3.1
Freescale i.MX6 application processor
The i.MX6 Solo/Dual/Quad processors feature Freescale’s
advanced implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore,
which operates at speeds up to 1.2 GHz. They include 2D and
3D graphics processors, 1080p video processing, and
integrated power management. As a result, the i.MX6 devices
are able to serve a wide range of applications including:
●
Automotive driver assistance, driver information, and
infotainment
●
Multimedia-centric smart mobile devices
●
Instrument clusters, and portable medical devices.
●
E-Readers, smartbooks, tablets
●
Intelligent industrial motor control, industrial
networking, and machine vision
●
IP and Smart camera
●
Human-machine interfaces
●
Medical diagnostics and imaging
●
Digital signage
●
Video and night vision equipment
