- Many communication interfaces, including M.2
- Reference design for custom carrier boards
- Included in iMX Developer's Kit V2
The COM Carrier board is a reference design for custom carrier boards using Embedded Artists COM boards.
Updated Carrier board design – V2
This is the second generation reference design with several enhancements of features and usability:
- Support for i.MX8 designs
- Support for M.2 Key E interface (typically Wi-Fi/BT), including advanced debug features developed in cooperation with Murata and Cypress
- Support for M.2 Key B interface (typically Cellular/SSD)
- Support for USB 3.0
- Updated power supply design
- Direct support for New Haven LVDS display
- Access to all audio codec interfaces
- Expansion board for easy prototyping
Many RF solutions
The on-board connectors such as M.2 (both E-key and B-key), SDIO, XBee makes it simple to add RF solutions. Our family of Wi-Fi/BT M.2 modules (based on Murata modules) are directly supported.
Display solutions
It is easy to add a display to the carrier board using the COM Display Adapter. See the page Display Solutions for COM boards for more details about how to add a display.
