congatec presents complete ARM on Qseven design support packagefor Freescale®i.MX6 series processors based onARM® Cortex™-A9 architecture
Full design-inincludesQseven StarterKit, WEC7 software support,Linux BSP and tablet PC demonstrator
COMPUTEX, Taipei, 4 June 2013 * * * congatec AG, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, announces a complete Qseven supportfor easy integration of Freescale Semiconductori.MX6 series processors into ARM-based designs. In addition congatec offers a Qseven Starter Kit, expanded software support with Adeneo forWindows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7), Linux board support package (BSP) plus a congatec tablet PC demonstrator.
The main component of the design-in support is the conga-QMX6 Qseven COM. It comes equipped with the Freescale i.MX6 series processor family based on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture which is scalable from 1 (i.MX 6Solo) to 4 (i.MX 6Quad) ARM cores and sports a sophisticated high-end, 3D-ready HD graphics interface. Commercial versions are running on a frequency of 1.0 GHz while industrial variants run at 800 MHz.
Thanks to a software partnership withAdeneo, the conga-QMX6 module supportsan embedded Linux version, Android and Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7. WEC7 provides a 32-bit hard real-time operating system with Silverlight support, a customizable user interface, a new multimedia player, Internet Explorer with Flash 10.1 and a powerful development tool. In addition, it provides customized development and design tools for programmers; XAML and C++ can be used.
“Freescale’s outstanding embedded expertise plus scalability and long term availability of at least 10 years of the i.MX6 seriesmake these processors the perfect choice for ARM-based COMs. As a Freescale Connect Proven Partnerand with Adeneo as a partner for Windows Embedded Compact, Android and embedded Linux developments on the i.MX processor architecture, we haveperfect software support,” says congatec CEO Gerhard Edi.
To rapidly prototype embedded systems for ARM designsand to minimize the development costs, congatec also provides a complete Starter Kit comprising theconga-QMX6 module, the flexible Qseven evaluation carrier board conga-QEVAL and a matching 12V power adapter. With the supplied cable set, it takes just minutes to build a compact demo system. The conga-QEVAL is easy to integrate and offers multiple interfaces.
To show customers, how easy ARM integration can be when usingstandard congatec components, the company has designed aQseven tablet PC demonstrator.The tablet demonstrator vividly illustrates the flexibility of modular programming and its ability to drastically reduce the design time and complexity of compact equipment, such as an industrial tablet PC.
Thanks to their compact size and extremely low power, Qseven embedded computer modules based on ARM architectures are an ideal solution for virtually any low-power or ultra mobile embedded PC application. First and great design wins already prove the success of the completeARM on Qseven package forFreescale processors.
