Android Support and BSP for Ka-Ro TX-51 Modules
Android is becoming more and more interesting for use in embedded environments other than mobile phones. The Ka-Ro Electronics TX-51 is a small form factor COM based on the Freescale i.MX51 SoC. We made a little Board Support Package for the TX-51 for people who want to start product development based on Android.
Support Status
Basic features supported on the TX-51. A board with 256MB RAM is required for Android 2.2 or later. Hardware accelerated display is available, touchscreen and calibration is supported as well as several peripherals and NAND flash storage.
For the TX-53 there is an engineering demo with hardware acceleration but apart from this very limited features.
