Single board computer with nxp i.mx6 processor

2.1 Introduction

SBC-A62-J is a Single Board Computer, measuring just 110 x 86.5 mm (4.5" x 3.7") based on embedded NXP i.MX6 processors, an ARM

processor, Single-, Dual- and Quad-Core, with frequencies up to 1GHz, which is ideal for applications requiring multimedia capabilities and/or high levels of parallel

computing maintaining advantages offered by low-power consuming ARM architecture in an extremely reduced space.

Graphics features of the board are managed directly by NXP i.MX6 processors, which integrate up to three separated accelerators for 2D, OpenGL

and OpenVG , giving the processor incredible graphical performances (OpenVG accelerator is not available with i.MX6 Solo and Dual Lite processors).

The board is able to support up to 3 independent displays (with i.MX6DP Dual Core and i.MX6Q Quad core processor), which can be driven through the HDMI

connector and/or the LVDS connector. LVDS interface is also able to drive one 18/24 bit Single / Dual Channel display as well as two independent 18/24 bit

Single Channel displays. Using i.MX6 Dual Lite and Solo processors, support is limited to 2 independent displays.

The board is completed with up to 1GB DDR3L (up to 512MB with i.MX6 Solo) directly soldered on board, and one eMMC Flash Disk, directly accessible like any

standard Hard Disk, with up to 16GB of capacity. Mass storage capabilities are completed by the SATA connector (with i.MX6DP and i.MX6Q processors only),

which can be used to connect any external SATA disk, and a microSD Card slot.

RGMII i.MX6 native interface is internally carried to a Micrel KSZ9031RN Ethernet Transceiver, allowing the implementation of a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

USB native port is carried to an USB2.0 USB Hub controller, which allows implementing two standard USB 2-0 Type A ports, an internal USB port on dedicated

connector, and another USB port on a 6-pin or 7-pin female header, intended for the connection of optional WiFi modules.

The i.MX6 OTG port, instead, is carried to a USB micro-B connector, thus supporting the client mode only functionality.

An embedded AC'97 Audio Codec, then, manages two audio jacks for LineOut and Mic in.

The standard functionalities of this board are then completed by a 32-pin expansion connector, which carries out directly 28 signals coming from the i.MX6

processor. These signals can all be used as Generic Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs). Due to the pin multiplexing possibilities offered by the i.MX6 processor,

however, it is possible to use some groups of these pins to implement other functionalities, like 3 x UARTs (which can also be offered with RS-232 or RS-485

interface), SPI, 2 x CAN interfaces and more.

It is possible to have the board in EXTREME version, where all the components mounted onboard are certified to work in industrial range, therefore the board is

specifically developed to work in range -40°C ÷ +85°C..

Please refer to following chapter for a complete list of all peripherals integrated and characteristics. Not all combinations of these features are offered

simultaneously; please visit SECO's website for a description of standard configuration modules offered. Configurations different from the standard offered must be

evaluated singularly; please contact a SECO's sales representative / distributor for this.
