The SECO DEV-KIT-SMARC with manufacturer part number KTDV-SM-B79.00 is a SMARC cross-platform development kit featuring the CSM-B79 carrier board for bringing up SMARC-compatible modules.

DEV-KIT-SMARC Overview

The kit is aimed at developers who want to evaluate and commission SMARC 2.0, 2.1 and 2.1.1 modules. According to the manufacturer, the package includes the CSM-B79 carrier board, serial adapter cables, a SATA power cable, a main power adapter cable, a certified DisplayPort 1.4 cable, a certified HDMI 2.0 cable, a DP-to-HDMI adapter and an eDP cable. The SMARC module itself is not included and must be purchased separately.

Configuration & Features

• CSM-B79 carrier board in microATX form factor (243.84 x 243.84 mm)
• Networking: up to 2x dual RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet, M.2 socket 2230 Key E for WiFi modules and M.2 2260/3042 Key B for WWAN modem modules with an onboard microSIM slot
• USB: 1x USB 3.0 Type A, 1x USB 2.0 Type A, 1x USB OTG micro-AB and 1x USB 3.1 Type-C
• Mass storage: SATA M 7p connector with dedicated power, interface shared with M.2 socket 2230/2242/2260 Key B, plus a microSD card slot
• PCIe x4 slot, interface shared with the M.2 slots
• Serial interfaces: 2x CAN, 2x configurable RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 and 2x TTL serial on the feature pin header
• Power supply via Mini-Fit Jr 2x2 connector or USB Type-C (9–24V) or via a 2/3/4-cell smart battery connector (6–17V)

Typical Applications

The development kit supports evaluation of SMARC modules within Carrier & Development Boards as well as projects built around System-on-Modules (SOM/CoM) based on the SMARC standard.

Note for Development

According to the manufacturer, the carrier board's operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C (industrial range); the actual allowable system temperature depends on the installed SMARC module and must be checked per module. The matching SMARC module is not part of the kit and must be ordered separately. For design-in support, sample requests and project pricing, please reach out via our contact page.
