Overview
The QSBASE4 Eval Kit + QS8M-ND00 is the cost-optimised evaluation platform for the Ka-Ro NXP i.MX 8M Nano Dual System-on-Module. With dual Cortex-A53 cores at 1.5 GHz, integrated Cortex-M7 and 1 GB LPDDR4, the QS8M-ND00 covers cost-sensitive industrial gateways, IoT edge nodes and small-display HMIs — pre-fitted in the QSBASE4 socket and ready to boot.
What's in the Box
QSBASE4 Baseboard

QSBASE4 Baseboard Features
Why this Kit?
One Socket, Every Module
The 0.5 mm Hirose socket on QSBASE4 accepts every QS-family /SOCK module — i.MX 93, i.MX 91, STM32MP, RZ/G2L and more. Test multiple processors on the same baseboard.
Production Migration
Evaluate on this kit, then ship the same code base on the solder-down production module. No carrier-board re-spin, no software port.
Made in Germany
QSBASE4 and QS-family modules are designed and manufactured by Ka-Ro Electronics. 12-month warranty and 10+ year availability commitment.
Engineering Support
BSP support, design-package access and ikoniq engineering help included with every kit. Get unstuck without waiting on a forum.
Software & Support
Yocto-Linux BSP
Reference image based on Yocto kirkstone / scarthgap. Boots straight to a Linux console out of the box.
Mainline U-Boot + Linux Kernel
Long-term-supported sources, including Ka-Ro device-tree overlays and module-specific patches.
Schematics & Design Package
Full carrier-board schematics, gerbers and BOM available on request to support your own carrier design.
