IMX23EVK: i.MX23 Evaluation Kit

Overview

The i.MX 23 Evaluation Kit (EVK) allows you to define and demonstrate your next great product.

Supports all features in a small, single-board design and optional LCD add-on module to enable a complete platform at a price point less than $600 USD.
Based on the ARM926EJ-S^® core, the i.MX23 EVK delivers performance without sacrificing battery life and helps design products that meet today’s demands for energy efficiency for wall-powered devices.
The provided Board Support Package enables rapid prototyping to quickly deliver a demo to project stakeholders.
Preconfigured with Linux^® (MCIMX23LEVK) to support a wide range of consumer, general embedded and industrial applications.
