ADLINK I-Pi OSM IMX95: What the $595 Dev Kit Includes

ADLINK has a new way into NXP's i.MX95. The I-Pi OSM IMX95, detailed by LinuxGizmos on October 20, 2026, is a development kit built around a solder-down Open Standard Module rather than a traditional board-to-board connector. It is aimed at engineers prototyping industrial edge AI systems who want a path straight from dev kit to production hardware, and ADLINK backs the module family with a 15-year availability commitment.

• Price: $595 on the I-Pi store, currently sold out with a 6 to 8 week lead time for US and EU orders
• SoC: NXP i.MX95 with six Cortex-A55 cores, a Cortex-M7 and a Cortex-M33, a 2 TOPS eIQ Neutron NPU and a Mali-G310 GPU
• Memory and storage: 4GB soldered LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC, plus microSD
• Networking: two Gigabit Ethernet ports with Time-Sensitive Networking and two CAN FD interfaces

What Is the I-Pi OSM IMX95?

The kit combines ADLINK's OSM-IMX95 computer-on-module with its OSM-EB4 carrier board. The module follows the SGeT OSM 1.2 specification in the Size-L form factor, a compact 45 by 45mm package that solders directly onto a host board through an LGA footprint. Removing the connector saves height and cost and improves vibration resistance, which is why OSM modules are popular for rugged, high-volume products.

The carrier is a 4-inch EPIC board measuring 165 by 115mm with a 19V DC input. ADLINK lists shock and vibration testing to IEC 60068 and MIL-STD-202, with a standard 0 to 60°C operating range and an optional rugged build rated from -40 to 85°C.

What Can You Connect to the i.MX95 Dev Kit?

Plenty. For displays, the carrier offers HDMI, dual-channel LVDS and four-lane MIPI-DSI, while a four-lane MIPI-CSI connector handles cameras for vision projects that lean on the NPU. Audio comes from a TI TLV320 codec with a 3.5mm jack. USB includes two USB 3.0 hosts, two USB 2.0 hosts and a USB 2.0 OTG port, and an M.2 M-key slot provides PCIe Gen3 for NVMe storage or accelerators.

The expansion headers are generous for an industrial system-on-module kit: five UARTs, three SPI, two I2C, 14 GPIO, four PWM and two ADC channels. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are optional, and NXP's EdgeLock secure enclave plus Arm TrustZone cover security.

Software and Long-Term Support

ADLINK ships a Yocto Linux BSP based on the Scarthgap release with Linux kernel 6.6 and Wayland, plus a downloadable image, a bootloader for NXP's UUU flashing tool, and source on GitHub. LinuxGizmos also notes Foundries.io Linux microPlatform support for the module.

Who Is the ADLINK Kit For?

At $595 this is not a hobbyist board. It is a reference platform for teams designing factory controllers, robotics, smart retail or vehicle systems, where TSN Ethernet, CAN FD and a guaranteed long supply life matter more than price. If you want a lower-cost way to explore the same chip, NXP's own FRDM i.MX95 development board is a good comparison point. Browse more embedded hardware in our mini computers coverage.
