= AXEL ULTRA NXP/Freescale i.MX6 CPU module = [[File:Axel-01.png|200px|frameless|border|left]] AXEL ULTRA is the new top-class Single - Dual - Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU module by '''DAVE Embedded Systems''', based on the recent NXP/Freescale i.MX6 application processor. Thanks to AXELULTRA, customers have the chance to save time and resources by using a compact solution that permits to reach scalable performances that perfectly fits the application requirements avoiding complexities on the carrier board. The use of this processor enables extensive system-level differentiation of new applications in many industry fields, where high-performance and extremely compact form factor (85mm x 50mm) are key factors. Smarter system designs are made possible, following the trends in functionalities and interfaces of the new, state-of-the-art embedded products. AXEL ULTRA offers great computational power, thanks to the rich set of peripherals, the Scalable ARM Cortex-A9 together with a large set of high-speed I/Os (up to 5GHz). [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/sites/default/files/files/ARM_comparison_table.pdf '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' ''Ultra'' Line product class]. It is based on NXP 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.
