phyCORE-i.MX31


Overview

PHYTEC insert-ready, OEMable modules support the engineer in every stage of embedded design: from evaluation, through development and prototyping, to OEM deployment. PHYTEC production-ready modules are designed to be plugged onto customer application target boards. Implementation of the phyCORE-i.MX31 SOM subassembly as the "core" of an embedded design allows developers to focus on target circuitry and firmware development.
The phyCORE-i.MX31 is an insert-ready System on Module (SOM) subassembly in miniature dimensions, populated with the Freescale i.MX31. The i.MX family of applications processors are high performance, mobile entertainment engines for the ultimate multimedia experience. Graphics Acceleration, state-of-the-art power management technology, security architecture, Floating Point Unit, and rich peripherals make this module the ideal candidate for computer-bound applications. Board support packages are also available for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and Linux operating systems.
The standard phyCORE-i.MX31 ships with a pre-programmed Linux or Windows Embedded CE 6.0 image. Source and Binary Board Support Packages (BSPs) are also available.
