Variscite VAR-SOM-MX93 (low-power configuration) is a SOM / CoM from Variscite. SoC: NXP i.MX 93. Form factor: SODIMM 200-pin (67.6 x 37 mm).
AI performance is 0.5 TOPS (INT8). Available configurations: 1GB memory and 16GB storage. Supported OS: Linux, Yocto, Debian, and FreeRTOS.
Intended applications include low-power IoT, industrial HMI, gateways, and industrial HMI / AR support. 9 other products use the same NXP i.MX 93, so you can compare by form factor and supplier.
What to check when selecting:
TSN support. If deterministic communication is a requirement, check the number of supported ports and the switch configuration
Positive ONE provides technical support. We also handle carrier board design and contract development.
We welcome inquiries about technical specifications, pricing, lead time, and evaluation unit loans. We also handle carrier board design and contract development.
SOM implementation progresses in the order “module alone → mounted on a carrier board → enclosed”. The position of this product is shown below.
STEP 1
SOM only
System on Module
A core module that integrates the SoC, memory, and power supply. Used mounted on a carrier board.

→
STEP 2
SOM + carrier board
Carrier / SBC / Evaluation board
A working board that carries the SOM and brings out external I/O (Ethernet, USB, video, power, etc.). For evaluation and integration.
→
STEP 3
SOM + carrier board + enclosure
Box PC / AI BOX / Edge server
Finished units with the board housed in an enclosure, designed for heat dissipation, dust protection, and installation. They can be installed and put into mass production as-is.
This product is STEP 1 (SOM only). It can be mounted on a carrier board for STEP 2 and housed in an enclosure for STEP 3. Positive ONE can support you end to end, including carrier board design and enclosure integration (contract development).

If you are considering adoption
We provide end-to-end support from product selection to carrier board design, Linux BSP, bring-up, and mass-production rollout. We also lend evaluation units and conduct design reviews.
Because this product supports Linux, you can directly connect the driverless USB sensors distributed by Positive ONE. Measurement, I/O, and communication can be added later and handled with the same API from prototype to mass production.
