The NXP i.MX 9 application processor paired with a Lattice Nexus FPGA delivers a flexible, power-efficient platform for demanding embedded applications. Connected via PCIe, the two devices form a high-bandwidth, low-latency pipeline that offloads real-time processing, sensor aggregation, and protocol bridging from the main CPU — freeing the i.MX 9 for application-layer tasks.
Lattice Nexus FPGAs bring instant-on capability, deterministic I/O control, and field-updatable logic to the design, while the i.MX 9 contributes a powerful Arm Cortex-A55 core, rich multimedia support, and a robust Linux/RTOS ecosystem. Together, they address the needs of industrial automation, machine vision, communications infrastructure, and smart edge devices where adaptability and efficiency are non-negotiable.
This solution page covers reference architectures, PCIe interface guidelines, power budgets, and development resources to help you move from concept to production quickly.
