| Technical Details |
The Apalis iMX6 is a small form-factor Computer on Module/System on Module that comes in both quad core and dual core versions based on NXP (formerly Freescale) i.MX 6Q and NXP i.MX 6D SoCs respectively. The Cortex A9 quad core and dual core CPU peaks at 1 GHz for commercial temperature variant, while the industrial temperature variant has a peak frequency of 800 MHz.
The NXP (formerly Freescale) i.MX 6 based Apalis iMX6 System on Module targets a wide range of industrial applications, including: Automotive & Infotainment, Navigation, Industrial Automation, HMIs, Avionics, Robotics, and much more.
The module exposes wide range of industrial interfaces including CAN, UART, I2C, USB, PCIe, SATA, and many more.
Apalis iMX6 is a reference platform for Qt for Device Creation. For more details, check here
Based on the valuable input of our customers and our engineers‘ in-depth industry expertise, Apalis brings to market many new technologies. Direct Breakout™ considerably simplifies routing of high speed signals on the baseboard. MXM SnapLock™ provides a unique connector mechanism for module fixation. Apalis also comes with support for ready-made passive cooling solutions for the most demanding applications.
Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Windows Embedded Compact and Embedded Linux on the NXP i.MX 6 processor based Colibri and Apalis iMX6 SoMs. This allows system designers to focus the application instead of focusing on the OS and low-level device drivers. Other OS such as QNX and Android are supported by our partners.
Toradex Colibri and Apalis iMX6 modules come with the pre-installed Toradex Easy Installer which offers an easy one-click installation of either Linux or Windows BSPs.
For general information about the advantages and features, check our Toradex Easy Installer page.
Toradex carries out in-house development and maintenance of a Yocto project-compatible production-quality Embedded Linux BSP. Our extensive documentation and support makes sure your product reaches market in time. Full source code and Toradex developments are up-streamed into mainline.
For general information about the advantages and features, check our Embedded Linux page.
Windows Embedded Compact 7 and 2013 are supported on both Colibri and Apalis iMX6. The development and maintenance is carried out in-house by Toradex. WEC allows you to use Microsoft .Net Compact Framework and Visual Studio. Microsoft is providing support and updates for Embedded Compact 2013 until year 2028.
The price of the Colibri and Apalis iMX6 modules includes a runtime license for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 Entry (C13Entry) which is backward compatible to earlier Windows CE versions.
For general information about advantages and features, check our Windows Embedded Compact page.
QNX on NXP i.MX 6-based modules is supported by our service partner Triadem.
Triadem will be soon offering a QNX demo image for Colbiri iMX6.
