ARROW ELECTRONICS INTRODUCES OPEN SOURCE
BOARD WITH NEW FREESCALE I.MX 7 MICROPROCESSOR
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today announced at the
Freescale Technology Forum that it is now offering an open-source,
specification-compliant board that is based on the new Freescale
i.MX 7 microprocessor. Arrow also collaborated with Qualcomm
Atheros Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, on the board’s
Bluetooth & Wi-Fi capabilities and with Linear Technology on
the board’s power supply.
“The i.MX 7 series-based, open-source board provided by Arrow
enables the developer community to create secure, power-efficient
systems with drastically reduced time to market,” said Ron Martino,
vice president of applications processors and advanced technology
adoption for Freescale’s MCU group. “Leveraging the
industry-leading attributes of Freescale’s i.MX 7 series technology
and Arrow’s i.MX-certified application engineering workforce,
developers will introduce a broad range of devices with longer
battery life, higher levels of security and performance-on-demand
for evolving Internet of Tomorrow applications.”
Arrow collaborates with its extensive supplier and manufacturer
network to design a range of standardized, open-source boards for
the nonprofit Linaro 96Boards community. The goal of its 96Boards
initiative is to provide an option for standardization of
system-on-a-chip (SoC) boards for software developers, the maker
community and embedded product manufacturers. Standardized boards,
like the one Arrow announced today, enable developers to focus on
innovating on a range of compatible add-on software and hardware
products.
The board that Arrow developed with Freescale, Qualcomm Atheros
and Linear Technology is compatible with the 96Boards Consumer
Edition Specification, which targets the mobile, embedded and
digital home segments. To learn more about the Linaro 96Boards
initiative, please visit www.96boards.org.
