最近想做個網絡專案，上網 survey 了一些開發板、核心板，本來想入手 Raspberry Pi 樹莓派 的開發板 NT$ 1,290 (NT$ 35)，雖然價格超便宜又開源，但 Broadcom BCM2835 CPU 只有 RAM-A7 700MHz、512MB RAM，跑起 Android OS 一定會很慢。所以最後決定入手 Freescale 的 CPU ARM 雙核 i.MX 6 Dual Core Cortex-A9 的開發板 NT$ 3,500 (NT$ 99) 來試試！
產品特色：
MarS Board 是深圳市英蓓特科技有限公司推出的基于飛思卡爾（Freescale Semiconductor）i.MX 6 Dual 處理器的評估板。i.MX 6 Dual處理器集成了高達 1GHz的 ARM Cortex™-A9 內核、2D 和 3D 圖形處理器和 3D 1080p 視頻處理器。
MarS Board 評估板具有豐富的接口，包括HDMI接口、LVDS 接口、Mini USB OTG 接口、Mini USB Debug 接口、RJ45 接口、USB HUB 接口、TF 卡接口和 LCD 顯示接口，能夠幫助開發者針對上網本、桌面一體機、高端移動互聯網設備、高端掌上電腦、高端便攜式媒體播放器、遊戲機和便攜式導航設備等各種不同領域進行開發。
MarS Board 擁有4*256MB DDR3 SDRAM、4GByte eMMC存儲器、板載2MByte SPI Flash a、 4 個USB Host and 1 個USB OTG, 10M/100M/1000M 以太網, TF 卡槽 以及板載三種視頻輸出接口 (HDMI, RGB, LVDS). 並從2.54mm間距2*20針板對板母連接器引出更多其他外圍信號例如 UARTs, CAN, SPI, I2C, PWM, etc.
MarS Board 現在運行Linux 3.0.15 、Android 4.0.4。另外, 英蓓特科技提供uC/OS-II V2.92.05 的demo供用戶體驗. 這是一個為您的終端設備而準備的基於一個單一的硬件設計的理想核心處理部件。這將大大提高設計的效率和靈活性，縮短客戶產品的開發週期，加快產品上市。
英蓓特科技同時為MarS Board提供許多周邊模組比如 USB WiFi 模塊 (Wi-Pi), HDMI轉VGA模塊 (Pi-View) and 4.3 寸 、7 寸TFT LCD 觸摸屏。這些模塊為MarS Board進一步擴展更多的功能。

Overview：
Measuring only 65.46mm by 102.04mm, the MarS Board is a low-cost highly-integrated controller board based on Freescale’s i.MX 6Dual ARM Cortex-A9 application processor which encompasses a dual-core platform running up to 1 GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache and 64-bit DDR3 or 2-ch., 32-bit LPDDR2 support. Integrated FlexCAN, MLB busses, PCI Express® and SATA-2 provide excellent connectivity, while integration of LVDS, MIPI display port, MIPI camera port and HDMI v1.4, the i.MX 6Dual provides a scalable solution for consumer, automotive and industrial applications.
The MarS Board has 4GByte eMMC, 4*256MByte DDR3 SDRAM and 2MByte SPI Flash on board and features 4 USB Host and 1 USB OTG, 10M/100M/1Gbps Ethernet, TF card socket and three display ports on board (HDMI, RGB, LVDS). More other peripheral signals have been brought out from a pair of 2.54mm space 2*20-pin board-to-board female connectors such as UARTs, CAN, SPI, I2C, PWM, etc.
The MarS Board is a ready-to-run platform with ported Linux 3.0.15 or Android 4.0.4. Additionally, Embest provides the demo for uC/OS-II V2.92.05 for user experience. It is an ideal core processing component for your end devices based on a single hardware design. This will greatly improve the efficiency and agility of design, shorten the circle of developing, and accelerate the products to come into the market.
Embest also provides many add-on options for the MarS Board such as USB WiFi module (Wi-Pi), HDMI-to-VGA conversion module (Pi-View) and 4.3 inch or 7 inch TFT LCD including touch screen.
These modules have further extended more functions for the MarS Board.
