Ronetix RNX-iMX93-SMARC is a SMARC System-on-Module, 82 x 50 mm, built on the NXP i.MX93. Two Arm Cortex-A55 cores at 1.7 GHz run Linux, an Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU (0.5 TOP/s) speeds up machine-learning inference, and a Cortex-M33 at 250 MHz handles real-time control, with the EdgeLock secure enclave for security. It suits power-conscious industrial, IoT and HMI products. Pertech is a Ronetix distributor.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RNX-iMX93-SMARC?
It is a Ronetix SMARC System-on-Module with the NXP i.MX93: two Cortex-A55 cores, an Ethos-U65 microNPU and a Cortex-M33.
Why is RAM limited to 2 GiB?
Ronetix notes that 2 GiB is the maximum because of a limitation of the i.MX93 processor.
SMARC or OSM version?
Same processor. Choose SMARC for a pluggable module on a standard connector, or the RNX-iMX93-OSM for a 45 x 45 mm module soldered onto your board.
Which carrier board do I use?
The RNX-SMARC-CARRIER board.
