i.MX Applications Processors Evaluation Kit (EVK) for the i.MX51 Applications Processor Price. Performance. Personality. Overview • Investigate usage of the video and graphics Software and hardware engineers can also Freescale delivers the cost-effective i.MX51 through the hardware accelerated video download this code to the target EVK to test evaluation kit, allowing customers to develop, processing unit, OpenGL ES 2.0 and and validate their software and to run and debug and demonstrate their next great product OpenVGTM 1.1 graphics processing units evaluate performance metrics. The ability to without compromising performance. As part ® • Develop with the MC13892 power have all communications ports working (serial, of our new price, performance and personality management chip from Freescale that USB) and to debug over JTAG and Ethernet is series, the evaluation kit is designed to support supports power sequencing of the i.MX51 essential for product development. The EVK all the features of the device in a small, single- device and output rails to supply power to also provides boot select switches, which board design to enable designers to complete external components such as memories and provide the user with the option to override a development platform at a low price point of other system peripherals the default boot setting of the CPU. less than an estimated $700USD. The i.MX51 EVK has two optional add-on modules: an LCD module and an expansion board which includes a camera, TV out, keypad and UART. Based on a powerful ARM Cortex™ -A8 core, the i.MX51 EVK delivers extreme performance and low power consumption, helping developers design products that meet today’s demands for energy efficiency. A range of connectivity options makes the i.MX51 EVK suitable for developing many different types of user applications. The provided board support packages (BSP) for Linux® OS and Windows® Embedded CE enable rapid prototyping which helps to speed up the processor selection process and quickly deliver a demo into the hands of the project stakeholders. The i.MX51 EVK includes two SD cards: one pre-loaded with Linux and the other with Windows Embedded CE. Both options support a wide range of automotive, consumer, • Use proven design examples and software drivers to reduce hassles associated with design-in of key connectivity and power management options • Enable rapid prototyping of human-machine interfaces (HMI) via the on-board digital visual interface (DVI) peripheral that allows the EVK to interface to a standard PC monitor • Boot from SD, SPI or NAND flash Personality Freescale’s EVK for the i.MX51 applications processor allows designers to quickly prototype and demonstrate the results of their development efforts in a small, portable design the size of a 5 x 5 portrait, giving confidence to project decision makers that the product is that much closer to production. Develop user-interactive software and display your product-specific graphical data on a high-quality, touch screen-enabled Performance 7" WVGA LCD available as an add-on module With the i.MX51 EVK, designers have access to to the EVK. Connect additional input and output key features needed for an end design offering peripherals such as a camera, TV out, keypad hardware functionality and connectivity required and UART with the expansion board add- for developing many applications, such as on module. With the Freescale i.MX51 EVK, portable media players, mobile Internet devices, prototyping and development are simplified to smartbooks, gaming consoles, ebooks, improve time to market. media phones, digital photo frames, high-end appliances, video and navigation, security and i.MX51 EVK Key Features surveillance, medical and factory automation.
