Toradex Aquila AM69 Arm Cortex-A72 SOM, NXP i.MX 95 Verdin Evaluation Kit

Simon Horvath, a product manager at Toradex, introduces the Aquila AM69, a high-performance compute module developed in collaboration with Texas Instruments (TI). This module boasts eight cores, 32 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) AI performance, and is designed to meet the demanding compute needs of various industries, particularly industrial applications. It features eight ARM Cortex-A72 cores, offering up to 100,000 Dhrystone MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second).
The Aquila AM69 module is supported by Torizon, providing traditional BSP (Board Support Package) support along with additional features such as remote secure over-the-air updates and fleet management. It comes with an evaluation kit, the Toradex NXP i.MX 95 Evaluation Kit, which includes a single-board computer with a customized board and a heatsink, along with necessary documentation to facilitate easy setup and use.
Early access to the Aquila AM69 and its evaluation kit is available through TI's Early Access program, with limited availability initially. The chip itself originates from the automotive industry but is being adapted for industrial applications initially, with a focus on performance and reliability.
The Verdin i.MX 95 series, is set to be released later in the year, expanding the range of available options. The Verdin family, which includes the Verdin MX 6, targets entry to medium-level performance needs, while the Aquila family focuses on high-performance computing, particularly with AI capabilities integrated.
The Aquila family utilizes a board-to-board connector solution, while the Verdin family uses an edge connector. Both families aim to cater to a range of industrial use cases, enabling applications such as computer vision and AI-driven processes.
In addition to hardware offerings, Toradex also provides software solutions, such as Torizon Cloud, which simplifies device management and updates for embedded systems. Horizon OS, utilized in Torizon Cloud, is designed with security in mind, ensuring compliance with industry standards and offering flexibility in hardware selection.
Toradex's ecosystem extends to partnerships with companies like Flyn, demonstrating applications such as alcohol testing devices powered by their hardware. These partnerships highlight the versatility and potential applications of Toradex's embedded computing solutions.
Toradex also offers customization services through its Toradex Solutions division, allowing customers to create tailored products based on their specific requirements. This flexibility, combined with the reliability and performance of Toradex's hardware and software offerings, positions the company as a leading provider in the embedded computing industry.
Overall, Toradex's presence at events like Embedded World showcases not only their hardware offerings but also their commitment to providing comprehensive solutions that address the evolving needs of the embedded computing market.
