Edge AI Development with NXP FRDM i.MX 93
Dual Cortex-A55 + Cortex-M33 heterogeneous platform with Ethos U-65 NPU, EdgeLock secure enclave, and industrial connectivity for edge AI applications
Solution Overview
The NXP FRDM i.MX 93 development platform, enhanced with Avocado Linux and Peridio Fleet, delivers a production-ready heterogeneous computing solution for edge AI applications. This integrated platform combines dual Cortex-A55 application processors, a Cortex-M33 real-time core, and an Ethos U-65 NPU to enable sophisticated edge processing with 0.5 TOPS of AI performance. The pre-integrated Linux and RTOS environment eliminates months of complex multi-core development, while EdgeLock security and atomic OTA updates ensure enterprise-grade deployment from prototype to production. Teams can leverage industrial connectivity options including CAN FD and Gigabit Ethernet to build secure, scalable edge AI systems that operate reliably in -40°C to +85°C environments with 10+ years of platform support.
