Say goodbye to complicated setups. With the KSTR-IMX93, all you need to do is plug it into your computer via USB, open your favorite code editor, and start coding in Python. Whether you’re working on industrial automation, smart building systems, or edge AI applications, this board is built to streamline development from the start.
A Complete Wireless Platform for Professional IoT
The KSTR-IMX93 brings together every major communication standard in one Linux-capable single board computer. Built around NXP’s high-performance i.MX93 SoC and Nordic Semiconductor’s advanced wireless chipsets nRF5340, nRF9151, and nRF7002, it supports:
- Wi-Fi 6
- LTE-M / NB-IoT
- Bluetooth LE 5.4
- Zigbee, Thread, and Matter
- GNSS / GPS
- CAN-FD and Power-over-Ethernet
Instead of juggling multiple modules, drivers, and integration issues, everything is built into one platform - making it faster and simpler to move from idea to production.
Why It’s Different from Hobbyist Boards
Popular boards like the Raspberry Pi are great for experimenting, but they often hit limits when it’s time to build commercial IoT systems. They can lack reliable storage, advanced wireless options, industrial security features, or a consistent supply.
The KSTR-IMX93 solves all of these pain points:
- Unified connectivity (Wi-Fi, LTE-M, Thread, Zigbee, BLE, and more)
- Robust eMMC storage (up to 128 GB)
- NXP EdgeLock Secure Enclave for hardware-based security
- PoE and CAN-FD built in
- Long-term availability and full documentation
It’s designed for projects that need to go beyond the lab bench - without compromise.
Built for Flexibility and Efficiency
The board combines Arm Cortex-A55 cores for heavy tasks and a Cortex-M33 core for real-time operations. It also supports:
- Linux (Ubuntu, Yocto, Buildroot)
- Zephyr RTOS
- MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, USB-C OTG, Gigabit Ethernet
- Battery operation with charge and capacity monitoring
Its ultra-low power design allows it to run on PoE, USB-C, or battery, making it ideal for always-on sensors, portable healthcare gear, or remote monitoring nodes.
Security and Edge AI Capabilities
Security is built into the hardware, with secure boot, cryptography, trusted execution, and OTA update support. The optional Neural Processing Unit (0.5 TOPS) lets you run AI inference locally, powering use cases like predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and computer vision - all without relying on the cloud.
Raspberry Pi-Compatible, Ready for Scale
With a Pi-compatible GPIO header, you can use existing HATs and accessories to prototype quickly, then transition to production using the same board. This lets startups and makers leverage familiar tools while ensuring industrial reliability.
Real-World Applications
- Industrial automation: TSN Ethernet + CAN-FD for control systems, LTE-M for remote oversight.
- Smart buildings: Zigbee, Thread, and Matter for lighting, HVAC, and access systems.
- Healthcare: LTE-M and GNSS for secure patient monitoring.
- Automotive & research: From infotainment to academic innovation.
- IoT monitoring & sensor networks: Built-in mesh and cellular options for remote data collection.
- Edge AI: On-board inference for vision, maintenance, and more.
Backed by Real Experience
We’re Conclusive Engineering, a team with years of experience building production-ready hardware and firmware for companies like SunPower and Alstom. We’ve contributed upstream to FreeBSD and built drivers for Nordic’s nRF700x Wi-Fi series. With the KSTR-IMX93, we’re combining everything we’ve learned into a single board you can trust - from early prototype to field deployment.
The KSTR-IMX93 bridges the gap between maker boards and industrial platforms, giving you all the tools to build smarter, faster, and at scale.
