PHYTEC insert-ready, OEMable modules support the engineer in every stage of embedded design: from evaluation, through development and prototyping, to OEM deployment. PHYTEC production-ready modules are designed to be plugged onto customer application target boards. Implementation of the phyCORE-i.MX357 SOM subassembly as the "core" of an embedded design allows developers to focus on target circuitry and firmware development.
The phyCORE-i.MX357 is an insert-ready System on Module (SOM) subassembly in miniature dimensions, populated with the Freescale i.MX357. The i.MX family of applications processors are high performance, mobile entertainment engines for the ultimate multimedia experience. Graphics Acceleration, state-of-the-art power management technology, security architecture, Floating Point Unit, and rich peripherals make this module the ideal candidate for computer-bound applications. The i.MX35x extends the functionality of its ARM11-based i.MX3x predecessors by integrating on-chip Ethernet, dual CAN, dual USB-PHYs, a camera and DDR2 memory interfaces. Additional features are its need for a single 3.3V supply and – if populated with the i.MX357 variant – an integrated OpenVG graphics processing unit.
The standard phyCORE-i.MX35x will ship with a pre-programmed Linux or Windows Embedded CE 6.0 image. Source and Binary Board Support Packages (BSPs) are also available.
