ADLINK Technology has unveiled the OSM-IMX95, a powerful OSM Size-L system-on-module (SoM) built around the NXP i.MX 95 processor — a hexa-core Arm Cortex-A55 SoC with integrated real-time cores and an eIQ Neutron NPU capable of delivering up to 2 TOPS of AI acceleration.
Designed for industrial, medical, and smart infrastructure applications, this module combines high performance, robust connectivity, and long-term availability in a compact 45 × 45 mm solder-down form factor compliant with the SGET OSM 1.2 specification.
Following the earlier OSM-IMX93, the ADLINK OSM-IMX95 upgrades nearly every key aspect — from processing power and memory capacity to high-speed I/O.
At its heart, the NXP i.MX 95 features:
- Up to 6x Arm Cortex-A55 cores @ 1.8 GHz
- Real-time co-processors: Cortex-M7 (800 MHz) + Cortex-M33 (250 MHz)
- Integrated GPU: Arm Mali-G310 with support for OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2, and OpenCL 3.0
- AI Engine: eIQ Neutron NPU, up to 2 TOPS for local machine learning inference
The combination of general-purpose cores, real-time subsystems, and a dedicated NPU allows for hybrid AI and control workloads, ideal for robotics, machine vision, smart factory automation, and edge computing systems.
Memory, Storage, and Expansion Options
The module supports a range of memory and storage configurations:
- LPDDR4L RAM: 2GB to 16GB
- eMMC Flash: up to 256GB (standard: 32GB or 64GB)
- Optional QSPI NOR flash on carrier
- SD/SDIO (2x 4-bit) for additional storage or expansion
For high-speed connectivity, the OSM-IMX95 offers USB 3.0, PCIe Gen3, and dual Gigabit Ethernet with TSN support — critical for real-time networking in industrial automation.
Display and Camera Support
The module supports a wide range of display configurations:
- 4-lane MIPI DSI and 8-lane LVDS outputs
- HDMI and eDP via external bridge on carrier boards
- 2-lane MIPI CSI camera interface, compatible with a variety of industrial image sensors
It’s designed to handle high-resolution displays and camera feeds — making it suitable for vision-enabled devices, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and intelligent gateways.
Connectivity and I/O
Beyond the high-speed interfaces, the SoM includes a versatile set of low-speed I/Os:
- 4x UART
- 3x SPI
- 3x I²C
- 2x CAN bus
- Up to 14 GPIO pins with interrupt support
Audio connectivity is provided through two I²S interfaces, with support for up to 192 kHz sampling rates via codecs on the carrier board.
Built for Rugged and Long-Term Industrial Use
The ADLINK OSM-IMX95 is designed to operate in demanding industrial environments.
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (standard), –40°C to +85°C (rugged)
- Humidity: 5–90% RH (non-condensing)
- Shock & Vibration: IEC 60068-2-64 / MIL-STD-202-F certified
ADLINK guarantees 15 years of product availability, a major advantage for OEMs and system integrators in industrial markets where longevity and stability matter.
Software and BSP Support
The SoM ships with support for Yocto Linux BSP and Android (by project).
Developers can also take advantage of Foundries.IO’s Linux microPlatform (LMP) for extended support, OTA updates, and secure deployment pipelines.
While ADLINK has not yet released a dedicated development board for the OSM-IMX95, it’s expected to arrive soon, as the module moves from preliminary to full release.
The ADLINK OSM-IMX95 enters a growing segment of NXP i.MX 95-based OSM modules. Compulab’s MCM-IMX95 and Advantech’s AOM-2521 are among early competitors in this space, signaling a healthy and expanding market for AI-capable industrial modules.
ADLINK has started promoting the OSM-IMX95 publicly, suggesting that commercial availability is near. More details can be found on the official product page once it goes live.
