Buildroot and Yocto

The Linux BSP "fsimx6-B2020.04" is based on Buildroot, a software for creating root file systems. About 1400 different software packages can be added to the root file system using menu control. The range of functions ranges from simple libraries and utilities to a complete Java environment to complete graphical environments such as Qt, Wayland/Weston or X11, including applications such as an HTML5-capable web browser. In this way, it is very easy to put together a customized Linux system.

As an alternative to Buildroot, there is also a Yocto-based environment. We offer the Linux BSP fsimx6-Y2020.03, which is based on Yocto.

Our standard configuration, which should give a first impression of the functional scope of the module, contains the following features: Busybox, gdb, alsa-utils, gstreamer, fbv, X11R7, matchbox, feh, openssl, openssh, ncurses, can-utils, iproute2, ftpd, httpd, telnet, tftp, and much more

Both BSPs include the source code packages from U-Boot (2018.03), Linux kernel (based on 4.9.88) and Buildroot (2019.05.01) or Yocto (2.4) adapted by F&S. In addition, our cross toolchain is included, some sample applications and all binaries in the standard configuration. And last but not least, detailed documents on the hardware are included as well as the first steps documentation for easy entry.

F&S also offers a virtual machine (based on VirtualBox) with an installed Linux based on the Fedora 27 distribution for free download. All packages necessary to translate our software are already installed. All services (NFS, TFTP) for working with our boards are also installed. Our BSP is unpacked and precompiled in the right directories. With this virtual machine it doesn't matter whether you use Windows or Linux as the host. Simply download the VHD, import it into VirtualBox and development can begin immediately.

The highly flexible and hard real-time operating system has kernel, interface drivers and bootloader. It benefits from all the features of a modern CPU, such as ARMv7 THUMB2 command structure or NEON co-processor.
Complete images and the BSP are available in our download area.
Development is done with the latest Microsoft tools like Visual Studio 2015 (C, C++, C# or VB.NET) and Expression Blend 5.
Interfaces like I²C, CAN or SPI can be used in the same way like a RS232 interface.
XAML for Windows Embedded helps to separate visualisation and program the easy way.

Our FailSafe Flash File System F3S is also available in Compact 2013.

The SBC... ...with convincing equipment

Applicable without Base Board

The advantage of Single Board Computers (SBC) is that they can be applied without a baseboard and are especially suited for quick "Time-To-Market". armStone™A9r2/r4 uses i.MX 6Solo/DualLite/QuadPlus ARM Cortex-A9 processor (3D, 2D).

Long Term Availability

A highlight of this CPU is its long availability of more than 15 years (NXP Product Longevity Program).

Various Interfaces
(Wifi, BT,...)

armStone™A9r2/r4 comes with up to 4GByte DDR3 SDRAM, up to 1GByte SLC Flash, and additional 32GB eMMC. Special features compared to armStone™A9/r3 are Wifi, BT, and a camera interface.

 

Further interfaces are Gigabit Ethernet, 4x USB 2.0 Host, USB 2.0 Device, 2x CAN, I²C, 2x SPI, Audio, SATA, PCIe, and 5x serial interfaces.

For display control, 2-channel LVDS and DVI are available simultaneously (with different content).
It is also possible to connect a resistive or capacitive touch panel via I²C.

A supply voltage of 5V causes a power consumption of about 4W, so the armStone™A9r2/r4 can be applied without a fan or cooling device.

armStone™A9r2/r4 allows an unprecedented combination of high-end computer graphics at simultaneously extremely low power loss.
