The X6818 development board consists of the stamp hole core board, base plate and LCD panel. The core board is designed using the 8-layer plate process to ensure stability and reliability, and can be used in a lot fields such as tablet PC, car engine, learning machine, POS machine, game machine and industry monitoring in batches. The base plate reserves abundant peripherals and can demonstrate almost all the functions of 6818 chip. The 7-inch TFT LCD is adopted by default and supports RGB, and any MIPI interface can be selected. The X6818 development board reserves an infrared integrated receiving head. Plus the free TV play software such as TogicVideo, it is a quad-core TV set top box with excellent performance and can completely replace the cable TV at home and the set top box bought from the market.
