Avnet Embedded introduces a starter kit for the scalable SMARC 2.1.1 module family »MSC SM2S-IMX93«. It integrates the new i.MX 93 application processor from NXP Semiconductors. The starter kit contains all the components developers need to evaluate the Avnet modules.

The »MSC SM2-SK-IMX9-EP1« starter kit includes the Mini-ITX SMARC carrier board »MSC SM2-MB-EP1«, a suitable cooling solution, the SD card for the Linux installation plus the USB SD card reader, and a power supply including cables. The required module variant can be selected from the standard »MSC SM2S-IMX93« family depending on customer needs. Several LVDS display kits with various resolutions and sizes may complement the starter kit upon request.

Avnet Embedded’s compact »MSC SM2S-IMX93« SMARC 2.1.1 module family is equipped with i.MX 93 applications processors manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. The processors integrate single or dual Arm Cortex-A55 cores up to 1.7 GHz, one Arm Cortex-M33 real-time processor up to 250 MHz and an efficient 2D graphics processing engine. Highlight of the new processors is the Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU, enabling developers to create more capable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient machine learning applications.

The MSC SM2S-IMX93 modules feature a typical design power of 2 to 4 W and are suitable for low-power applications including industrial automation (industrial HMI, machine vision and control, gateways), smart home and building automation (heat pumps, thermostat, security), industrial transport and grid infrastructure (EV charging, environmental control, energy meter).

Tim Jensen, Director of Product Innovation at Avnet Embedded, said: »Based on our longstanding successful partnership with NXP, we have gained early access to the new i.MX 93 processor technologies and are able to provide initial samples of the new SMARC modules, development tools and comprehensive design support within a short period of time. Our customers can immediately start development of their future products to bring them to market quickly«.
