i.MX Applications Processors
SABRE Board for Smart Devices
Based on the i.MX 6 Series
Overview
The Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) board for smart devices
was created to simplify product design by offering a feature-rich development platform that
allows developers to work with the majority of the i.MX 6 series processor’s primary features.
It provides a basic product design and serves as an example for how to layout complex,
high-speed interfaces such as DDR. The SABRE board for smart devices includes complete
hardware design files and board support packages (BSP) for Android™, Linux
®
and MQX™
(for Cortex-M4 on i.MX 6SoloX applications processors).
SABRE boards enable designers to quickly get started with i.MX 6 series processors. The
MCIMX6Q-SDB enables development on i.MX 6Quad and i.MX 6Dual processors, and the
MCIMX6SX-SDB on i.MX 6SoloX processors. There are a number of accessory boards that
work with the SABRE-SDB to provide additional capabilities such as multi-touch display
and Wi-Fi connectivity. Refer to freescale.com/SABRESDB for more information.
