+title: Deploy a machine learning model to an NPU-capable system with Topo
+
+draft: true
+cascade:
+    draft: true
+
+description: Use Topo to deploy a web application on Cortex-A that triggers a MobileNetV2 image classifier running as Cortex-M firmware with Ethos-U65 NPU acceleration.
+
+minutes_to_complete: 60
+
+who_is_this_for: This is an introductory topic for embedded, edge, and cloud software developers who want to deploy machine learning workloads to heterogeneous Arm-based Linux targets using Topo.
+
+learning_objectives:
+    - Explain how Topo deploys an application that spans Cortex-A, Cortex-M, and Ethos-U
+    - Prepare an NXP FRDM i.MX 93 board for remoteproc-runtime and shared-memory inference
+    - Clone and deploy the topo-imx93-npu-deployment template
+    - Describe how the Template is bootstrapped from Compose services, Remoteproc Runtime metadata, and Topo arguments
+    - Run image classification from a browser and verify that inference is executed by the Cortex-M33 firmware
+
+prerequisites:
+    - A host machine (x86 or Arm) with Linux, macOS, or Windows
+    - An NXP FRDM i.MX 93 target board accessible over SSH with root access
+    - Docker installed on the host and target. For installation steps, see [Install Docker](/install-guides/docker/).
+    - lscpu installed on the target (pre-installed on most Linux distributions)
+    - Topo installed on the host. For installation steps, see [Deploy containerized workloads to Arm-based Linux targets with Topo](/learning-paths/cross-platform/deploy-containerized-workloads-with-topo/).
+    - Basic familiarity with containers, SSH, and CLI tools
