INTRODUCTION
1.1
Purpose
This document is the Hardware User Guide for the i.MX6 SODIMM System On Module based on the NXP
’s
i.MX6
Applications Processor with PMIC. This board is fully supported by iWave Systems Technologies Pvt. Ltd. This Guide
provides detailed information on the overall design and usage of the i.MX6 SODIMM System On Module from a
Hardware Systems perspective.
1.2
SODIMM SOM Overview
The i.MX6 SODIMM SOM is extension of i.MX6 CPU. Also with the SOM approach one can reduce the cost and time
required for the development of customised solution on i.MX6 SODIMM platform. SODIMM module has a form
factor of 67.6mm x 37mm and provides the functional requirements for an embedded application. A single
ruggedized SODIMM connector provides the carrier board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the
SODIMM module.
