Welcome to MaaXBoard OSM93
The MaaXBoard OSM93 features an energy-efficient, combination CPU/MPU/NPU, high-performance OSM compute system based on the NXP i.MX93 processor architected with 3 separate processing domains: an application domain, a real-time domain, and an on-board AI accelerator.

Technical Specification

MaaXBoard OSM93 features an NXP i.MX 93 System on Chip compute module, with integrated AI/ML NPU accelerator, EdgeLock security enclave and Energy Flex architecture that supports separated processing domains, such as the Application domain with two ArmRegistered CortexRegistered-A55 (1.7 GHz) cores, the real time domain with ArmRegistered CortexRegistered-M33 (250 MHz) core and Flex domain with ArmRegistered Ethos-U65 NPU (1 GHz). Other resources on the fitted MSC OSM-SF-IMX93 solder-down module include eMMC (16GB) memory, LPDDR4 (2GB, 3.7 GT/s) with inline ECC support, RTC clock and NXP PCA9451 PMIC. Product Brief (Datasheet)

The Raspberry Pi form-factor carrier SBC carrier board adds QSPI flash memory (16Mbit) plus connectivity and UI interfaces. High speed interfaces include four USB 2.0 interfaces (2x host type A, 1x host type-C, 1x device type-C), MIPI DSI display and MIPI CSI camera interfaces, two 1 Gbps Ethernet ports and two high-speed CAN interfaces. Expansion interfaces include a Pi-Hat 40pin-header, 6-pin ADC header and 6-pin SAI digital audio header (supplemented by two onboard PDM microphones). Level-shifted debug UARTs are pinned-out for the application and RT cores.

An M.2 key-E connector on back of the board facilitates easy integration of optional NXP based tri-radio M.2 module solutions, for concurrent Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth (5.3) and 802.15.4 wireless operation.
