The Smart Application Blueprint for
Rapid Engineering (SABRE) board for
smart devices introduces developers
to NXP’s new heterogenous multi-
processing solution: the i.MX 7Dual
applications processor with two ARM
®
Cortex
®
-A7 cores and a single ARM
Cortex-M4 core.
The development kit provides an
out-of-box working demonstration to
power-on and run an operating system
from an SD card, exercising the features
on the SABRE board. SABRE design
information, including documentation
and hardware schematics, is available
at www.nxp.com/iMX7DSABRE.
Software board support packages (BSP)
for Linux
®
and Android™ reference
links are provided at www.nxp.com/
iMXtools.

DEVELOPMENT KIT CONTENTS
1Insert
SD Card
Insert the supplied SD card into the SD
card slot (J6).
Note: Pay careful attention to the
microSD connector as it is fragile. Slide
the connector up or down, following the
open and close arrows on the connector
in order to place the microSD card inside
and lock it in place.
2Verify Boot
Switches
By default, both of the two boot switches
(SW3) are configured to zero position.
With the SD inserted, the board will boot
from the SD card. Without the SD card
inserted, the board will be switched into
serial downloader mode required by
manufacturing tool (MFGTools). If any
other boot source is desired, please
refer to documentation at
www.nxp.com/iMX7DSABRE

3Connect to
Debug UART
Connect the micro-B end of the supplied
USB cable to Debug UART port (J11)
and the other end of the cable to PC
acting as the host terminal. Once the
PC recognizes the virtual USB to UART
device, it can be seen it in your PC
Device Manager list.
There will be 2 ports automatically
configured. The first port will be the
Cortex-A7 core console/debug serial
port, and the second one will be for the
Cortex-M4 core.
Serial port configuration: 115200
baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Note: The PC needs a driver to enable
a virtual COM port through the PC USB
port.
Please consult www.ftdichip.com/
Documents/InstallGuides.htm to
download the correct driver.
4Connect User Interface
Devices (Optional)
Connect monitor via the HDMI connector
(J9). To interact with the user interface
displayed on the monitor it may be desirable
to attach a keyboard and/or a mouse.
5Connect Power
Supply
Connect 5 V power supply into power
jack J1 and set SW1 to the on position.
When power is connected to the smart
device, the board will automatically begin
the boot sequence configured in Step 2.

Quick Start Guide
BOOT PROCESS FOR LINUX IMAGE
During the boot process, there will be
operating system status information
scrolling on the terminal window of the
host computer (if connected).
When the boot process is complete,
the Yocto Project
®
operating system will
be displayed on the monitor display
(if connected).
To work from the terminal window on
the host PC, press enter at the terminal
window to get the command prompt.
For the Linux operating system, use
username root without password to log
in. The Linux image will run on ARM
Cortex-A7 cores. For details to run
FreeRTOS™ on ARM Cortex-M4 core,
please visit www.nxp.com/iMXtools.
TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS
Input power voltage is suggested to be
5 V. The over-voltage protection circuit
on board will disconnect the power
supply from the system in case the
supply voltage is higher than 5.5 V. The
user must take into account this is the
maximum voltage that can be plugged
into J1.
Proper ESD precautions should be
used when handling the board.
For more options and board details
including connection for EPD (electronic
paper display) panel, LVDS panel and
antenna, please refer to documentation

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
