Overview
The TX Mainboard-7 Devkit + TXMP-1571 is the Ka-Ro STM32MP157C SIMM-CoM development platform. Dual Cortex-A7 with integrated Cortex-M4 real-time core and the STM32 mixed-signal I/O ecosystem — pre-mounted on the TX Mainboard-7 carrier. Ideal for industrial control, motor drives and Industry 4.0 gateways.
What's in the Box
TX Mainboard-7 Carrier
2× USB host, USB-OTG, Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232/485, CAN, micro-SD, dual TTL/LVDS display headers, audio I²S and a 40-pin extension header.
TXMP-1571 Module
Pre-mounted on the carrier with heat-spreader fitted. Snaps into the DIMM200 socket — swap to any other Ka-Ro TX module. STM32MP157C ready out of the box.
Power & Cables
12 V / 3 A power supply (EU + UK + US plugs included), USB-serial debug adapter and cable.
Software & Support

TX Mainboard-7 Baseboard Features
Why this Kit?
One Carrier, Every TX Module
The DIMM200 socket on TX Mainboard-7 accepts every Ka-Ro TX module — i.MX 93, i.MX 91, i.MX 8M Plus, RZ/G2L, STM32MP and more. Validate one application across the entire family on the same hardware.
Headless & Display Ready
Boots straight to a serial console out of the box. Add the optional 10.1″ touch display via the Mainboard-7 LVDS connector when you need an HMI.
Production-Grade Connectivity
Industrial-grade RS-232/485, CAN, Gigabit Ethernet, USB host/OTG and audio — exercise the full peripheral set you will use in production.
Made in Germany
TX Mainboard-7 and TX-family modules are designed and manufactured by Ka-Ro Electronics. 12-month warranty and 10+ year availability commitment.
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.
