The Smart Application Blueprint for
Rapid Engineering (SABRE) board for
smart devices introduces developers
to NXP’s new heterogenous multi­processing solution: the i.MX 7Dual
applications processor with two ARM®
Cortex®-A7 cores and a single ARM
Cortex-M4 core.

The development kit provides an
out-of-box working demonstration to
power-on and run an operating system
from an SD card, exercising the features
on the SABRE board. SABRE design
information, including documentation
and hardware schematics, is available
at www.nxp.com/iMX7DSABRE.

Software board support packages (BSP)
for Linux® and Android™ reference
links are provided at www.nxp.com/
iMXtools.
