The starter kit is assembled as a miniature multi-layer "Cube". This "Cube", when assembled together, presents an i.MX 8M Mini-based embedded computer with MIPI-CSI2 vision, composed of the following stacked hardware modules:

• Emcraft i.MX 8M Mini System-On-Module (SOM), in the following configuration: i.MX 8M Mini Quad, 2GB LPDDR4, 16GB eMMC, WiFi/BT, Commercial Temp range. The SOM is an off-the-shelf embedded computer module, which comes pre-loaded with Linux, allowing for immediate development of mobile robotics applications.
• MEDIA board is a second board in the stack, which provides various UI, multimedia and I/O interfaces.
• Google Coral camera interfaces to the MEDIA board via 2-lane MIPI-CSI2 and I2C interfaces.
• HGI board is a third board in the stack, which provides additional connectivity and I/O interfaces, including with drone and rover interfaces defined by the PX4 standards.
