[[File:StarCB-6ULL-STD.png|center|700px]]
 
StarCB-6ULL-STD is a carrier board for the StarSOM-6ULL family of computer-on-modules, which are powered by NXP i.MX 6ULL application processors (ARM Cortex-A7). A carrier board, together with a System on Module (SoM), makes a complete development platform similar to SBC. The carrier board houses the most common interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, etc. A large variety of interfaces allows to use it as both a complete development platform or as a stand-alone end-product.
<br>The carrier board connects with the SoM via a board-to-board, low profile connectors.

=== Applications ===
* IoT Sensor Hubs
* Home Appliances
* IoT gateways
* Protocol converters
* Home Automation – Smart Home
* Point-of-sales (POS) terminals
* Cash Register
* 2D barcode scanners and printers
* Smart grid infrastructure
* Residential gateways
* Outdoor equipment
