Last March<\/a>, Gateworks introduced the Catalina SBC family, starting with the GW9200 board, based on NXP i.MX 95 SoC for industrial Edge AI applications, and featuring Flexible Socket Adapter (FSA) sockets to accommodate either mini PCIe or M.2 module adapters, depending on requirements.<\/p>\n

We missed the original announcement, but the new SBC family was brought to our attention when Ezurio announced the acquisition of Gateworks<\/a> last week. The GW9200 board comprises a system-on-module with the NXP i.MX 95 chip, 4GB LPDDR5 and 8GB eMMC flash by default, as well as a carrier board with 10GbE and GbE RJ45 ports, a MIPI DSI\/CSI display\/camera interface, two FSA sockets for M.2 or mini PCIe expansion, and a range of I\/Os.<\/p>\n

The company provides support for Linux (Ubuntu, Buildroot, and more), and the GW11059 development kit with the board itself, a JTAG programmer, a power supply, and relevant cables. Check out the software documentation website<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

The FSA (Flexible Socket Adapter)<\/a> is an interesting concept, as customers can select whether to use M.2 or mini PCIe sockets during configuration or production to meet their specific requirements. I could not find any photos of the FSA connector, but we\u2019re told that the \u201cmating connector between the FSA and the SBC is very fine pitched\u201d and \u201conly rated for 30 mating cycles maximum\u201d. Four FSA to M.2\/mini PCIe are available:<\/p>\n

GW16FE0 \u2013 FSA to M.2 E Key (WiFi)
\nGW16FB0 \u2013 FSA to M.2 B Key (Modems)
\nGW16FM0 \u2013 FSA to M.2 M Key (NVME)
\nGW16FP0 \u2013 FSA to Mini-PCIe<\/p>\n

The GW6200 comes with two FSA sockets, but the upcoming, larger GW6400 (160 x 100 mm) SBC will feature four FSA sockets.<\/p>\n

Gateworks\/Ezurio says the GW6200 SBC is available now, and the larger GW6400 board is shown as being planned for Q2 2026 (about now).\u00a0 There\u2019s no public pricing, and interested parties are asked to \u201crequest a quote\u201d.
