CPU module "SMARC" [LEC-iMX6R2]

NXP i.MX 6 Multicore Arm Cortex-A9 equipped SMARC short-size module

SMARC (Smart Mobility ARChitecture) is a multi-purpose small form factor computer module definition aimed at applications requiring low power, low cost, and high performance. The module typically uses the same or similar ARM SoCs found in many well-known devices such as tablet computers and smartphones. Alternative low-power SoCs and CPUs, such as tablet-oriented x86 devices and other RISC CPUs, can also be used. The power envelope of the module is usually less than 6W. The module serves as a building block for portable and stationary embedded systems. Core CPU and support circuitry, including DRAM, boot flash, power sequencing, CPU power, GBE, and single-channel LVDS display transmitters, are concentrated within the module. The module is used with application-specific carrier boards that implement other functionalities such as audio CODECs, touch controllers, and wireless devices.
