I know, that I have not been posting much, but we have developed and shared everything what we wanted, basically this project is complete, so there is not really much what to post about. Just wanted to let you know, that all iMX6 Rex boards are very alive, processor is going to be available for many more years and we are planing to keep production and support. We still keep teaching people how to design this board in our online courses at FEDEVEL Academy and boards can be ordered from VOIPAC. If you have any questions, simply ask on our forum here: http://www.fedevel.com/designhelp/

As you know, there are Magnetometer, Accelerometer and Gyro sensor on OpenRex. I wanted to test how good it works. I made a simple Compass reading code and I am showing OpenRex orientation in 3D software called Blender. It’s really cool. Have a look. This video gives you and idea how you can do it too:

Finally. For everyone fighting with Yocto, Linux and uBoot …

When we started iMX6 Rex project couple of years ago, it was always very hard for me to get the software work done. I am a hardware design engineer and we always had to wait for software guys to find some time to work on our boards. It was so frustrating, that I decided to learn it and then, I had to share it …

So, today I am officially releasing a new online course which I hope will find many of you useful. Enjoy!

It’s still a lot of work, but I hope you will like it I have created a separate openrexkit.org domain just for OpenRex Education Open Source Project. I dream, that together we can create a large community which will help teaching the next generations of young engineers, programmers, thinkers and creators. However, I can not do this alone
