iMX8M mini SoM VS iMX6 SoM
Prior to the release of the NXP i.mx8 series, the imx6 series was the main force of the NXP imx series, used in industrial products, data acquisition, automotive products and other fields. In the age of the Internet of Everything, there are further requirements for products, more devices, faster processing speed, lower energy consumption, and constantly updated high-performance, low-power processors.
Forlinx launched FETMX8MM-C based on NXP i.MX8M Mini, which is an upgrade to FETMX6Q-C
Forlinx iMX6Q System on Module
Based on arm Cortex-A9 processors, FETMX6Q-C is equipped with quad-cores and can be up to 1.0GHz, with 2D, 3D graphics accelerators, 1080p30 video codecs, integrated IO, HDMI, MIPI, LVDS, USB, PCI-e, gigabit mesh and other interfaces, and can be expanded for embedded products in the consumer, industrial, and automotive sectors.
