Multiplexing
Most of the i.MX 6 processor pins have multiple signal options. These
signal to pin and pin to signal options are selected by the input output
multiplexer called IOMUX. The IOMUX enables flexible IO multiplexing
and is also used to configure other pin characteristics, such as voltage
level, drive strength, and hysteresis. Each IO pad has default and up to
seven alternate functions, which are software configurable.
Please refer to the following sections of the i.MX6 APRM for further
information pin assignment:
● chapter 4 "External Signals and Pin Multiplexing"
● section 4.1 "Pin assignments"
● section 4.2 "Muxing options"
● chapter 36 "IOMUX Controller (IOMUXC)"
