The MarS Board is a low-cost, highly-integrated controller board based on NXP’s i.MX6Dual ARM Cortex-A9 application processor which encompasses a dual-core platform running at up to 1 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache and 64-bit DDR3 or 2-ch., 32-bit LPDDR2 support. Integrated FlexCAN, MLB busses, PCI Express® and SATA-2 provide excellent connectivity, while integrating LVDS, MIPI display port, MIPI camera port and HDMI v1.4, the i.MX 6Dual provides a scalable solution for consumer, automotive and industrial applications.
The MarS Board has 4GB eMMC, 4*256MByte DDR3 SDRAM and 2MByte SPI Flash on board and features 4 USB Host and 1 USB OTG, 10M/100M/1Gbps Ethernet, TF card socket and three display ports on board (HDMI, RGB, LVDS). Extra peripheral signals have been brought out from a pair of 2.54mm space 2*20-pin board-to-board female connectors such as UARTs, CAN, SPI, I2C, PWM, etc.
The MarS Board is a ready-to-run platform with ported Linux 3.0.15 or Android 4.0.4. Additionally, Embest provides a demo for uC/OS-II V2.92.05. It is an ideal core processing component for your end devices based on a single hardware design. This will greatly improve the efficiency and agility of design, shorten the development process, and accelerate the products to market.
Embest also provides many add-on options for the MarS Board such as a USB WiFi module (Wi-Pi), a HDMI-to-VGA conversion module (Pi-View) and a 4.3 inch or 7 inch TFT LCD including touch screen. These modules have further extended the functions of the MarS Board.
Key Applications: Consumer, Automotive and Industrial applications.
