Overview

The Advantech AOM-2521 is a high-performance OSM 1.2 Computer-on-Module designed for demanding embedded applications requiring powerful processing, AI acceleration, and extensive connectivity in a compact form factor. Built on the NXP i.MX 95 system-on-chip, this module features a six-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor operating at up to 2.0 GHz, paired with dedicated Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M33 real-time processing cores for heterogeneous computing workloads. The integrated neural network accelerator enables edge AI and machine learning inference directly on the module, while the 2D/3D graphics engine supports OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan, and OpenCL 1.2 for advanced visualization requirements. Memory specifications include 8GB of high-speed LPDDR5 running at 6400MT/s for demanding data processing tasks, complemented by 16GB eMMC flash storage for the operating system and 8MB QSPI NOR flash for board configuration. The module offers exceptional connectivity options including one 10GbE USXGMII port and two Gigabit Ethernet RGMII interfaces, dual PCIe 3.0 lanes, USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports, five UART interfaces, five I2C buses, two CAN-FD channels, and GPIO pins. Display capabilities include 4-lane MIPI-DSI output and dual-channel LVDS support, with provisions for DSI-to-HDMI conversion on carrier boards. Dual 4-lane MIPI-CSI camera inputs enable machine vision applications. The OSM Size-L symmetric LGA package measuring just 45 x 45mm allows integration into space-constrained designs while supporting industrial temperature ranges from -40 to 85°C. Yocto Linux BSP support, reference schematics, and comprehensive development documentation accelerate time-to-market for factory automation, robotics, smart transportation, medical devices, and IoT gateway applications.
