Overview

The MCIMX515 (i.MX515) represents Freescale

Semiconductors latest achievement in

integrated multimedia applications processors.

This solution is part of a growing family of

multimedia-focused products offering high-

performance processing optimized for

low power consumption.

The i.MX515 processor features Freescales

advanced and power-efficient implementation

of the ARM Cortex-A8 core, which operates

at speeds up to 1 GHz.
