The i.MX 6 series of applications processors combines scalable platforms with broad levels of integration and power-efficient processing capabilities particularly suited to multimedia applications. The i.MX 6Solo processor features:

  • Enhanced capabilities of high-tier portable applications by fulfilling MIPS needs of operations systems and games
  • Multilevel memory system
  • Smart speed technology that enables the designer to deliver a feature-rich product, requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations
  • Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
  • Powerful graphics acceleration
  • Interface flexibility
  • Integrated power management throughout the device
  • Advanced hardware-enabled security

The i.MX 6Solo is supported by companion power management ICs (PMIC) MMPF0100, MMPF0200 and PF3001.

i.MX 6 applications processors are part of NXP's EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
