Kit Overview

The Freescale's new feature packed i.MX25 development kit (PDK) MCIMX25LPDKJMCIMX25LPDKJ builds on the success and extensive software code base of the i.MX31, i.MX27 and i.MX35 PDK's and gets this comprehensive kit into the hands of developers. 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, will 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's (BSP's) for Linux and WinCE 6.0 enables rapid prototyping to help speed up your processor selection process and quickly get something demonstrable into the hands of your project stake-holders. The i.MX25 PDK is preconfigured with your choice of Linux (MCIMX25LPDKMCIMX25LPDK) or Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (MCIMX25WPDKMCIMX25WPDK).

Key Benefits
