Freescale i.MX6 Development Kit (Compact 2013)

10/16/2014

Windows Embedded Compact 2013 includes a board support package (BSP) for the Freescale i.MX6Q SABRE Lite Development Platform, which uses a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 MP core with Symmetric Multiprocessing. When you install Platform Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 with support for ARM processors, Platform Builder creates a %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\iMX6Q_SABRE_Lite folder.

This folder contains the Platform.bib file and other configuration files, the catalog items for the BSP, and the source code for the boot loader, drivers, kernel independent transport layer (KITL), and OEM adaptation layer (OAL).

The following table describes the Freescale i.MX6Q SABRE Lite Development Platform board support package (BSP) included in Platform Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
