Premier Farnell is supplying the MCIMX6Q-SL development kit built to Freescale Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) Lite design, and featuring the powerful i.MX 6Quad applications processor.
Based on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture, the i.MX 6Quad’s four processing cores operate at 1 GHz and provide powerful multi-stream video processing for applications requiring high-performance graphics and UI capability.
Targeted at multimedia and infotainment applications, the development kit provides a comprehensive solution including the development hardware and the LinuxLink for i.MX 6 BSP software and kernel from TimeSys.
The MCIMX6Q-SL is specifically designed to enable application development for smart devices for consumer, industrial and automotive markets. The standard hardware includes 1 GB of 64-bit wide DDR memory, three display ports, two camera ports and high-speed USB and Ethernet connections. The board delivers 1080p60 video output and can present 3D video playback.
The LinuxLink framework gives designers access to an integrated board support package (BSP) that enables software application development for the i.MX 6 processor. The LinuxLink Free Edition for Freescale SABRE Lite Design is included with this board and provides a kernel, toolchain and debugger, a free software development kit to jumpstart application development and demo code for an out-of-the-box Linux experience.
The package also includes 30-day access to TimeStorm IDE for application development and first line technical support from Timesys.
