Software, Documentation, and Pricing
The company provides code samples with an Arduino sketch running on their Seeeduino V4 board connected to a CAN Bus shield, and a Python script running Qt on the STM32MP1 SBC, as well as PDF schematics for both the baseboard and SoM, and documentation such as the pinout diagrams for all connectors and headers on Github. Note documentation is available both in Chinese and English, just click on the “EN” files to get the English versions. The board is supposed to run Linux, but I could not find OS images nor source code at the time of writing.
Seeed Studio is not selling ODYSSEY-STM32MP157C SBC directly on their own online store just yet, but we can find the board on Digikey and Mouser for around $27 for the SoM, and $58.5 for the SoM and baseboard. As I understand it, both companies refer to NPi-STM32MP157C as the SOM + baseboard kit instead of just the baseboard, and there’s no mention of ODYSSEY-STM32MP157C.
