General description
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.
The carrier board connects with the SoM via a board-to-board, low profile connectors.
