MXT OSM 1.2 to SMARC Adapter – Module Integration & Evaluation
Interface Adapter / Development Accessory for OSM-to-SMARC Integration
The MXT OSM 1.2 to SMARC Adapter provides a seamless bridge between MXT’s new generation of OSM 1.2 modules and standard SMARC 2.1 carrier boards. Designed for rapid evaluation, compatibility testing and early prototyping, it enables developers to integrate compact OSM modules into full-featured SMARC environments — combining flexibility with hardware reuse. The adapter simplifies mixed-platform development, allowing engineers to validate software, measure performance, and accelerate design-in of OSM 2.0 solutions without needing custom carriers.
Key Highlights
OSM 1.2 to SMARC 2.1 electrical interface adapter – fully compliant with both standards, allowing OSM modules to plug directly into existing MXT SMARC carriers.
Universal compatibility: supports MXT OSM Modules based on Renesas RZ/G, RZ/V and STM32MP families.
Optimized signal routing for high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB 3.0, Ethernet, MIPI-DSI/CSI and memory buses.
Plug-and-play evaluation: instantly transforms any SMARC carrier into an OSM-module testbed, reducing development time and cost.
Compact mechanical design: minimal stack height and rigid construction for reliable connection and repeated testing cycles.
Integrated power management: level-shifting and voltage translation ensuring safe, stable interoperability between OSM and SMARC domains.
Development friendly: labeled connectors, test pads and reference schematics to support education, debugging and evaluation workflows.
Applications
- Evaluation of MXT OSM 2.0 modules using existing SMARC carrier boards.
- Early hardware and firmware validation before dedicated OSM carriers are available.
- Mixed-form-factor prototyping in R&D and educational environments.
- Quick benchmarking and interoperability testing between OSM and SMARC ecosystems.
- OEM and integrator demonstrations where fast module interchangeability is needed.
Key Highlights
The adapter is supported by MXT’s unified BSP and SDK environment, ensuring seamless module detection and peripheral operation. Developers can use standard Linux/Yocto images, debug tools and configuration scripts originally designed for SMARC carriers — enabling immediate cross-platform evaluation without additional hardware customization.
MXT can tailor adapter configurations to specific needs: additional debug connectors, mechanical stacking variants, signal access headers or extended voltage ranges. Engineering documentation, 3D CAD data and integration support are available for OEMs and academic partners developing hybrid OSM-SMARC systems.
Manufactured to MXT’s industrial quality standards, the adapter complies with CE, RoHS requirements. It’s designed for repetitive lab use and long-term reliability in development and test environments.
