The VVDN i.MX 94 applications processor System-on-Module (SoM) is a compact, industrial-grade embedded computing platform designed to enable deterministic real-time control, secure edge intelligence and mission-critical industrial automation.
Powered by NXP’s i.MX 94 applications processor multi-core processor, the SoM combines high-performance application processing, real-time MCU-class control, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and rich industrial connectivity in a robust and space-efficient form factor.
Optimized for industrial gateways, PLCs, factory automation systems, robotics controllers, and smart control applications, the i.MX 94 applications processor SoM delivers high reliability, ultra-low latency, and long-term industrial scalability for demanding environments.
The SoM can be paired with VVDN-designed universal SMARC or custom carrier boards, enabling rapid product development and a seamless transition to mass production.
