Hello forum,
Please inform me about evaluation development boards for full-duplex video/audio encoding and decoding. Also following development, I seek OEM or smaller boards than the evaluation for board for product integration. Following are my requirements and questions:
Thanks for your help.

Hi Corby,
What you are asking for is a very specific use case. Unfortunately, the two development boards available from Freescale (SABRE AI and SABRE SD) are designed more to support software development while actual customer hardware is being designed. A third board, available from Boundary Devices (SABRELite), falls into the same basic category.
All three boards come with only one Ethernet port, although there is a mini-PCIe connector available which would allow a second Ethernet connection through a PCIe to Ethernet adapter card.
All boards have connections for HDMI, LVDS or RGB outputs.
As for video inputs:
The SABRE SD board was designed specifically to work with OmniVision OV5640/5642 camera modules, so camera input would be problematic. The SABRELite board has proprietary interfaces that could probably be modifies to use with external sources. The SABRE AI and SABRELite board both have 4-lane MIPI camera connections that are somewhat standardized. It would depend on what type of interface your camera had available.
WIFI is available on the SABRE SD board through a third-party SDIO expansion card (Silex technology).
There would be no “proven software” for any of this. Source code for Linux operating system is available, but must be modified to meet your specific application.
The i.MX6 processor is capable of handling the required data processing that is needed real time.
The software development boards available from Freescale are roughly 100mm x 180mm, with no plans to reduce them in size. The SABRELite board is 75mm x 75mm.
More information about each specific board can be found at:

SABRE SD http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=RDIMX6SABREBRD&fsrch=1&sr=2
SABRELite http://boundarydevices.com/products/sabre-lite-imx6-sbc/
I am not aware of any other third-party hardware that would do specifically what you require.
I wish you the best of luck with your search.
Cheers,
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thank you for replying to my questions.
I will investigate your links. My requirement is to ingest two live streaming videos/audio into the the board. The board of size 100mm X 180mm is too large to fit into the proof-of-concept.
The board size should be about 90mm X 90mm.
Is the iMX6 Sabre lite dev board fast enough to perform simultaneous encode/decode/scaling in real time on qty. two HD -- H.264 streams, which is full-duplex? One stream entering the board is to be encoded. The second stream is to be decoded. qty. 1-2 mini-PCI express is required connection. qty. 1-2 RJ-45 Giga-ethernet ports is required.
Is this iMX6 processor the fastest DSP processor available by Freescale? In terms of GFLOPs and MMACs.
Please let me know your opinions.
Regards,
Corby
