=== Introduction ===
[[File:Axel-02.png|300px|frameless|border]]
[http://www.dave.eu/dave-cpu-module-imx6-axel.html Axel Ultra] is a family of system-on-modules that belongs to [http://www.dave.eu/files/roadmap.pdf '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' ''Ultra'' Line product class].
It is based on Freescale's i.MX6 Solo/Dual/Quad application processor. [[Hardware Manual (AxelUltra) | Axel Ultra Hardware Manual]] provides detailed information about hardware interfaces and characteristics. This document will provide a functional overview of the module and will focus on system-related issues.
