Introduction  

This user guide describes the 30mmx30mm SoM form factor module - OSM-S i.MX8M Mini . The Advanced RISC Ma-

chines (ARM) based module is equipped with NXP i.MX8M Mini processor. The quad core SoC takes advantage of the 
optimized power consumption and performance ratio.

 

The use of this user guide implies a basic knowledge of PC hardware and software. This user guide is focused on de-
scribing the special features and is not intended to be a standard PC textbook. New users are recommended to study 
the short installation procedure, before switching on the power.  

All configuration and setup of the module is performed using the u-Boot CLI.  

Latest revision of this user guide, datasheet, and BSPs (Board Support Packages) can be downloaded from Kontron 
Electronics Web Page.
