Embedded systems development usually starts with a little experimentation, many vendors provide that starting point for the i.MX8 platform. A carrier board (base board) is used in conjunction with a System on Module (SoM) to expose / unlock the key features of the platform; key resources such as multimedia interfaces (USB, Ethernet, HDMI, camera ports) can commonly be found in the carrier board which connects with the SoM via standard connectors like SODIMM or MXM. Below, the user will find a table enumerating vendors that have decided to support the i.MX8 families and flavors and hence have also, in some cases, provided corresponding carrier boards for their SoMs.

RidgeRun provides tailored solutions to the customer's needs, do not hesitate to contact us for help speeding up / developing your product based on any of the large number of products that rely on the i.MX8 and its families.
