i.MX23 Evaluation Kit

The i.MX23 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is price-effective without compromising performance and allows customers to ultimately define and demonstrate the personality of their next great product. The EVK supports all the features of the device in a small, single-board design and an optional LCD add-on module to enable a developer"s complete platform at a low price point of less than $600 USD. Based on a powerful and well-proven ARM926EJ-S core, the i.MX23 EVK delivers exceptional performance without sacrificing on battery life, and for wall-powered devices, helps developers design products that meet today’s demands for energy efficiency. A range of connectivity options makes the i.MX23 EVK suitable for developing many different types of user applications. The provided Board Support Package (BSP) for Linux enables rapid prototyping to help speed up the processor selection process and quickly deliver a demo into the hands of the project stakeholders. The i.MX23 EVK is preconfigured with Linux (MCIMX23LEVK) to support a wide range of consumer, general embedded and industrial applications.
