MXT Carrier Board (Raspberry Pi Format) – Rapid Prototyping & Education
Carrier Board / Development Platform for SoM Modules & STEM Education
The MXT Carrier Board (Raspberry Pi Format) is a versatile and cost-effective carrier platform designed to accelerate embedded development, rapid prototyping, and educational programs. Compatible with MXT’s range of System-on-Modules (SoMs) and based on the widely adopted Raspberry Pi mechanical format, it enables fast, hands-on experimentation with advanced MPUs and MCUs from Renesas and STMicroelectronics. Its accessible layout, industry-standard interfaces and open documentation make it ideal for developers, startups, universities and research labs looking to shorten development cycles and foster innovation in embedded design.
Key Highlights
Raspberry Pi mechanical format (85 × 56 mm) — compatible with standard enclosures, HATs, and expansion boards.
Universal MXT SoM connector supporting multiple MXT modules (Renesas RZ/G & RZ/V, STM32MP series) for rapid evaluation and design-in.
Comprehensive I/O set: dual USB, Ethernet, camera MIPI-CSI, display MIPI-DSI, microSD, UART, I²C, SPI and GPIO headers — ready for prototyping or classroom use.
Expandable design: supports MXT extension boards, breadboard adapters and sensors for easy functional testing.
Industrial-grade power design: 5 V DC input via USB-C or header; onboard regulators with current protection and power-monitoring.
Optimized for learning and demonstration: labeled connectors, accessible test points and open reference schematics for educational use.
Supported by MXT training materials and lab kits — ideal for STEM programs, universities, and technical training centers.
Applications
- Rapid prototyping of industrial or consumer embedded solutions using MXT SoMs.
- STEM and university programs for teaching embedded systems, Linux, AI at the edge and IoT communication.
- Research and experimentation with multimedia, AI, and control applications.
- Evaluation and proof-of-concept development for OEMs integrating MXT SoMs into custom hardware.
- Demonstration and testing platform for academic competitions and innovation hubs.
Key Highlights
The MXT Carrier Board supports the full MXT BSP stack for each compatible SoM (Renesas RZ/G2L, RZ/V2L, STM32MP1/2 etc.), with ready-to-use images, drivers and sample code. MXT provides an SDK with example projects, tutorials, and support for open-source frameworks. For educational deployments, training documentation and courseware are available on request.
The board can be delivered as a standalone educational platform or customized for OEM evaluation: options include I/O variation, power input changes, mounting hole patterns or institutional branding. MXT’s engineering team offers schematic customization, firmware adaptation and production services for training or pilot-scale runs.
Built to industrial-grade standards using high-quality components. CE, RoHS compliant; designed for reliable operation in laboratory and light-industrial environments.
