The NXP^® Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) board for smart devices introduces developers to multicore processing, low-power consumption and leading-edge multimedia and graphics applications on the i.MX 6 series applications processors.

The MCIMX6Q-SDB enables development on i.MX 6Quad and i.MX 6Dual processors.
The SABRE board for smart devices provides you with a low-cost development platform which includes all primary features of the processors and serves as an example for how to layout complex, high-speed interfaces such as DDR.
It includes complete hardware design files. There are also a number of accessory boards that work with the SABRE-SDB to provide additional capabilities such as multi-touch display and Wi-Fi^® connectivity.
In addition to optimized BSPs for Android^™, Linux^®, we also provide a large portfolio of optimized video, speech and audio codecs.
