IAR-KSK-IMX25

i.MX Applications Processors
Freescale Product Development Kit (PDK)
for the i.MX25 Applications Processor
Design. Debug. Demo.
Overview
Freescale’s new feature packed i.MX25
product development kit (PDK) builds on the
success and extensive software code base
of the i.MX31, i.MX27 and i.MX35 PDKs and
gets this comprehensive kit into the hands
of developers for under $1000. Based on a
powerful and well-proven ARM926EJ-S™
core, the i.MX25 PDK delivers exceptional
performance without sacrificing on battery
life, and for wall-powered devices, it can help
you to design products that meet today’s
demands for energy efficiency. A wide range
of connectivity options makes the i.MX25
PDK suitable for developing many different
types of user applications. The provided
Board Support Package (BSP) for Linux
®
and Windows
®
Embedded 6.0 enables rapid
prototyping to help speed up your processor
selection process and quickly get something
demonstrable into the hands of your project
stakeholders.
The i.MX25 PDK is preconfigured with
your choice of Linux
®
(MCIMX25LPDK)
or Windows
®
Embedded CE 6.0
(MCIMX25WPDK), making it an outstanding
choice for a wide range of industrial, general
embedded and automotive applications.
The i.MX25 PDK supports the entire i.MX25
family of products.

Design
With the i.MX25 PDK, designers have access
to key features needed for an end design.
The Freescale i.MX25 PDK’s personality
module provides designers with the hardware
functionality and connectivity required for
developing many applications, such as
human machine interface (HMI) for graphical
display of data and user interaction (e.g.
factory and home automation, security panels
and auto infotainment), smart metering
devices for better management of home
energy consumption, industrial printers,
data acquisition devices and automotive
infotainment. With production-ready software
components, an optimized OS and a system-
validated board support package (BSP),
designers have the tools to test and maximize
the performance of the applications they
have developed. Speed up your product
development by using the Freescale MC34704
power management IC. With application note
and software drivers included in the i.MX25
PDK, it’s a smart choice for power sensitive
applications.

Debug
Software and hardware engineers are
provided with the key resources to test their
developed code. They can also download
this code to the target PDK to test and
validate their software and run and evaluate
performance metrics. The debug board
provides multiple test points to allow the
engineer to take power measurements
that will help to understand system power
consumption and areas for code optimization.
The ability to have all communications ports
working (serial, USB, Ethernet) and to debug
over JTAG and Ethernet is essential for
product development. The debug board is
common across all i.MX PDKs.
Demo
Freescale’s PDK for the i.MX25 applications
processor allows designers to quickly
prototype and demonstrate the results of
their development efforts in a small, portable
form-factor, giving confidence to your project
decision makers that your product is ready
for production. Connectivity options on the
kit lets you prototype add-on cards that
support your own product specific features,
without having to redesign the base system.
Develop user-interactive software and display
your product-specific graphical data on the
large, high quality, touchscreen-enabled 5.7”
TFT LCD included in the kit. With Freescale's
i.MX25 PDK, designers and stakeholders can
hold their projects in their hands and evaluate
its compelling features, all within weeks of
starting development.
