Variscite and MemryX Inc. have established a collaboration to enhance AI/ML edge computing by combining scalable AI acceleration with proven System on Module solutions. This integration addresses the needs of industries requiring real-time processing, including industrial systems, healthcare devices, and vision applications.
MemryX’s integrated hardware and complementary software allow developers to build edge AI applications with enhanced performance characteristics like low latency processing and efficient power consumption while accelerating development cycles and time to market.
The collaboration launched with a plug-and-play integration of the MemryX platform with Variscite’s i.MX 8M Plus SoMs, leveraging their advanced vision and multimedia features, such as dual camera interfaces, integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP), and H.265/H.264 video encoding and 1080p60 decoding. This provides an ideal combined solution for developing vision-based applications like real-time object detection and video analytics. The collaboration will also extend across Variscite’s extensive SoM portfolio, including modules based on the i.MX 9 and i.MX 8 series.

At Embedded World 2026, Pierluigi Passaro, Variscite’s R&D expert, spoke with Robert Thompson from NXP to discuss two forces accelerating a shift already well underway in embedded product development: ongoing component supply chain pressures and the Cyber Security Resilience Act. As long-standing development partners, Variscite and NXP continue to advance their collaboration around the i.MX 9 processor family – helping product teams reduce complexity and bring differentiated products to market faster.
