NXP/Freescale i.MX6 application processor

The i.MX6 Solo/Dual/Quad processors feature NXP/Freescale's
advanced implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore, which
operates at speeds up to 1.2 GHz. They include 2D and 3D graphics
processors, 1080p video processing, and integrated power management.
As a result, the i.MX6 devices are able to serve a wide range of
applications including:
● Automotive driver assistance, driver information, and infotainment
● Multimedia-centric smart mobile devices
● Instrument clusters, and portable medical devices.
● E-Readers, smartbooks, tablets
● Intelligent industrial motor control, industrial networking, and
● IP and Smart camera
● Human-machine interfaces
● Medical diagnostics and imaging
● Digital signage
● Video and night vision equipment
● Multimedia-focused products
● Entertainment and gaming appliances
