You can measure the processor junction temperature by entering the following shell command:
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
Note Depending on the operating system, the junction temperature is displayed in milli °C or °C.
The ConnectCore 6 multichip module was designed to provide customers with unique options to
simplify and support the implementation of thermal management approaches in their designs, as
needed:
The ConnectCore 6 offers a fully shielded design (including internal thermal compounds) with
n
optimized heat transfer and heat spreading for specific internal components (processor and
PMIC). It is ideally suited for more efficient heat dissipation by providing a single, uniform
surface for thermal management via enclosures, heat sinks or other means.
The surface mount design of the ConnectCore 6 allows for additional dissipation of heat
n
through the carrier board it is mounted on.
Evaluation of the ConnectCore 6 thermal performance has successfully demonstrated that the
ambient operating temperatures specified can be supported by the module. However, actual
ambient operating temperature performance may vary and is highly dependent on the specific
use-case, such as enclosure design, system design, i.MX6 processor variant, GPU/VPU activity,
and on-module peripherals used. Your specific system design and application may require
additional thermal management such as passive (heatsink/-spreader) or active (airflow)
cooling at elevated temperatures.

CAUTION!
passive (heatsink/spreader) or active (airflow) cooling to achieve the maximum operating
temperature without exceeding the processor junction temp limit.

application.
