Introducing: i.MX95-based SMARC and OSM modules designed to drive the next generation of industrial AI without the supply chain migraine.
If you’re designing anything from a smart retail kiosk to a surgical robot, you now know the drill. You require serious computing horsepower, real-time response and industrial toughness — all while facing time frames that can feel tight to you but appear positively constricted from the vantage point of long-term supply guarantees.
Okay, Geniatech mission of becoming a System-on-Modules clearinghouse could have just gotten a shot in the arm with a new pair of those modules. Powered by NXP’s robust i.MX95 application processor, the SOM-iMX95-SMARC and SOM-iMX95-OSM are designed to serve as the brains of a smarter edge.
“We see our customers facing two primary challenges: integration of complex AI at the edge, and the ability to build and support their products for a decade or more,” says the Geniatech team. “These modules provide high-performance, secure foundations that industries can rely on with the long-term stability required by industries such as automation and medical tech.”
The Brains: Performance Meets Efficiency, with a Dedated AI Coach
Both modules are based i.MX95 processor from NXP. Its architecture is intelligent; where six Arm® Cortex®-A55 co-processor cores (running up to 2.0 GHz) manage the regular OS and applications, while two dedicated real-time co-processors (Cortex-M7 & M33) maintain time-critical control operations. Imagine having a separate, hyper-attentive co-pilot for mission-critical duties while the main brain gets to work making heavier-caliber computations.
Companies like Geniatech turned to NXP devices including for AI workloads that are becoming table stakes, accessing the eIQ® Neutron NPU (Neural Processing Unit.) When coupled with the complete eIQ software suite, it functions as an integrated AI inference accelerator that is easily deployed to run on-device vision analytics, predictive maintenance algorithms and real-time sensor fusion. And it does so efficiently—as a result of Geniatech’s Energy Flex architecture, the modules consume only 3-8 W under typical load.
OSM or SMARC: Choosing the Right Tool for Your Application
Geniatech has two form factors, because in the discombobulated world of IoT we don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all.
The “Embedded Tank”: SOM-iMX95-OSM
Use when: Your design must be space and cost sensitive, and it needs to survive harsh environments.
The pitch: This is a small, solder-down module that complies to the OSM Size L standard (45 x 45mm). It’s also more rugged, vibration-resistant and cheaper to manufacture at scale because it does away with connectors. It’s the perfect “brain” to embed directly in products, such as city sensors or portable medical devices or collaborative robots, that must not fail.
The “Modular Workhorse”: SOM-iMX95-SMARC
Use when: You want the maximum I/O flexibility, easy upgrades, and high performance for complex human machine interface’s (HMI) or gateways.
The pitch: Based on the SMARC 2.1 standard (82 x 50mm) this connector-based module is all about scaleability. Want to update or exchange the compute core within your next product revision? It’s about as simple as switching out a stick of RAM. Packed with a wealth of I/O such as dual GbE with TSN and PCIe Gen 3, it’s combination of connectivity options make it the center of multi-display terminals, AI inspection stations, or rugged edge servers.
Both versions are designed to function between -40°C and +85°C and offer NXP’s EdgeLock® independent secure enclave with industrial-grade security capabilities.
More Than a Module: It’s an Alliance
Geniatech understands you aren’t buying silicon. “Having spent 20+ years in embedded systems, we learned that our success comes from empowerment of our customers,” they observe. That’s why there’s a full board support package (BSP), reference designs, and development kits for every module. They’ll even pitch in with free design review services to get you from prototype to production sooner.
Perhaps the most interesting note for engineers designing long-life-cycle products is the supply chain commitment. And Geniatech has enrolled this series in NXP’s 15 years long product longevity program which ensure its availability not just for today but for the long term of tomorrow.
