SABRE Lite Development Board
The SABRE Lite development board is a low-cost development platform based on Freescale’s I.MX 6Quad ARM Cortex-A9 application processor which encompasses a quad-core platform running up to 1 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache and 64-bit DDR3 or 2-ch., 32-bit LPDDR2 support. Integrated FlexCAN, MLB busses, PCI Express® and SATA-2 provide excellent connectivity, while integration of LVDS, MIPI display port, MIPI camera port and HDMI v1.4 makes it an ideal platform for leading-edge consumer, automotive and industrial multimedia applications.
The SABRE Lite Board is measuring only 3.25 inch by 3.25 inch, it is a very compact board but takes full features of the I.MX6Quad processor. The board has integrated 1GByte of 64-bit wide DD3 and 2MByte SPI Flash and brought out a number of interfaces for peripheral connecting, such as serial ports, USB, Ethernet, CAN, SATA, RGB, LVDS, HDMI, Audio, Camera, I2C, SD Card, JTAG and etc.
The SABRE Lite Development Kit includes one SABRE Lite board, one 5V power adapter, one customized serial cable, one cross serial cable (DB9-DB9), one USB cable, one net cable and one 4GByte micro SD card to help customer quickly start their development when getting the goods. The board is a ready-to-run platform with ported Linux 3.0.15 or Android 4.0.4.
