BOUNDARY devises Nitrogen6X SOM i.MX6 ARM System on Module

Overview

The Nitrogen6X-SOM is a low cost, highly integrated System-on-Module based on the Freescale i. mx6 Single/Dual/Quad-Core CPU. The SOM is ideal for customers looking for rapid product development while maintaining the flexibility of a custom design. The Nitrogen6X-SOM has a wide variety of peripheral options including Gigabit Ethernet, multiple display channels, and PCIe. Highlights of the SOM:

• Single/Dual/Quad-Core ARM® Cortex A9 processor at 1GHz
• 1GByte of 64-bit wide DDR3 @ 532MHz – Expandable
• Three display ports (PRGB, LVDS, and HDMI)
• Two camera ports (1xParallel, 1x MIPI CSI-2)
• Multi-stream-capable HD video engine delivering H.264 1080p60 decode,1080p30 encode and 3-D video playback in HD
• Triple Play Graphics system consisting of a Quad-shader 3D unit, and a separate 2-D and separate OpenVG Vertex acceleration engine for superior 3D, 2D and user interface acceleration
• Serial ATA 2.5 (SATA)
• SDIO Interface
• PCIe
• 10/100/Gb Ethernet
• 2 High speed USB ports (1xHost, 1xOTG)
• 1xCAN2 port
• I2C
• General Purpose I/O for Device Control
• Industrial Temperature versions available
• Small Size (2.25” x 2.5”)

SOM Pin Out

Changes from Rev 1:

1. Pin 158 is now coming from SD1_CLK
2.  Added configurable RNET option (RN1 and RN2):

The SOM utilizes a 200pin SODIMM edge connector to interface to the carrier board. The part number is TE 1473005-1. SODIMM pin information:

40 pin XF2M-4015-1 Connector

Electrical Characteristics

Nitrogen6X_SOM requires a single +5V rail.

*The Power Consumption refers to a single board with no other peripherals plugged in.
