The TRIA SM2S-IMX952 SMARC module family is powered by the latest i.MX 952 Applications Processor, manufactured by NXP. The processor integrates up to four Arm Cortex-A55 cores, dedicated Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M33 Real-Time Processors, an Arm Mali™ GPU, advanced vision processing capabilities and EdgeLock® Secure Enclave security. Designed for AI-powered vision and sensor fusion applications, the i.MX 952 integrates NXP’s eIQ® Neutron neural processing unit (NPU) and a high-performance image signal processor (ISP), enabling next-generation edge platforms with efficient machine learning and intelligent camera processing capabilities.

The module is part of TRIA's fully scalable i.MX 9 SMARC platform, enabling customers to seamlessly scale performance and functionality while maximizing hardware and software reuse across the entire platform. As the balanced mid-range member of the family, the SM2S-IMX952 provides an optimized combination of performance, power efficiency and functionality for intelligent HMI, industrial control and edge AI applications.

TRIA SM2S-IMX952 provides fast LPDDR5 memory technology with inline ECC support, combined with up to 256GB eMMC Flash memory and high-speed interfaces such as Dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB and PCI Express Gen. 3. Various standard interfaces for embedded applications such as CAN-FD, dual-channel LVDS or MIPI DSI, HDMI and MIPI CSI for connecting cameras are available. An on-board Wireless Module is provided as assembly option.

The module is compliant with the latest SMARC 2.2 standard, allowing easy integration with SMARC baseboards. For evaluation and design-in of the SM2S-IMX95 module, Tria Technologies provides a development platform and a starter kit. Support for Linux is available (Android support available on request)
