Overview
The TX Mainboard-7 Devkit + TX93-5210 is a turn-key headless Linux development platform built around the Ka-Ro NXP i.MX 93 SIMM-CoM. Power up over 12 V, connect serial, and you are at a Yocto-Linux prompt within seconds. The TX Mainboard-7 carrier accepts every Ka-Ro TX module via a DIMM200 socket — validate on TX93 today and re-use the entire carrier design for TX91, TX8P or TXRZ tomorrow.
What's in the Box
TX Mainboard-7 Carrier
