KARO QS93 series is a SOM / CoM from KARO. SoC: NXP i.MX 93. Form factor: QS QFN 100pad (27 x 27 mm).
AI performance is 0.5 TOPS (INT8). Available configurations: 2GB memory and 8GB storage. Supported OS: Linux, Yocto, Debian, and FreeRTOS.
Intended applications include low-power IoT, industrial HMI, gateways, and industrial HMI / AR support. Variants with different memory capacity or temperature grade are also available. 9 other products use the same NXP i.MX 93, so you can compare by form factor and supplier.
What to check when selecting:
- TSN support. If deterministic communication is a requirement, check the number of supported ports and the switch configuration
Positive ONE provides technical support. We also handle carrier board design and contract development.

Configuration stage (implementation stage)
SOM implementation progresses in the order “module alone → mounted on a carrier board → enclosed”. The position of this product is shown below.
STEP 1
SOM only
System on Module
A core module that integrates the SoC, memory, and power supply. Used mounted on a carrier board.

→
STEP 2
SOM + carrier board
Carrier / SBC / Evaluation board
A working board that carries the SOM and brings out external I/O (Ethernet, USB, video, power, etc.). For evaluation and integration.
→
STEP 3
SOM + carrier board + enclosure
Box PC / AI BOX / Edge server
Finished units with the board housed in an enclosure, designed for heat dissipation, dust protection, and installation. They can be installed and put into mass production as-is.
This product is STEP 1 (SOM only). It can be mounted on a carrier board for STEP 2 and housed in an enclosure for STEP 3. Positive ONE can support you end to end, including carrier board design and enclosure integration (contract development).
