¹ Power consumption measurements have been done in iWave’s i.MX
6 Quad CPU based SODIMM SOM
with iWave’s
Generic SODIMM Carri
er board running iWave’s
Linux3.14.38 BSP (iW-PREPZ-DF-01-R2.0-REL1.0-Linux3.14.38).
² Only i.MX6 CPU related power management is implemented in the BSP for low power modes.
³ i.MX6 RTC controller draws more power from VCC_RTC coin cell power input and so could drain the coin cell faster.
