MXT SMARC Carrier Board – Versatile Development Platform
Carrier Board / Development Base for SMARC System-on-Modules
The MXT SMARC Carrier Board is a modular, feature-rich development platform designed to accelerate prototyping, evaluation and product development using MXT’s family of SMARC-standard System-on-Modules (SoMs). Engineered for flexibility, this carrier provides a complete set of industrial, multimedia and connectivity interfaces — enabling developers to explore the full capabilities of MXT SoMs based on Renesas and STMicroelectronics MPUs. Its robust design, long-term component availability and scalable layout make it equally suited for laboratory testing, field evaluation or integration into low-volume industrial systems.
Key Highlights
SMARC 2.1 standard connector supporting MXT SMARC SoMs (RZ/G2L, RZ/V2L, RZ/V2M, RZ/V2MA, STM32MP2 and others).
Comprehensive I/O set: Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and 2.0, HDMI and MIPI-DSI display output, MIPI-CSI camera input, CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I²C and GPIO headers.
Expandable design: mini-PCIe and M.2 slots for wireless modules (Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, Bluetooth or SSD storage).
Robust power architecture: wide input range (9 – 36 V DC), reverse-polarity and over-current protection, industrial power connectors.
Multimedia ready: HDMI output and backlight control for display integration.
Rapid evaluation: plug-and-play operation with MXT SMARC SoMs, reducing integration time and enabling fast proof-of-concept development.
Applications
- Evaluation and reference design for MXT SMARC SoMs in industrial automation, IoT and multimedia projects.
- HMI and display development platform for Renesas RZ/G and RZ/V series MPUs.
- Smart gateway, edge AI or industrial control system prototyping.
- Research and university training environments focused on embedded computing.
- OEM testing and pilot production platforms for early system integration.
Key Highlights
MXT provides complete BSPs (Board Support Packages) for all supported SMARC modules, including ready-to-use device drivers, multimedia libraries and AI framework integration. Reference designs for Linux/Yocto, Debian and Android are maintained with long-term support and security updates. MXT SDK and sample projects accelerate application development and hardware validation.
The MXT SMARC Carrier Board can be customized to fit project requirements: specific I/O layouts, power inputs, mechanical mounting patterns or branding options. MXT’s engineering team offers firmware optimization, carrier-board adaptation and system integration services to help transition from prototype to series production.
Designed for industrial and laboratory use with CE, RoHS compliance. Components are selected for long availability and 24/7 operation reliability, making the board suitable for both development and deployment in industrial environments.
