Introduction

LinkSprite Acadia is powered by i.MX6 Quad. It can adapt to a variety of harsh environments and applications. i.MX6 is based on the ARM Cortex -A9 highly scalable architecture. LinkSprite Acadia has HDMI interface to output its graphic desktop screen. It could support multi-format 2048*1536 display. It targets specially the fast growing demands from the open source community and industry application. LinkSprite Acadia provides easy-to-use tool chains and is compatible with the popular Arduino ecosystem such as Arduino Shields.
