Android DevKit8500D Evaluation Board

Android DevKit8500D Evaluation Board takes full features of the DM3730 processor and supports up to 512MByte DDR SDRAM and 512MByte NAND Flash as well as a reserved iNAND design to expand the flash storage capabilities. The board has exposed many other hardware interfaces including serial ports, LCD/TSP, DVI-D, S-Video, Ethernet, USB, TF, keyboard, camera, SPI, I2C and JTAG. The board is able to support for Linux 2.6.32 and WinCE 6.0 operating systems. It has two methods to boot Linux and WinCE systems from either TF card or NAND flash. Besides, it is provided with Android 2.2 demo with driver source code. It gives instructions on how to boot Android demo image from NAND flash with TF card.

Android DevKit8500D Evaluation Kit includes DevKit8500D board and all necessary accessories to help users start their own applications. The board is preloaded with Linux OS in NAND flash and WinCE OS in TF card. User can display the subsystem using a 4.3" TFT LCD and Touch screen or using a DVI-D monitor through an HDMI to DVI-D calbe, or using TV for NTSC/PAL video out. Along with the kit, provides user manual, schematic drawing and datasheet documents to help customers better understand and use the kit.

Additionally, We offers various modules for Devkit8500D including VGA (VGA8000) , WiFi ( WF8000-U), Analog Camera ( CAM8000-A ), GPS ( GPS8000-S), GPRS ( GPRS8000-S ), 3G ( CDMA8000-U , WCDMA8000-U ) and Digital Camera ( CAM8100-U , CAM8000-D) modules which greatly extends the functions of the board and would be flexible for customer selection to meet their own needs.
