Empower your development process for i.MX Applications Processors, with GoPoint, a user-centric
platform designed to
unlock the potential of NXP’s i.MX microprocessors. With its extensive library of interactive demos and robust
technical
support, GoPoint helps developers innovate faster and smarter.
In the fast-paced world of embedded systems, time is often the most valuable resource for developers. Formerly known
as
the NXP Demo Experience, GoPoint redefines the evaluation and exploration process, enabling developers to quickly
assess
the capabilities of i.MX SoCs for their next-generation projects.
GoPoint is an all-in-one interface that connects developers to application-specific demos for i.MX processors. It
highlights advanced features while providing practical solutions for implementation. Available on Linux and Debian
operating systems, GoPoint ensures an excellent out-of-the-box experience for developers at all stages of their
projects. GoPoint demos are also available with the FRDM i.MX 93 development board and provide developers
with the FRDM to Innovate at the edge.

GoPoint for Applications Processors Key Features
Extensive Collection of Pre-Built Demos
GoPoint offers a comprehensive library of demos showcasing diverse
functionalities, from computer vision and low-power audio processing to industrial automation and smart fitness.
Each
demo highlights specific features of i.MX Applications Processors, helping developers visualize real-world use
cases.
Access to Source Code and Documentation
Each demo includes open source code and detailed documentation accessible
through GitHub and Application Code Hub. This transparency allows developers to modify and adapt examples to meet
their
unique needs, fostering flexibility and customization.
Step-by-Step Implementation Guidance
Whether you’re configuring an edge AI application or exploring secure boot
functionality, GoPoint’s user guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to
simplify product feature
evaluation.
Intuitive Interface
Designed with developers in mind, GoPoint features an intuitive interface, ensuring easy
navigation and usability for all skill levels.
Continuous Improvement
GoPoint is part of NXP’s i.MX Yocto Linux releases. Its demos are rigorously tested and
updated
quarterly, with each BSP release introducing new features and demos for different i.MX product families.
Example Use Case: Edge AI for Smart Video Surveillance
Imagine you’re developing an edge AI solution for a smart video surveillance system. With GoPoint, you can explore
the
"Object Detection with NPU" demo, which showcases the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capabilities of i.MX application
processors.
Figure 2: Screen capture of Object Detection demo, available on GoPoint.
This demo walks you through:
- Running object detection models on the i.MX platform to detect items from the Common Objects in Context (COCO)
dataset
- Leveraging preintegrated ML frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite or ONNX to accelerate development
- Accessing pretrained models and deployment workflows directly through GitHub for faster prototyping
This demo not only evaluates the system-on-chip (SoC) but also provides a reference design to kickstart your product
development. GoPoint aims to support faster time to market for developers by offering practical solutions tailored
to
real-world applications.
