CFA10036 Breakout Board
Part Number: CFA10037
Datasheets
Description
This carrier board is designed specifically for use with our CFA10036 module, giving you quick and easy access to all the input/output pins.
The CFA10037 ships with a 110VAC, +5v / 1.0A power supply

The CFA10037 gives access to all the port pins of the CFA10036, and by extension the port pins of the i.MX28. It also has a prototype area with solid power distribution. All of this is offered in a prototype-friendly 0.1" center format. We made a set of holes that line up with shields designed for an Arduino Uno R3.
By using 0.1" center headers and socketed hook-up wire, you can connect any of the pins on the CFA10036 to any location on the prototype area.
We did give you a hand with the Ethernet PHY and USB A connector, since those will commonly be used, and their PCB layout can be fussy.
For serious hardware-level debugging, signals are brought out for connection to a compatible JTAG debugger

Part Change Notice #10656: CFA10036, CFA10037, CFA10055, and CFA10056 parts are no longer available to be ordered separately. These parts are now bundled with an appropriate display, software to make a turn-key evaluation platform.
| Products Affected: | CFA-10036, CFA10037, CFA10055-8, CFA10056-4 |
| Date Issued: | May 19, 2015 |
| Summary: | CFA10036, CFA10037, CFA10055, and CFA10056 parts are no longer available to be ordered separately. These parts are now bundled with an appropriate display, software to make a turn-key evaluation platform. |
| Description: | We are releasing a set of pre-configured demonstration boards based on our CFA10036 and CFA10037 products. The new pre-configured parts are: CFA201 = CFA10055 + CFAF320480C4-035T (was CFA10055-4) CFA202 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA201 CFA203 = CFA10055 + CFAF320480C4-035T-TS (was CFA10055-8) CFA204 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA203 CFA205 = CFA10056 + CFAF480800FT2-040T (was CFA0056-4) CFA206 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA205 CFA207 = CFA10065 + CFAF480640A-035T CFA208 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA207 CFA209 = CFA10065 + CFAF480640B-035T-TS CFA210 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA209 As part of this roll-out, the CFA10036 and CFA10037 will no longer be available as stand alone products. The CFA920 and CFA921, which are also based on the CFA10036 are still available and in production. |
| Reason: | Easier to order (no configuration necessary) and lower price for the demonstration boards for the specified displays based on the CFA10036 and CFA10037. |
| Impact: | CFA10036 and CFA10037 availability will be very limited beyond CFA200 series parts. |
| Availability: | CFA10037, CFA10055, and CFA10056 based parts will not be available for order directly as of 2015-05-20. CFA200 series parts are available immediately. |
| Price Change: | The 200 series bundles are priced aggressively compared to the previous price for the same products configured under the old part numbers. See display part pages bundle pricing. |
Product Update #10588: R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor
| Products Affected: | CFA10037, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | May 22, 2014 |
| Summary: | R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor |
| Description: | R_MDIO needs populated with a 1.5K resistor so that the device gets properly set up by Linux on start-up. |
| Reason: | MDIO times out before it can be detected. |
| Recommendation: | 1. Install 1.5k pull-up to R_MDIO. Or 2. Use kernel version cfa-3.12.17, commit ID 2cbfe6e36266b82daac0a9e9aa92e0706e306411 located: https://github.com/crystalfontz/cfa_10036_kernel/tree/cfa-3.12.17 Please make sure you use the commit above if you decide to use this method. |
Product Update #10584: The Linux SOM family has had a kernel and a build update.
| Products Affected: | CFA-10036, CFA10037, CFA10055-8, CFA10056-4, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | April 28, 2014 |
| Summary: | The Linux SOM family has had a kernel and a build update. |
| Description: | Linux kernel update and build update. |
| Recommendation: | To access the new build please visit: http://images.crystalfontz.com/releases/ |
Product Update #10571: The CFA-10036 modules have been updated to include a heat shield to provide better thermal cooling for the i.MX28 processor.
| Products Affected: | CFA-10036, CFA10037, CFA921-TS, CFA920-TS |
| Date Issued: | October 30, 2013 |
| Summary: | The CFA-10036 modules have been updated to include a heat shield to provide better thermal cooling for the i.MX28 processor. |
| Reason: | To provide more efficient thermal cooling for the i.MX28 processor. |
