NXP delivers the cost-effective i.MX51 based MCIMX51EVKJ evaluation kit, allowing customers to develop, debug and demonstrate their next great product without compromising performance. The i.MX51 EVK has two optional add-on modules; an LCD MCIMX51LCD and an expansion board MCIMX51EXP. Based on a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 core, the i.MX51 EVK delivers extreme performance and provides long battery life helping developers design products that meet today’s demands for energy efficiency. A range of connectivity options makes the i.MX51 EVK suitable for developing many different types of user applications.

The provided Board Support Packages (BSP) for Linux® and Windows® Embedded CE 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.MX51 EVK includes two SD cards; one pre-loaded with Linux and the other with Windows Embedded CE. Both options support a wide range of automotive, consumer, general embedded and industrial applications.

NXP’s EVK for the i.MX51 applications processor allows designers to quickly prototype and demonstrate the results of their development efforts in a small, portable design the size of a 5 x 5 portrait, giving confidence to project decision makers that the product is that much closer to production. Develop user-interactive software and display your product-specific graphical data on a high-quality, touch screen-enabled 7" WVGA LCD available as an add-on module to the EVK. Connect additional input and output peripherals such as a camera, TV out, keypad and UART with the expansion board add-on module. With the NXP i.MX51 EVK, prototyping and development are simplified to improve time to market.
