Embedded Linux for i.MX Applications Processors

IMXLINUX

Quickly get your Linux based designs started with the full-featured and energy-efficient i.MX family of processors by using our Linux development tools. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive Linux environment that is easy to develop your designs with thus reducing your time to market.

Linux board support packages (BSPs) are tested and certified ensuring a fully operational toolchain, kernel and board specific modules that are ready to use together within a fixed configuration for i.MX hardware development tools. These BSPs provide the foundation you need to begin your project quickly.

The i.MX family Linux Board Support Package (BSP) supports the Linux Operating System (OS) on the i.MX application processors. The purpose of this software package is to support Linux OS on the i.MX family of integrated circuits (ICs) and their associated platforms. It provides the necessary software to interface the standard open-source Linux kernel to the i.MX hardware. The goal is to enable i.MX customers to rapidly build products based on i.MX devices that use the Linux OS. The BSP is not a platform or product reference implementation. It does not contain all of the product-specific drivers, hardware-independent software stacks, graphical user interface (GUI) components, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and applications required for a product. Some of these are made available in their original open-source form as part of the base kernel. The BSP is not intended to be used for silicon verification. While it can play a role in this, the BSP functionality and the tests run on the BSP do not have sufficient coverage to replace traditional silicon verification test suites.
