Freescale Semiconductor MCIMX53SMD Board Hardware User’s Guide, Rev. 0 9
1. Introduction
The MCIMX53SMD Board Hardware User’s Guide is a user manual that describes the design and usage of the
MCIMX53SMD board, which is a printed circuit board (PCB) based on Freescale Semiconductor’s i.MX53
Applications Processor (AP). This guide specifies the basic architecture of the MCIMX53SMD board and
explains the design and purpose of each component of the board. It also tells how developers can use the
MCIMX53SMD board in their various development works.
1.1. MCIMX53SMD Board Overview
The MCIMX53SMD board is an i.MX53 platform that provides many widely used features of the i.MX53
Applications Processor in a tablet package. Being a complete development platform, the MCIMX53SMD board
has a design structure that is almost similar to the more complex i.MX53 platforms. This helps developers to
port code developed on the MCIMX53SMD board to other boards with minimal effort. Developers can use the
MCIMX53SMD board to test the features of the i.MX53 Applications Processor, before investing a large
amount of money or resources in more specific designs. Figure 1-1 shows an MCIMX53SMD board with a
debug card and a display.
Figure 1-1. MCIMX53SMD Board with a Debug Card and a Display
The different components of the MCIMX53SMD board are listed in Table 1-1.
