Overview#

The i.MX 95 EVK (IMX95LPD5EVK-19) board is a platform designed to show the most commonly used features of the i.MX 95 automotive applications processor. It is an entry-level development board, which helps developers to get familiar with the processor before investing a large amount of resources in more specific designs. The i.MX95 device on the board comes in a compact 19 x 19 mm package.
