NXP FRDM i.MX 93 Development Board for Industrial & IoT Applications
Accelerate Industrial and IoT development with NXP FRDM i.MX 93, featuring i.MX93 processor, Tri-Radio connectivity, HDMI, LPDDR4/eMMC, and GoPoint demos.
The FRDM i.MX 93 is a compact, low-cost development board built around NXP’s i.MX93 applications processor, designed for Industrial IoT, smart home, and edge applications. It features the onboard IW612 module, NXP’s Tri-Radio solution supporting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and 802.15.4, enabling robust wireless connectivity for modern IoT systems.
The board integrates LPDDR4/LPDDR4X memory, eMMC storage for fast boot, and a HDMI display interface for rich user interfaces and visualization. A built-in PMIC and multiple expansion connectors allow flexible prototyping and integration with custom peripherals.
Developers can leverage GoPoint for i.MX Applications Processors, a set of comprehensive demos and reference designs to accelerate development cycles, reduce time-to-market, and evaluate a wide range of use cases. Ideal for engineers building connected industrial devices, smart gateways, or IoT edge solutions, the FRDM i.MX 93 platform combines performance, connectivity, and ease of prototyping in a single, versatile package.
