We have problem with very hot IMX6 solo CPU. When load CPU about 20%, internal temperature 55-65 degrees. We don't use any video applications. From document

i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Power

Consumption Measurement

must be normaly temperature of analog CPU more less. For ex. for mp3 playback = 36 degrees.

So, we need help!

We are facing the same issue : our I.MX6 dual lite is charged at 20% but is still quit hot and the core temperature is around 60°C.

During "heavy" but normal operations the core temperature is reaching 105°C and the µC reboots. We already have installed an heatsink but regarding the temperature and the µC load we are now focussing on hardware issues but without succes.

Hi Mikhail

gpu and vpu also may contribute to increasing temperature, it may be useful

to look at AN4509 i.MX6Dual/6Quad Power Consumption Measurement

https://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/app_note/AN4509.pdf 

and AN4579 i.MX6 Series Thermal Management Guidelines

Best regards
igor
