Development Tools
Freescale has developed three market-
focused Smart Application Blueprint for
Rapid Engineering (SABRE) development
systems based on i.MX 6 series applications
processors. Designed to speed and simplify
development, these SABRE systems deliver
the advanced technology features required for
next-generation multimedia and embedded
applications including tablets, e-readers,
digital displays, industrial instrumentation
and aero and automotive infotainment
systems. From hardware accelerators and
multimedia codecs to software development
tools including board support packages
(BSPs), these development systems come
highly optimized with the best offerings from
Freescale and our technology partners.
The SABRE platform for smart devices is
based on the i.MX 6Quad and i.MX 6DualLite
processor families and can be targeted
towards any device requiring an intelligent
display, connectivity, low power and amazing
user experience. It provides a foundation for
enabling new product designs in markets such
as portable computing, education, industrial,
digital displays, medical and home automation.
The SABRE platform for smart devices
includes complete hardware design files,
BSP for Android™ and Linux
®
, and a
bootable SD card containing an Android BSP
image. More information is available at
freescale.com/SABRESDP.
The SABRE board for smart devices
introduces developers to quad-core processing
and bleeding-edge multimedia and graphics
applications on the i.MX 6Quad processor.
Developers are able to work with the majority
of the i.MX 6Quad processor’s primary features
while remaining schematically compatible with
their i.MX 6Quad, i.MX 6Dual, i.MX 6DualLite
and i.MX 6Solo designs. The SABRE board
for smart devices includes complete hardware
design files, BSP for Android, Linux and
Windows
®
Embedded (via third party) and
a bootable SD card containing an Android
BSP image. More information is available at
freescale.com/SABRESDB.
The SABRE for automotive infotainment
offers a solid foundation for next-generation
converged telematics, driver information
systems and infotainment platform designs.
With a range of highly flexible connectivity
options, multiple onboard interfaces and the
unique scalability and performance of the i.MX
6 series, the platform offers system designers
access to key features required for an end
design. The platform is supported by a Linux
BSP as well as multiple third party operating
systems and reference implementations that
allow fast time to market and rapid prototyping.
