MCIMX7SABRE

MCIMX7SABRE is a SABRE board for smart devices based on i.MX 7Dual (dual Cortex‑A7 + Cortex‑M4) applications processor, utilizing both the Arm® Cortex®-A7 and Cortex®-M4 cores with enhanced security and power optimization. With the goal of faster time to market, the SABRE board allows developers to evaluate the processors’ primary features including hardware-enabled security, integrated EPD controller, LCD/HDMI/MIPI DSI display and flexible connectivity interface, plus rich on-board solutions to Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth®4.0+EDR (Supporting Bluetooth Low Energy), and dual 1 Gigabit Ethernet. The corresponding software support enables developers to run a rich operating system like Linux® or Android™ on the Arm Cortex-A7 core and FreeRTOS on the Arm Cortex-M4 core, exploring the full potential of the Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP) architecture.

• i.MX 7Dual processors: dual Arm® Cortex‑A7 (up to 1 GHz) + Single Arm® Cortex‑M4 up to 200MHz
• 1GB DDR3 memory, expansion footprint (eMMC, NAND flash and QSPI flash)
• Port for parallel LCD display, HDMI display, MIPI DSI display and MIPI CSI CMOS sensor (camera)
• Wireless: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi® on board and Bluetooth V4.0 + EDR on board
