Based on its powerful research and development abilities, Fudan Tech has released an advanced smart multi-media application development platform FD_iMX21-Platform based on ARM926EJ-S core. It is designed to serve high-technology enterprises and academies in the field of advanced embedded multi-media application developments
　　 FD_iMX21-DevPlatform is a multi-function development hardware platform base on the multi-media processor iMX21 produced by Freescale. iMX21 is an advanced low-consumption multi-media processor with strong functions. It is based on a high-performance and low-consumption ARM926EJ-S core. An Enhanced Multimedia Accelerator (eMMA) offers you pre- and post- processing modules as well as MPEG-4 and H.263 encoder and decoder which may be used in 2-D, 3-D graphic and video applications. You may connect any kinds of CMOS sensors to the high-speed CMOS sensor interface it provides.
　　It has full fledged human interfaces such as an 8 X 8 keypad and a 16/18-bit color LCD controller up to SVGA.
　　 It also has rich interconnection interfaces such as 4 x UARTs, an IrDA(MIR/FIR), 2 HOST USB OTG, 2 CSPI and a I2C interface.
　　 The expansion interfaces are 2 MMC interfaces ， 2 SD/SDIO interfaces, a PCMCIA interface and a True IDE interface.
　　 The processor works at a high frequency ranges from 266MHz to 532MHz and the system clock may up to 133MHz.
　　 The FD_iMX21-DevPlatform based on iMX21 is able to meet all the needs for embedded multi-media applications nowadays and is suitable for all these developments.
