The TX-STAR is pin compatible with the existing TX27 i.MX27 processor and TX37 i.MX37 processor-based modules. All modules can be supplied with the Development Kit-5 hardware reference platform. The TX-STAR is available with both Linux and Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0.
According to Bob Giblett, President, Strategic Test Corp., “We are very excited about the TX-STAR as this is the lowest priced 32-bit SOM that is capable of running standard OS’s such as Linux and Windows CE. For companies currently using 16-bit MCU’s who are strangled by performance and lack of code transportability, we believe the TX-STAR offers a terrific alternative in this economic climate.”
The i.MX 25 is derived from the popular i.MX32 processor and based on the ARM926EJ-S core.
