MOP500 development board

Mali™-400 GPU and Dual Cortex-A9

Maximise your application throughput with the powerful multi-threaded ARMv7 architecture and Mali-400 GPU. Run complex algorithms and take advantage of OpenGLES shading capabilities for your game, user interface, browser or even 3D mapping software.

An open platform for fast development

Order your board and get developing with the confidence that you are working with all the benefits of an open source eco system combined with easy access to drivers and Open GL ES resources in the Mali Developer Center.

Write your end user application even before production devices are available

Capitalize on your code development from the very first day by developing on early hardware. Write, debug and fine tune your game, application or user interface even before devices go into production.
