mali 3D-capable graphics processor with OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and OpenCL 3.0 help, dual-band 802.11ax Wi-Fi, with optionally available help for IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth 5.3 with Bluetooth Low Vitality (BLE), provide two gigabit Ethernet connections and a 10-gig-Ethernet connection, provide two PCI Specific Gen.3 lanes, two USB 3.0 ports, CAN FD bus, UART/USART, I2C/I3C, quad-SPI buses, and an on-board analog-to-digital converter. For shows, there can be two MIPI Show Serial Interface (DSI) connections with 4k-resolution help and two Low-Voltage Differential Signalling (LVDS) connections, with twin MIPI Digital camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI2) connections plus analog audio out and in.

Exact specs will fluctuate by machine mannequin chosen, and Variscite is not but sharing pricing — ready, as an alternative, till when NXP has formally pushed the i.MX 95 to common availability, at which level Variscite will make the modules and their analysis kits accessible to order.
