VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL
NXP/Freescale iMX6
Staying on-trend with the market’s shift towards a cost-effective highly integrated off-the-shelf solution, the VAR-SOM-SOLO and VAR-SOM-DUAL from Variscite level the playing ground for a broad spectrum of embedded products. Bringing all the benefits of the widely successful VAR-SOM-MX6, the VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL from Variscite carries much smaller dimensions and a slim-lined price-point. Features include NXP/Freescale’s iMX6 Solo/Dual Lite core, 1GHz Cortex-A9, SLC NAND, eMMC, dual-band certified Wi-Fi/BT with MIMO, USB, Gigabit Ethernet, A/V interfaces and industrial operating temperatures.
The Dual and Quad core i.MX6 are supported by the VAR-SOM-MX6-V2 System on Module/ Computer on Module.
For the complete Pin2Pin product list, check the Variscite Pin2Pin System on Module families.
** The Pin2Pin compatibility depends on pinmux options; please verify the detailed pinout table in the related SoM to confirm compatibility is maintained in your specific design.
