iMX RT1166 Developer’s Kit
The iMX RT1166 Developer’s Kit is designed to simplify proof-of-concept work. Users are up-and-running immediately with evaluating the capabilities of the iMX RT1166 uCOM board.
Evaluation of both display outputs are supported. For parallel RGB, the kit comes with a 4.3-inch 480x272px LCD with capacitive touch panel, and for MIPI-DSI there is a MIPI-to-HDMI bridge adapter. Software ports for several graphical frameworks exist. Users can get started with User Interface (UI) development immediately.
Embedded Artists provides extensive documentation in the form of getting-started guides as well as software drivers. This makes it easy for a developer to evaluate and integrate the iMX RT1166 uCOM board.
uCOM Family
Embedded Artists’ uCOM family of pin compatible modules is unique in that it supports both microcontrollers, by the i.MX RT Crossover MCU family from NXP, and application processors, by the i.MX8M family from NXP. Customers can have a common base design that supports differentiated end products, by either mounting an MCU or application processor powered uCOM.
Availability
The iMX RT1166 Developer’s Kit will be available beginning of January 2022 at a price of 249 EUR.
The standard iMX RT1166 uCOM board starts at 40 EUR (1K pcs price, commercial temperature range) and there are multiple mounting options. There are also customization options to further optimize the board both in features and in price.
