Aquila iMX95
The Aquila iMX95 SoM combines the full capabilities of the i.MX 95 SoC with Toradex’s proven technology. This module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Toradex’s existing product lines.
Key features include:
• A 400-pin board-to-board connector, which provides access to i.MX95 SoC interfaces that are otherwise not available, like the 10 GbE and 2x PCIe ports
• Pure compute performance from the 6xA55 cores coupled with LPDDR5 memory (6400MT/s) opens up new possibilities for enhanced multitasking, faster data processing, smoother graphics and quicker load times
• The LPDDR5 memory with support for up to 8x cameras allows developers to get creative with image stitching and environment mapping applications
• High-speed networking with a 10 gigabit ethernet interface in addition to the usual 2x gigabit ethernet, all with TSN capability
• Expansion possibilities to multiple peripherals such as high-speed storage, connectivity and networking enabled by 2 separate instances of PCIe Gen3 (x1 lane)
• Seamless Performance Scaling: The Aquila iMX95 offers full pin-to-pin compatibility with other Aquila SoMs, facilitating easy scaling of projects. For more demanding applications, performance options extend up to the Aquila AM69
