i.MX 93 System on Module: A Building Block for Gateways & HMI Solutions
HMI and Gateways play crucial roles in our increasingly interconnected digital landscape. HMIs enable intuitive interaction between humans and complex systems and enhance user experience and productivity, with adoption in consumer, automotive, industrial and medical solutions. Gateways act as bridges between different networks and protocols and facilitate edge computing. Together, HMI and Gateways are essential and drive innovation in smart cities, manufacturing, and home automation.
The i.MX 93 System on Module from iWave is a perfect building block for Industrial Gateways and HMI Solutions. The i.MX 93 applications processor delivers a strong combination of performance and power optimization to accelerate processing and machine learning at the edge. Continue reading to find out why the i.MX 93 Processor and the System on Module is the right fit for your HMI and Gateway solution:
Key reasons to consider the i.MX 93 Processor for your gateway and HMI Solutions:
1. Powerful Compute Engine and integrated NPU: The i.MX 93 family integrates the scalable Arm® Cortex®-A55 core, delivering excellent performance and energy efficiency for Linux-based edge applications, ideal for HMI and Gateway systems. The A55 core features the latest Armv8-A architecture extensions with dedicated instructions to accelerate machine learning (ML). With an integrated Arm® Ethos™-U65 microNPU which is a dedicated NPU, the i.MX 93 enables the implementation of Machine learning and AI algorithms on the edge. The SoC supports AI frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite and ONNX
2. Display, Multimedia and High-Speed Interfaces: The processor supports high speed interfaces for connectivity and data transfer with 2x CAN-FD interfaces, 2 x USB 2.0, 3x SD/SDIO 3.01 and 2x Gbit Ethernet. The i.MX 93 processor contain a 4-lane MIPI-DSI capable of supporting 1080p60 resolution, a 4-lane LVDS and parallel display interfaces capable of 720p60 resolution. Additionally, it features a high-efficiency pixel pipeline to perform 2D graphics processing to realize cost-effective GUI solutions. It is capable of image rotation (90°, 180°, 270°), image resize, colour space conversion, multiple pixel format support (RGB, YUV444, YUV422, YUV420, YUV400) and standard 2D-DMA operations
3. Robust System Security: The i.MX 93 family implements security via NXP’s EdgeLock® secure enclave, a preconfigured, self-managed and autonomous security subsystem. Security functions, such as root of trust, run-time attestation, trust provisioning, secure boot, key management and cryptographic services can be implemented with ease on the system.
Key reasons to consider the i.MX 93 System on Module for your gateway and HMI Solutions:
1. Modularity and Scalability: The family of System on Modules from iWave provides the scalability and modularity required in HMI and display systems. The SoM is available in the OSM, SMARC and SODIMM form factors and standards, with varying features and form factors which can be selected as per the product requirements.
2. Wireless Connectivity Options: The available of Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connectivity option on the System on Modules gives product designers ease while designing the systems. In today’ connected world, wireless connectivity for HMI and Gateways is an absolute must.
3. Industrial Grade & Product Longevity: As part of iWave’s longevity program, iWave ensures supply continuity and preserves your engineering investment for system designs for 15 years. The System on Modules support the industrial grade operating temperature range and withstand harsh operating conditions.
4. Software Availability: With support for Linux BSP for the System on Modules, iWave maintains a path of software releases with the latest and greatest of kernel patches and bug fixes to support the customers in their design. iWave also helps customers integrate specific drivers based on their requirements.
At the Hardware Layer, the SoM integrates the power i.MX 93 applications processor, together with the necessary high-speed interfaces, ensuring robust performance and real-time communication crucial for Gateway and HMI systems. On the next OS Layer, with the support for both Linux and real-time operating systems (RTOS), the SoM enables the required application software for HMI applications & Gateway functionalities. The Middleware Layer benefits from the SoM’s advanced media processing, ensuring smooth communication and graphics management. Finally, in the HMI Layer, the SoM enhances user experiences through AI-driven interactions like speech recognition, high-resolution display support, and multimedia processing, making it ideal for impulsive, real-time monitoring and control in both HMI and Gateway systems.
