aReady.COM conga-SMX95 optimizes time-to-market and expands usage potential

congatec extends aReady.COM to Arm based modules – application-ready hardware and software building blocks, complete with OS, system consolidation, and IoT connectivity for value-generating applications based on NXP i.MX 95 applications processor

congatec – the leading provider of embedded and edge computing technology – is extending its portfolio of application-ready aReady. software building blocks to include Arm-based Computer-on-Modules. The first product in this expansion is the successful SMARC module conga-SMX95, based on NXP® Semiconductors’ i.MX 95 applications processors. With application-ready hardware and software building blocks – including OS, system consolidation, and IoT connectivity – the new aReady.COM enables OEMs to bring value-generating applications to market faster. By also addressing the high variability of Arm designs, congatec significantly reduces software bring-up complexity for OEMs. This will simplify the transition to Arm technology for many developers who previously avoided using Arm processors.

“Compared to x86, Arm designs often require greater initial integration effort, but offer higher efficiency,” explains Martin Danzer, Director Product Management at congatec. “With aReady.COM for Arm based on the NXP i.MX 95 applications processor, we provide our customers with tangible value adds that accelerate time-to-dollar and maximize the business impact of their applications, enabling them to serve their addressable markets more effectively. Preconfigured, installed, and licensed core functions and software for operation, system consolidation, and IoT connectivity make the congatec module a highly efficient solution. Customers who previously avoided Arm designs due to their complexity can now leverage the aReady framework as a design foundation with optimally coordinated hardware and software.”
