1 MCIMX93-EVK overview
The i.MX 93 Evaluation Kit (MCIMX93-EVK board) is a platform designed to show the most commonly used
features of the i.MX 93 Applications Processor in a small and low-cost package. The MCIMX93-EVK board 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.
MCIMX93-EVK is assembled with two separate boards:
•MCIMX93-SOM: Referred to as "SOM board" in this document
•MCIMX93-BB: Referred to as "Base board" in this document
This document includes system setup and configurations, and provides detailed information on the overall
design and usage of the EVK board from a hardware system perspective.
