i.MX6 System on Modules - NXP/Freescale


i.MX6 System on Modules

Toradex’s iMX6 based System on Modules utilize NXP/Freescale i.MX 6 SoC, which is a truly scalable multicore platform. This System on Chip is based on the ARM® Cortex™-A9 architecture that includes single-core, dual-core, and quad-core processors. The NXP/Freescale iMX6 based Computer on Modules can be used for developing end-products targeted at consumer, industrial, and automotive markets.

NXP/Freescale i.MX 7 Computer on Modules - Colibri i.MX 7


Colibri-imx7-Freescale-NXP-System-on-Modules


Colibri NXP/Freescale iMX7 is SODIMM sized System on Module based on NXP®/Freescale i.MX 7Solo and NXP®/Freescale i.MX 7Dual SoCs respectively. The dual core ARM® Cortex®-A7 runs a peak frequency of 1GHz, while the single core ARM Cortex-M4 has a peak frequency of 200MHz. In Colibri iMX7S, the single core Cortex-A7 has a peak frequency of 800MHz, while the single core Cortex-M4 runs at 200MHz. Both the SoCs support asymmetric or heterogeneous multi-core processing, in which the real time applications can run on the Cortex-M4, while the user applications are taken care by Cortex-A7. The SoCs consume very low power and supports advanced security features.

Windows 10 IoT Core: From the Embedded Device to the Cloud and Back


Toradex - Embedded World - 2016

Today’s powerful and dedicated devices are successfully replacing PCs. They offer more dependable, inexpensive and less power-consuming solutions. To deal with current requirements about rich user interfaces, connectivity, and security, embedded developers require tools that will be more productive, while offering reliable and scalable solutions. Windows 10 IoT can run on resource-constrained devices, providing a good share of the features that Windows 10 provides on PCs, smartphone and tablets. This will let existing PC and mobile developers migrate their existing solutions easily and apply their knowledge to the embedded domain. Using Visual Studio, developers can use the same development environment from the device to the cloud, and use popular languages (like C# and javascript), tools and technologies to develop end-to-end Internet of Things solutions.

If you find this discussion interesting, join Valter Minute for his speaker session on ‘Windows 10 IoT Core: From the Embedded Device to the Cloud and Back’ during the Embedded World 2016. Valter is a Microsoft MVP who works for Toradex AG, Switzerland. He is a published author of numerous technical articles and a book about Raspberry Pi, along with being a regular speaker at developer conferences.

Webinar: Embedded Linux Boot Time Optimization




Did you miss out on joining us for our last webinar? We have made this webinar available on-demand for you so that you can watch it at your convenience. Watch it to know about the various ways using which you can reduce the system boot time on Linux. We will describe how to optimize the boot times of a Linux-based system using a software stack built with OpenEmbedded. We will also be demonstrating various boot optimization techniques that will in turn help you attain significantly faster boot times. We will also show you different tools that you can use to monitor the boot times. You will also learn optimization techniques for the software stack using Toradex Colibri VF61, which is a NXP/Freescale® Vybrid-based Computer on Module.
