NXP will introduce the i.MX 95 processor in a live application demonstration at Embedded World, March 10-12 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Engine of industrial innovation

Catalina SBC is optimized for three key pillars of modern industrial technology:

  • Machine Vision: High-throughput support for smart cameras, automated quality inspection, and OCR verification.

  • Robotics and autonomy: A secure foundation for sensor fusion in AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) and AGVs (automated guided vehicles).

  • Predictive maintenance: Prevent equipment failure by processing vibration, acoustic, and thermal data in real time.

Leverage the NXP Gold Partnership

The Catalina series marks the deepening collaboration between Gateworks and NXP. As a Gold Partner of NXP® Semiconductors, Gateworks ensures seamless integration of the NXP i.MX 95 SoC’s advanced features, including the integrated eIQ® Neutron NPU and ISP.

Robert Thompson, Director of Smart Connected Edge Ecosystem at NXP Semiconductors, said: “Gateworks brings proven engineering expertise, high-quality American manufacturing, and a robust platform approach to the i.MX 95 application processor. We will continue to work together to enable our customers to rapidly deploy advanced AI applications with confidence.”

Industrial-grade performance: 10GbE, FSA modularity, and robust resiliency

The Catalina family introduces a “no-compromise” architecture for high-bandwidth industrial applications. Available in compact GW9200 (90 x 100mm) and GW9400 (170 x 100mm), this platform combines advanced networking with field-proven reliability.

  • Dedicated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (GW9200) or SFP+ cages (GW9400) for fiber/copper uplinks enable real-time, low-latency data backhaul.

  • The flexible socket adapter supports up to four sites for M.2 or Mini-PCIe modules and enables seamless integration of NXP’s Ara240 discrete NPU devices, NXP’s IW623 tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and AI accelerators such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi HaLow 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and NVMe storage.

  • Designed for harsh environments with a -40°C to +85°C operating range and a wide 8V to 60V DC input for heavy equipment and communications power rails.

  • The integrated NXP EdgeLock® SE052F secure enclave provides FIPS 140-3 compliant protection and tamper-proof key storage.

Future-proof features for AI acceleration

Recognizing the rapid evolution of AI models, Gateworks is designing a module expansion path based on NXP’s AI technology. This allows customers to scale AI performance as their requirements grow without having to redesign the underlying computing architecture.

“Catalina provides the ‘industrial-grade’ backbone that edge AI and intelligent automation have been waiting for,” said Kelly Peralta, vice president of sales and business development at Gateworks. “By combining NXP’s cutting-edge silicon and AI acceleration with our U.S.-based manufacturing and design expertise, we are helping our customers deploy smarter, more resilient systems at scale.”

Experience the i.MX 95 SoC demonstration at Embedded World North America

NXP will showcase an application-driven demo focused on industrial vision and robotics-enabled architectures powered by the i.MX 95 SoC. Visit NXP at Embedded World, booth 4A-222.

Gateworks’ i.MX 95-based development kits and production products are currently available through distribution or directly through Gateworks.
