Yocto Linux SBC adds modules for prototyping

A US company has created a modular embedded Linux board which it hopes will be used across the entire product development cycle from evaluation, development, prototyping to finish product.

Habey has designed the Linux board around a Freescale i.MX6 processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture. It runs an open source embedded Linux distribution with Yocto Project.

The industrial computer firm describes the HIO-EMB-1200 as a single-board computer with its own power input, on-board RAM, flash storage, HDMI, digital audio, USB ports and SD expansion.

The modular design gives eight 50-pin female headers on the top and bottom of the board for expansion modules.

Along with the base board, the company has developed a starter kit for power over Ethernet designs, and a development kit with LCD touch panel.

For more information on product availability go to Habey’s HIO Project website.

The Yocto embedded Linux images, support documents and source codes are also available at HIO Project’s wiki and GitHub.
