Overview
QSBASE93 Evalkit
The QSBASE93 Evalkit is a ready-to-use evaluation and development kit for Ka-Ro's QS Family solder-down modules. It ships with the QSMP-1570 module pre-installed, featuring an STM32MP157C processor with dual Cortex-A7 cores at 650 MHz, 512MB DDR3L RAM, and 4GB eMMC. The compact baseboard (60mm x 90mm) provides Gigabit Ethernet, USB Host, micro SD card socket, an RGB display interface, and debug UART -- everything needed to begin software development and hardware prototyping immediately. Built on a simple 2-layer, single-sided PCB, the baseboard also serves as a reference design, with all 100 QSMP module pins accessible on 0.1" pitch solder pads for easy probing and expansion.
