NXP i.MX Processors for Industrial Systems
NXP's i.MX applications processors are built for long-life industrial and automotive equipment. Each one pairs Arm Cortex-A application cores with Cortex-M real-time cores on the same chip, so Linux and a real-time control loop can run side by side, and industrial parts are covered by NXP's product longevity program. The range runs from the i.MX 8M family for HMIs and multimedia to the i.MX 8M Plus with an NPU and the i.MX 94 with a built-in TSN Ethernet switch.
01 NXP i.MX Processors
NXP i.MX Processors by Chip
Four NXP i.MX processor families, from the i.MX 8M for displays and HMIs to the i.MX 94 for industrial networking, with the boards we build around each. Pick the chip that fits the AI load, the real-time control and the network, then the SBC or motherboard it goes on.
NXP i.MX 6Quad and 6DualLite Boards
The i.MX 6 family runs Cortex-A9 cores with 2D and 3D graphics and hardware video, and has shipped in point-of-sale terminals, HMIs and industrial displays for more than a decade. The quad-core 6Quad and dual-core 6DualLite suit long-life products that keep an existing Linux or Android stack, and the single-core Cortex-A7 6UL and 6ULL run low-power IoT gateways.

NXP i.MX 8M, 8M Mini and 8M Nano Boards
The i.MX 8M family covers three processors on Cortex-A53 cores with a Cortex-M real-time core: the i.MX 8M with 4K HDR video and HDMI, the i.MX 8M Mini for 1080p displays at lower power, and the i.MX 8M Nano for cost-sensitive HMIs. All three are widely used in industrial displays, audio and control panels.

02 Guides
NXP and Arm Guides
Longer reads from our engineers on Arm processors, SoCs and NPUs, and how they are chosen for industrial edge systems.
Arm Processors in Embedded and Industrial Systems
Arm is the architecture behind most low-power embedded computing — but "Arm" is not a chipmaker. This guide explains what Arm actually is, the Cortex profiles, why it suits embedded systems, and what to check when you specify one.
x86 vs Arm: Architectures Compared for Industrial and Embedded Systems
x86 and Arm are the two processor architectures behind almost every industrial and embedded computer. Choosing between them is the first real decision in a design — it shapes performance, power, thermals, software and how the system is built.
What Is a System on Chip (SoC)?
A system-on-chip packs the CPU, graphics, memory controller, I/O and often an AI accelerator onto one chip. It is how most compact, low-power embedded computers are built — and the norm for Arm platforms.
What Is an NPU? Neural Processing Units for Edge AI
An NPU is a dedicated AI accelerator built into a processor to run machine-learning inference efficiently. It is the hardware behind on-device AI — now across Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen AI and NVIDIA Jetson.
CPU Generations and Embedded Processors Explained
For a consumer PC, the CPU generation is shorthand for speed. For an industrial system it tells you far more — and the newest is rarely the right answer.
