Wandboard - Freescale® i.MX6 Development Boarde-CAM51IMX6 can stream Full HD 1080p@30fps and supports HD 720p@60fps. The i.MX6
processor has support for dual camera interfaces and has the ability to record video at 1080p
and 720p resolutions in various industry standard video encoding formats. The e-CAM51IMX6
can be plugged directly to the MIPI CSI-2 camera header of Wandboard through the 33 pin flex
cable.
The Wandboard is an ultra-low power complete computer with high performance multimedia
capabilities based on the Freescale i.MX6 family of processors. The i.MX6 CPU family is basedon ARM Cortex A-9 core and is available with single, dual and quad core versions with eachcore clocking at a maximum of 1.2GHz. The i.MX6 CPU family has a dedicated multi-format

video codec engine and e-con’s camera solution has been integrated very well with this engine.
With e-CAM51IMX6, Wandboard can record 1080p video at 30 fps and stream 1080p@30fps
over Wi-Fi or Wired Ethernet.
The e-CAM51IMX6 camera solution is well integrated with the i.MX6 processor and its internal
multi-format video codec engine. Customers can take advantage of this powerful combinationof e-CAM51IMX6 with Wandboard as a ready-to-use reference platform for developing their
video streaming/recording/processing applications on the powerful i.MX6 CPU. E-con has also
demonstrated the simultaneous streaming/recording/displaying 720p or 1080p video on thesame platform.
“We are excited with the launch of e-CAM51IMX6 for Wandboard, as this expands our camera
solutions offering for Freescale i.MX6 family of processors. With our e-CAM51IMX6 camera, weare able to demonstrate the encoding/recording to SD memory card, video streaming over
Ethernet/WiFi and local playback – all of them simultaneously and at 720p60 and 1080p30
resolutions.” commented Ashok Babu, President, e-con Systems. “Such a high level ofintegration with Freescale i.MX6 platform by leveraging its video processing sub-system will be
an ideal base for our customers who may want to build their solutions around this simultaneousvideo processing capabilities. In addition e-con can also customize its existing range of camera
modules with Wandboard on request”, he added.
Customers designing handheld devices, tablets, automotive infotainment, health-careequipment/devices, diagnostic equipment, video streaming, video conferencing terminals etc,
can immensely benefit from this ready-to-use camera module. E-con also provides extensive
customization services starting from integrating of other CMOS/CCD Image sensors and also
customizing the Linux, Windows Embedded Compact and Android device drivers to meet thecustomer applications. Customers can approach e-con for interfacing any other image
sensors/camera modules or for customized software development on the same platform.
e-CAM57_MI5640_MOD is based on Omnivision’s OV5640 image sensor and comes with a
70mm flex cable and this can be customized to any form or shape. This provides flexibility inenclosure design as the camera module can be placed as far as 100 mm from the processor
interface and solves the complex mechanical design requirements of a typical consumer device.
OmniVision‘s OV5640 CameraChip™ sensor, which is part of the e-CAM57_MI5640_MOD, has
an embedded ISP. The sensor features automatic image control functions including automatic
exposure control (AEC), automatic white balance (AWB), automatic band filter (ABF), 50/60Hz
automatic luminance detection, and automatic black level calibration (ABLC).
The e-CAM51IMX6 camera board is available for purchase at the cost of USD 69 from e-con
Systems’ Webstore immediately.
