i.MX6 Nano SOM

I.MX6 system on module (imx6 Nano SoM)

The imx6 SOM (i.MX6 Nano SOM or I.MX6 system on module) is a small footprint i.MX6 system on module measuring 44mm * 26 mm, which can be used directly in your end product design. The I.MX6 system on module (iMX6 SOM) and i.MX6 development platform are designed using a micro-BGA (0.4mm Pitch 12mm x 12mm) i.MX6Q SoC using PoP (Package on Package) memory assembly to ensure compact package.

The I.MX6 system on module and i.MX6 Development Platform together form an ideal to kick-start  design and development for devices requiring small foot-print and high processing power.
