Development Kit

Built for AI Vision at the Industrial Edge

Start with the VEST i.MX95 SMARC platform and select the accelerator path that fits your model, power envelope, software stack, and deployment target. The kit is suited for camera-rich products where Linux application logic, real-time control, networking, and neural inference need to live in one embedded system.

NXP i.MX95 application processor. Arm Cortex-A55 application cores, integrated safety and security features, and graphics/video capabilities for edge systems.

SMARC development workflow. Prototype on a development carrier, then carry the software and module strategy toward production hardware.

AI accelerator choices. Configure evaluation around Hailo-8, DEEPX DX-M1, or NXP Ara240 to compare real application behavior on target hardware.

Traffic-ready resource hub. Demo videos, product references, and article links are collected here so developers researching Edge AI can find the VEST kit faster.
