WandBoard

The [WandBoard] is a very low-cost development platform based on the Freescale i.MX6 processor.

= Hardware =

There are currently two versions of WandBoard, "Solo" and "Dual". The WandBoard itself is a System-On-Module of the EDM standard that comes with a matching motherboard. The motherboard is quite trivial and is the same for both versions of the WandBoard.



EDM module

 * Freescale i.MX6 CPU (ARM Cortex A9)
 * i.MX6 Solo (single core) on "Solo" version
 * i.MX6 Dual Lite (dual core) on "Dual" version
 * Vivante GPU:
 * 3D core: GC880 @ @ 533MHz, 1 shader core 4.8 GFLOPS
 * 2D core: GC320 composition engine
 * DDR3 RAM
 * 512 MB on "Solo" version (two 2Gbit chips)
 * 1 Gigabyte on "Dual" version (four 2Gbit chips)
 * MicroSD card slot (bootable, at SD3 of the CPU)
 * AR8031 Gigabit LAN
 * BCM4329 Wi-Fi+Bluetooth (at SD2, UART3, AUD5; unpopulated on "Solo" version)
 * Flat cable connector for camera (CSI, I2C2, GPIO)
 * Power circuit (5V input)

Motherboard

 * Gigabit LAN connector
 * HDMI connector
 * USB host connector (USB3 for future use but currently in USB2 mode only)
 * USB OTG connector
 * MicroSD card slot (at SD1)
 * UART DB9 connector (at UART1 via ADM3202)
 * Audio I/O (at AUD3 via SGTL5000) and SPDIF (3.5mm jacks and optical)
 * 5VDC power barrel connector
 * SATA connector (probably unpopulated, reserved for future use; no SATA on i.MX6 Solo and Dual Lite)
 * Four 1.27mm 2x10 expansion headers:
 * LVDS0 (4 signal pairs + clock), +3V3
 * Flat panel display data lines (24 bit total); no power or GND at this header
 * Rest of FPD data lines, FPD control lines, +3V3, three I2C interfaces
 * One SPI (with two CS), 8 GPIO lines, +5V

= Availability =

As of Jan 17, 2013 preorder only. Prices are 69 USD for Solo and 89 USD for Dual. First boards seem to be shipped to partner developers.
