The Nitrogen6X is a low-cost development platform that allows customers to evaluate the i.MX6 processor before committing to a custom design. With the availability of LinuxLink for i.MX6, customers now have access to award-winning and comprehensive Linux development tools, expert support and professional services, enabling them to significantly shorten their time to market and reduce development costs.
Customers can start building custom Linux board support packages and matching software development kits (BSPs/SDKs) for their development kit in minutes using the LinuxLink FREE Edition for Nitrogen6X which includes:
-- Kernel, toolchain and debugger
-- Wizard-based interface which enables developers to:
-- Easily choose their kernel, software packages and tools
-- Build a custom BSP/SDK ready to run on their development kit
-- First line of support by Timesys for build / boot issues
-- Free SDKs to help jumpstart application development
-- 30-day access to TimeStorm IDE for application development
-- Demo code for a seamless out-of-the-box Linux experience
-- Access to hundreds of open source software packages
Through Timesys's commercial offering, customers can leverage all i.MX6x hardware accelerated features, including media framework, in their custom embedded Linux design and can modify all aspects of it. Customers can also leverage integrated development tools and SDKs and easily develop state-of-the-art UIs using the Qt framework, available in Timesys tools.
In addition, customers can further shorten their time-to-market by utilizing Timesys's just-in-time professional services.
"The availability of the LinuxLink FREE Edition from Timesys will help platform and application developers easily start embedded Linux development using our Nitrogen6X development kit," said Eric Nelson, Vice President of Boundary Devices. "Our partnership with Timesys will ensure an easy and fast Linux development experience -- even for novice developers. Timesys's approach to building a custom Linux-based product is very intuitive and enables our customers to start development of their value-add software right away."

"Our partnership with Boundary Devices and Freescale helps engineering teams reduce development time, lower risks and decrease the costs associated with building an embedded Linux-based product around i.MX6 Series Processors."
