Apalis iMX6
The Apalis iMX6 is the second product in the new Apalis module family by Toradex. Complementing the existing Colibri module family, Apalis comes with a wide range of new and exciting features, ensuring customers can develop the most advanced, robust products with minimum overhead and risk. Apalis supports a huge variety of industry standard interfaces, while at the same time providing advanced multimedia and high speed connectivity making it suitable for an almost unlimited number of applications.
Highlights
Powered by NXP i.MX 6
Equipped with NXP i.MX 6Q and NXP i.MX 6D SoCs, the Arm Cortex-A9 cores are clocked at 1GHz for commercial temperature variants, while the industrial temperature variant has a peak frequency of 800 MHz.
High-speed interfaces
The module exposes a wide range of industrial interfaces including CAN, UART, I2C, USB, PCIe, SATA, and many more.
Ready for multimedia
With a 3D GPU, h.264 encoder and decoder and an integrated ISP, Apalis iMX6 is well suitable for multimedia. MIPI CSI-2, parallel and Gigabit Ethernet cameras are options for video capture, while for displaying an output you can drive multiple independent screens at once through RGB, HDMI and LVDS.
Simplified carrier board design
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.
Torizon for Remote Updates and Fleet Monitoring
The SoM is available with a tightly integrated Torizon Platform accelerating the development and maintaining your products. Some key features include highly secure and reliable remote updates, fleet monitoring and remote access.
Toradex Apalis Computer Module Family
The Apalis iMX6 is pin-compatible with the other CoMs in the Apalis family. This allows you to cost-optimize your design with no hardware redesign costs. All of Toradex's Apalis Carrier Boards are compatible with the Apalis iMX6. Extensive product documentation, developer support, service partners and third-party carrier boards build our strong Apalis ecosystem.
Operating Systems
Toradex offers free support and maintenance for Windows Embedded Compact and Embedded Linux on the 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.
