Geniatech, a prominent Chinese manufacturer of embedded computing solutions, has recently unveiled its latest innovation: the SOM-iMX93-OSM system-on-module. This new module is designed based on the Open Standard Module (OSM) form factor, specifically the OSM-S size, measuring just 30 x 30mm. The introduction of this compact and powerful computer-on-module marks a significant advancement for applications in industrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Compact Design Meets High Performance
Geniatech SOM-iMX93-OSM is powered by the NXP i.MX93 processor, a 64-bit dual-core Arm Cortex-A55 application processor clocked at up to 1.7GHz. Complementing the Cortex-A55 cores is the Arm Cortex-M33 core, running at 250MHz, designed specifically for low-latency, real-time operations. This hybrid architecture ensures the module can handle both complex application-level tasks and time-critical processes with efficiency.
Adding to its computational prowess, the i.MX93 integrates the Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU, delivering up to 0.5 TOPS of performance. This capability is tailored for machine vision applications and Intelligent Energy Management (IEM), opening doors for advanced AI-driven solutions.
Features Designed for Industrial and IoT Excellence
Geniatech i.MX93 SoM brings a suite of features that make it an ideal choice for industrial automation and IoT systems:
- Memory and Storage: The module supports up to 2GB LPDDR4 RAM and up to 16GB of eMMC storage, with optional configurations to cater to various use cases.
- Display and Camera Interfaces: It includes support for 1080p60 MIPI-DSI and 720p60 LVDS displays, along with a MIPI-CSI interface for high-quality camera input.
- Extensive I/O Options: The SoM offers a variety of peripheral interfaces, including USB 2.0, UARTs, SPI, I2C, CAN, PWM signals, and GPIOs, providing flexibility for diverse application needs.
Open Standard Module (OSM) Form Factor
One of the standout aspects of the SOM-iMX93-OSM is its adherence to the OSM Size-S standard, a solderable 30x30mm form factor. This design simplifies integration into compact systems while ensuring robust mechanical stability and reliability. The module’s solderable nature enhances durability, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Development and Evaluation Support
To streamline development, Geniatech i.MX93 system-on-module is delivered with the Linux Yocto distribution, an open-source framework known for its adaptability in embedded development. A carrier board is also available, enabling developers to evaluate the module and accelerate their integration process.
Designed for Challenging Environments
Geniatech i.MX93 SoMs is built to operate within a wide temperature range, from 0°C to 70°C, with an optional industrial-grade range of -40°C to 80°C. Its high Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of over 200,000 hours ensures reliability for long-term deployment in mission-critical applications.
A Game-Changer for Embedded Systems
With its compact design, high performance, and extensive feature set, i.MX93 SoM module is poised to revolutionize industrial automation and IoT. The integration of advanced processing capabilities, AI support, and a versatile range of interfaces makes it a powerful choice for developers aiming to push the boundaries of embedded systems.
