SolidRun announced a new NXP i.MX 95 industrial computing portfolio Wednesday, combining a compact processor module, an industrial carrier board and software support for applications including robotics, factory equipment and energy storage. The company says the module and carrier are shipping now.
The announcement at electronica 2026 in Munich also described a demonstrated connection between its NXP-based edge hardware and its NVIDIA-based AI systems using NVIDIA Holoscan. The aim is to connect local sensor processing with more demanding AI workloads while retaining real-time control close to industrial equipment.
Networking built onto the module
The portfolio centers on the i.MX 95 system-on-module and HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT carrier. SolidRun says all three Ethernet physical-layer interfaces, including 10-gigabit Ethernet, are integrated directly on the module. The company calls that an industry first; the claim has not been independently verified.
Moving those components onto the module is intended to reduce the high-speed networking circuitry customers must design into their own carrier boards. SolidRun says the approach can reduce design complexity, electromagnetic-interference compliance risk and development costs. Those are the company’s stated benefits, not independently measured results.
The carrier includes dual Gigabit Ethernet, 10GbE connectivity, CAN-FD, RS485 and RS232 interfaces, two camera interfaces and expansion slots for uses such as storage, AI acceleration and cellular connections.
From sensor data to AI and back
In the demonstrated Holoscan setup, the i.MX 95 processes camera and sensor data before sending it over 10GbE to a SolidRun NVIDIA-based system for GPU inference. Commands then return to a Cortex-M7 core for closed-loop control, according to the company.
SolidRun described the demonstration as the first complete, self-contained implementation of that pipeline using hardware from one vendor. Its claim concerns that particular implementation, rather than all uses of NXP processors or NVIDIA software.
The company says its module retains the 47-by-30-millimeter footprint and pin compatibility of its earlier i.MX8 and i.MX8M Plus modules, offering existing customers an upgrade path. Actual system compatibility depends on the customer’s hardware and configuration.
Shipping now, with industrial options
SolidRun says the module and carrier are available in quad-core and six-core configurations, with commercial, wide and industrial temperature grades. The industrial option is specified for operation from minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius.
The release describes a foundation for ASIL-B and SIL-2 functional safety certification. That does not mean the announcement establishes certification for a customer’s finished system.
The launch brings networking, sensor processing and AI integration into one product family. Whether that reduces engineering time or cost for an equipment maker will depend on the application, integration work and testing.
