MSC SM2S-IMX95
The MSC SM2S-IMX95 SMARC module family is powered by the latest i.MX 95 Applications Processors, manufactured by NXP. The processors integrates up to six Arm Cortex-A55 cores, dedicated Arm Cortex-M7 and M33 Real-Time Processors, immersive Arm Mali™ GPU, 4K capable VPU combined with Edgelock® secure enclave security. The i.MX 95 family is the first i.MX applications processor family to integrate NXP’s eIQ® Neutron neural processing unit (NPU) and a new image signal processor (ISP) developed by NXP, helping developers to build powerful, next-generation edge platforms.
MSC SM2S-IMX95 provides fast LPDDR5 memory technology with inline ECC support, combined with up to 256GB eMMC Flash memory and high speed interfaces such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and PCI Express Gen. 3. Various standard interfaces for embedded applications such as CAN-FD, dual-channel LVDS or MIPI DSI, HDMI and MIPI CSI for connecting a camera are available. An on-board Wireless Module is provided as assembly option.
The module is compliant with the new SMARC 2.2 standard, allowing easy integration with SMARC baseboards. For evaluation and design-in of the SM2S-IMX95 module, Avnet Embedded provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Android support available on request)
