Overview

Freescale delivers the cost-effective i.MX23 evaluation kit, allowing customers to develop, debug and demonstrate their next great product without compromising performance. The first in our new price, performance and personality series, the evaluation kit supports all the features of the device in a small, singleboard design and an optional LCD add-on module to enable developers a complete development platform at a low price point of less than $600. Based on a powerful and well-proven ARM926EJ-S™ core, the i.MX23 EVK delivers exceptional performance without sacrificing battery life, and for wall-powered devices, will help 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 to support a wide range of consumer, general embedded and industrial applications.
