The UCM-iMX95, a compact System-on-Module by Compulab, is built around the NXP i.MX 95 processor, leveraging ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 2.0 GHz. Optimized for industrial applications, it delivers robust performance in graphics, image processing, and artificial intelligence workloads.

This ultra-compact System-on-Module, measuring just 28 x 40 mm, integrates up to six Cortex-A55 CPU cores alongside a real-time Cortex-M7 microcontroller. It features advanced graphics and video capabilities powered by the ARM Mali GPU, supporting 4K video encoding and decoding with compatibility for OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and OpenCL 3.0.

To handle artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks, the module incorporates the eIQ Neutron NPU, delivering dedicated processing power.

  

The UCM-iMX95 offers extensive memory and storage options, with support for up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB of eMMC flash.

It is equipped with advanced I/O interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet, 10 GbE, USB 3.0, PCIe, and up to 75 general-purpose GPIOs. Display capabilities include support for MIPI-DSI and LVDS interfaces, allowing resolutions up to 4K at 30 frames per second.

 

Certified for 802.11ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3, the module provides robust wireless communication options. It also includes five CAN buses, eight UARTs, and multiple SPI and I2C interfaces.

The UCM-iMX95 supports mainline Linux and the Yocto Project, with a comprehensive Board Support Package. Developers benefit from ready-to-run images, Linux kernel support, and U-Boot integration. Real-time operating systems are also supported, ensuring compatibility with time-sensitive applications.

 

With an operating temperature range spanning -40°C to 85°C, the UCM-iMX95 is designed for reliable performance in challenging environments. According to the product page, the module is currently in the pre-production stage, and its specifications are subject to change.

Compulab also offers a compatible evaluation kit, featuring essential components such as GbE ports, camera interfaces, NVMe storage, and a variety of wireless connectivity options.
