One of the highlights is the Verdin iMX8M Plus system-on module . This is one of Toradex's first modules to feature a Neural Processing Unit dedicated to AI processing.

“We believe Toradex is the partner of choice for customers looking to accelerate edge AI-based solutions.Verdin iMX8M Plus is the first to feature a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) core that is fully compatible with TFLite. Toradex's mission is to make embedded computing easy. Customers can simply set up their AI solution, try out Toradex hardware, and take advantage of Toradex's extensive documentation.And for customers looking for even more performance, a pin-compatible version will be released soon. With the Verdin iMX95, we are committed to applying what we learned from the Verdin iMX8M Plus,” said Alvaro Garcia, President of Toradex Japan K.K.

Demonstrating Toradex's commitment to making embedded computing easy, Japan IT Week will deliver four exciting elements .

1. MASS LED-AI, equipped with Verdin iMX8M Plus
LED-AI is a "LED lighting equipped with real-time security camera" security camera provided by MASS Co., Ltd.
You can easily install a security camera without worrying about where to install it and without any construction work, reducing costs.
Real-time viewing is possible with LTE/Wi-Fi double connection. It also has collaboration with various sensors and AI analysis functions, making it useful not only for crime prevention, but also for immediate response and cause investigation when trouble occurs.
Please experience the "LED-AI" that we were involved in developing and manufacturing.
We provide one-stop support from development to prototyping and mass production, including the "LED-AI" we will be exhibiting.

NXP® i.MX 8M Plus SoC

Up to 4 Cortex-A53 @ 1.8GHz
2.3 Achieving high performance machine learning with TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU)
Equipped with image signal processor (IPS)
OTA update possible

2. Partnership with Axell
“Toradex has been working with Axell over the past few months and Axell was able to port Axell’s great Alia TFLite model to the Verdin iMX8M Plus fairly quickly. We have also successfully ported it to Torizon OS and Torizon Cloud, which means that anyone can download containers by Ailia.Containers have great strengths as a great deployment and maintenance tool. I think as a software engineer. We will be doing a demo to showcase the integration of the Ailia model with the Torizon solution, with remote update and remote access capabilities," said Alvaro Garcia.

“By combining Axell's software expertise with the Toradex Verdin i.MX8M Plus, anyone developing their own AI applications now has a simple, easy-to-use, connected industrial solution. ” said Alvaro.

3. Release of i.MX95 Verdin EVK and strong partnership as NXP Platinum Partner
“Toradex is one of only a few NXP Platinum Partners in the world. Most recently, Toradex has partnered with NXP to develop NXP’s official evaluation kit for the i.MX95. This is a testament to the trust that our many partners and customers in the industry place in Toradex, and we hope to continue this success in Japan,” said Alvaro .

Toradex plans to release Verdin iMX95 in 2025. Compatible with the Toradex i.MX95 Verdin Evaluation Kit and currently in early access .

4. New SoM family, Aquila released: Aquila AM69
The new product is Toradex's latest system-on-module, the Aquila AM69. The just-announced Aquila family of SoMs is powered by the TI AM69 system-on-chip (SoC) , known for its exceptional performance and reliability .

"Toradex never rests! Just four years after releasing the mid-range family Verdin , Toradex is aiming even further with the Aquila . The Aquila AM69 is powered by TI's AM69 ” said Alvaro.
