The conga-SMX95 is the first Arm-based module in congatec’s aReady.CoM range, which combines the company’s board development expertise with partners’ hardware or system integration to offer application-ready hardware and software blocks (e.g., OS, security, IoT connection and RT control) to reduce time-to-market.
According to congatec, the aReady.CoM module will enable developers to migrate to Arm technology. Modules in the aReady.CoM portfolio, which was announced at SPS in November last year, can be customised with application-ready software blocks on an individually configurable CoM.

There is also the option for OEMs to include a configured bootloader, installed and licensed operating systems such as Ubuntu or aReady-partner’s Kontron OS, a configured hypervisor for system consolidation and IoT software (called conga-connect)which integrates device management, setup and configuration of cyber-secure IIoT connectivity, and remote application management.
Basic security requirements are met, said congatec, which helps towards certification of customer applications according to IEC62443. There is also the potential for congatec to install customers’ application software, so that the module only has to be plugged into the carrier and can be booted immediately.
“Arm designs often require a higher initial integration effort compared to x86,” explains Martin Danzer, director product management at congatec. “Customers who have previously refrained from arm designs due to the higher complexity will find a design basis with the aReady Framework, with hardware and software that are ideally coordinated with each other.”
The CoM combines pre-integrated software stacks with the computing power, AI acceleration and secure real-time architecture of the i.MX 95 application processor in a standardised module.
