The i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite automotive and infotainment
processors represent the latest achievement in integrated
multimedia-focused products offering high-performance
processing with a high degree of functional integration.
These processors are designed considering the needs of
the growing automotive infotainment, telematics, HMI,
and display-based cluster markets.
The processors feature advanced implementation of
single/dual Arm
®
Cortex
®
-A9 core, which operates at
speeds of up to 1 GHz. They include 2D and 3D graphics
processors, 1080p video processing, and integrated
power management. Each processor provides a 32/64-bit
DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory interface and a
number of other interfaces for connecting peripherals,
such as WLAN, Bluetooth
®
, GPS, hard drive, displays,
and camera sensors.

Introduction
The i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite processors are specifically useful for applications such as:
• Automotive navigation and entertainment
• Graphics rendering for Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• High-performance speech processing with large databases
• Audio playback
• Video processing and display
The i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite applications processors feature:
• Multilevel memory system—The multilevel memory system of each processor is based on the L1
instruction and data caches, L2 cache, and internal and external memory. The processors support
many types of external memory devices, including DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, NOR Flash,
PSRAM, cellular RAM, NAND Flash (MLC and SLC), OneNAND™, and managed NAND,
including eMMC up to rev 4.4/4.41.
• Smart speed technology—The processors have power management throughout the IC that enables
the rich suite of multimedia features and peripherals to consume minimum power in both active
and various low power modes. Smart speed technology enables the designer to deliver a
feature-rich product, requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations.
• Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling—The processors improve the power efficiency of devices
by scaling the voltage and frequency to optimize performance.
• Multimedia powerhouse—The multimedia performance of each processor is enhanced by a
multilevel cache system, NEON™ MPE (Media Processor Engine) co-processor, a multi-standard
hardware video codec, an image processing unit (IPU), a programmable smart DMA (SDMA)
controller, and an asynchronous sample rate converter.
• Powerful graphics acceleration—Each processor provides two independent, integrated graphics
processing units: an OpenGL
®
ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator with a shader and a 2D graphics
accelerator.
• Interface flexibility—Each processor supports connections to a variety of interfaces: LCD
controller for up to two displays (including parallel display, HDMI1.4, MIPI display, and LVDS
display), dual CMOS sensor interface (parallel or through MIPI), high-speed USB on-the-go with
PHY, high-speed USB host with PHY, multiple expansion card ports (high-speed MMC/SDIO host
and other), 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet controller two CAN ports, ESAI audio interface,
and a variety of other popular interfaces (such as UART, I
2
C, and I
2
S serial audio, and PCIe-II).
• Automotive environment support—Each processor includes interfaces, such as two CAN ports, an
MLB150/50 port, an ESAI audio interface, and an asynchronous sample rate converter for
multichannel/multisource audio.
• Advanced security—The processors deliver hardware-enabled security features that enable secure
e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, secure boot, and secure
software downloads. The security features are discussed in detail in the
i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite
Security Reference Manual
(IMX6DQ6SDLSRM).
• Integrated power management—The processors integrate linear regulators and internally generate
voltage levels for different domains. This significantly simplifies system power management
structure.
