Ronetix RNX-OSM-CARRIER v2.0 is a carrier board for development and mass-production test of Open Standard Module (OSM) v1.2 modules in sizes S, M and L. The module is clamped in an LGA662 socket, so it can be exchanged in seconds without soldering. Most module signals can be checked with loopback jumpers on the pin headers, and the USB debug console is powered from the USB cable, so the test log is captured from power-up. Pertech is a Ronetix distributor.
RNX-OSM-CARRIER v2.0 highlights
- LGA662 socket for OSM v1.2 modules, sizes S, M and L
- Swap modules in seconds, no soldering
- Built for development and mass-production testing
- Loopback test of UART, SPI, GPIO, CAN and ADC via jumpers on 2.54 mm headers
- USB-powered debug console captures the log from power-up
- JTAG/SWD 10-pin 1.27 mm connector for a debugger such as PEEDI
How the production test works
Insert an OSM module in the socket, close the clamp and power the board. Loopback jumpers on the 2.54 mm headers connect the module’s UART, SPI, GPIO, CAN and ADC pins back to themselves, so a test script on the module can check each interface. The USB debug console runs from USB power, so the whole boot log is recorded. Open the clamp and insert the next module: no soldering, no rework.
Where the RNX-OSM-CARRIER v2.0 fits
- Developing on OSM modules before committing to a soldered design
- Production test of OSM modules before they are soldered onto your board
- Comparing i.MX93, RZ/G2UL and RZ/V2N modules on one board
- Camera and display bring-up with Raspberry Pi CM4-style MIPI connectors

Frequently asked questions
What is the RNX-OSM-CARRIER v2.0?
It is a Ronetix carrier board with an LGA662 socket for OSM v1.2 modules, built for development and for production testing of modules.
What is the difference from the original RNX-OSM-CARRIER?
The original board uses an adapter board that the module is soldered onto. Version 2.0 uses a clamp socket, so modules are exchanged without soldering, and it adds production-test features such as loopback headers.
Which modules does it accept?
OSM v1.2 modules in sizes S, M and L, including the Ronetix RNX-iMX93-OSM, RNX-RZG2UL-OSM and RNX-RZV2N-OSM.
Can I debug the module over JTAG?
Yes. The board has a 10-pin 1.27 mm JTAG/SWD connector, which fits a debugger such as the Ronetix PEEDI.
Where can I buy the RNX-OSM-CARRIER v2.0 in Israel?
