Hello everybody.
I work on my graduation (master) thesis, topic is digital photo frame with i.MX233. Could you please check, if this HW is compatible with i.MX233 and if I will be able to run Linux (or Android) on it? Thank you very much:
DISPLAY (I was not able to find Samsung 4,3" LCD)
NHD-4.3-480272MF

NAND FLASH:
MT29F8G08AAA
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=557-1371-1-ND
64MB DDR SDRAM (is 64MB enough?)
MT46V32M16P

Thank you very much.
And please, I´ve nowhere seen one information: how could I program this MCU? JTAG? And what programmer do I need? And am I able to copy OS to Flash via MCU?
Thank you
Matus
Hello everybody.
I need small advice.
I would like to use pinheader for boot selection, so I´ve got connected LCD_D03 - LCD_D00 pins to this header. I would like to use LCD display, but these pins (D03-D00) are pulled up, (for example for booting from NAND, LCD_D02 is always pulled-up). Is it okey? Or when I would like to use LCD display, should I use OTP register? Its also same with LCD_RS, which is always pulled-up.
Thank you very much.
Matus.
I have designed a PCB for my low cost smart phone project using i.MX233 processor and Android on it
with
3.5" QVGA LCD (24bpp, DOTCLK mode)
64MB DDR (MT46V32M16P)
1GB NAND (MT29F8G08AAA)
quadband GSM/GPRS modem (Telit GE865) on AUART1
Bluetooth modem on AUART2
Wifi on SDIO/SPI (SSP2)
3-axis accelerometer and FM receiver on I2C
The thing is I'm new to the i.MX processors and also Android, I started this project with just enthusiasm and boldness :-)
My questions are:
1. Is 64MB enough to run Android and some basic apps on it (the EVK from FS has 128MB)
2. What is the fastest way to verify my board by blinking an LED on GPIO w/o OS
(booting a simple image from USB, I2C EEPROM or SD)
[Stanley] Go to freescale website to download a SDK. There are some examples about this.
3. Where to find a port of Linux or preferably full Android for the i.MX23
[Stanley] You can find linux version.
4. What is (are) the best software devt environment for i.MX23
I really appreciate any suggestions or opinions
Thanks in Advance

/* Daniel */thank you very much.
and, i was thinking about camera...have you ever tried it? could anybody advice me some camera (VGA or 1,3MPx,..)?
I have found: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8668, but it is not available in Slovakia.
Thank you

Hi Matus,
You should use below tool to burn your flash. No any extra hardware needed. Connect your board to a PC via USB to do it.
Please search freescale imx home page to find it.
