iWave launches SMARC-compliant system on module

iWave has launched the iW-RainboW-G61M System on Module, powered by NXP Semiconductors’ i.MX 95 applications processor. Built on the SMARC v2.1.1 standard, the SoM provides product designers with scalability and modularity. The System on Modules and evaluation kits from iWave will be available for evaluation starting in April 2024.

The SoM leverages 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. It offers high-speed connectivity options such as 10GbE, USB 3, and PCIe Gen 3, together with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity. The System on Module caters to a wide range of products and applications, including automotive connectivity, infotainment systems, and 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 and 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 assures customers a SoM product longevity of 15+ years and complementary ODM models on hardware customization, software customization, and mechanical and thermal analysis.

Complementing the System on Module, iWave enables customers with NXP i.MX 95 SoM evaluation kits with the latest software packages to expedite their evaluation and time to market.
