i.mx6

The i.MX6 from Freescale

This past year has been one of many surprises, so we will add another one before year end. We are pressing ahead to the i.MX6. While our i.MX53 design will be available for license, too much time has past between chip availability, our first boards and the final version that is now being produced.  We have decided to shift ahead. That is our Holiday Surprise.  There will be an Efika MX with an i.MX6 in 2012.

The final i.MX53 design is very inexpensive to manufacture. It is a four-layer board.  There are many great qualities about it.  Even better, the software was finished last week. It is ready to go to market.  We will be showing it at CES in January. 

We are wishing you all a joyous Holiday Season and a fantastic 2012. Thank you for making 2011 a great year for the Efika MX and Genesi.

Knowledge compounds. The experiences that we have in life, in business and in society, should drive us to learn and to improve. That is, if we want to get better. Knowledge is wealth and grows when learning is applied and compounded.

Last week, Genesi was mentioned in a Gartner Report on the subject of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT seems to be phase two of the smart connected device era.

openSUSE on Efika MX

There was a nice article posted online yesterday by Linux Magazine of Germany: Open-Suse-Image für ARM-Computer.  The article applauded the efforts of the openSUSE Team and particularly Bernhard Wiedemann, who recently posted on his blog instructions for booting openSUSE on the Efika MX. We are very pleased to have the support of the openSUSE Team. Vielen herzlichen Dank!

Genesi has been working with the openSUSE Team pretty much from the beginning.

imx53 Presentation System running Citrix 12.0

from Sao Paulo to Windows 7 host at Amazon.com

We built the presentation system to hold the new imx53, 50x100mm, four-layer board. The imx53 Efika MX products will perform better and cost less to manufacture. Our most recent travels took us to Brazil. It's a big country with lots of people that want to be online and many companies that are interested in helping them do that. In the mean time, if you have not upgraded your software, please do.

Powering Potential's Janice Lathen and the Efika MX

meet Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete

As mentioned in the last blog, the Convention of the Diaspora Council of Tanzanians in America (DICOTA) was held in Washington D.C. this past weekend. The Efika MX received some great exposure at the Event (see table).

The Genesi i.MX53 board seen at FTF in June has been through its second revision. The BOM has changed, creating another level of design work. The delay will save us money and time (e.g., long lead time parts have been designed out and more expensive parts have been replaced by less expensive parts). During the interval, we have continued to improve the software for both the i.MX51 and the newer i.MX53-based Efika MX devices. Additionally, we are testing an armhf 3D enabled image.
