Europe leads to drive Linux into edge devices with streamlined i.MX 91
NXP has developed an optimised Linux processor based on the ARM Cortex-A55 for embedded edge devices with several European companies taking the lead on adoption.
The i.MX91 is an optimised system on chip aimed at emerging protocols such as Matter or the ISO 15118-20 standard for electric vehicle (EV) chargers for creating new, Linux-based product categories across IoT and industrial markets.
The chip includes a 1.4GHz Cortex-A55 with support for LPDDR4 memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet for gateway or multi-network segment support; dual USB ports; and the essential I/O for products in smart factory, smart home, smart office, medical device, metering, and cost-optimized system-on-modules such as those from SECO and Variscite.
