IMX6 Quad and Dual Pin Compability

Greetings,

The question is in the title, are IMX6 Quad and Dual pin compatible? Planning to build 2 versions of a product for some cost reductions.

It would be helpful if that is the case.

Best Regards,

Mete

Hello Atilla,

Yes, the i.MX6 Quad/Dual and Solo Lite are Pin a Pin Compatible and Software Compatible. This is one of the advantages of the i.MX6 Family.

Have a great day,
Jaime

Hello Jaime,

Just to clarify, IMX6Quad, IMX6Dual, IMX6DualLite, IMX6Solo and IMX6 SoloLite are all pin compatible? Not just

IMX6Q-D-S within each other and IMX6DL-SL witihin each other independently?

Thanks,

Mete

Hi,

As per datasheet "For Quad core system, connect to VDD_ARM_IN. For Dual core system, may be shorted to GND together with
VDD_ARM23_CAP to reduce leakage." Now I have made a design with Quad core and i would like to replace with Dual core and I have connected VDD_ARM23_IN with VDD_ARM_IN, and I havn't put an option for connecting with GND.

What should i do now?

What are the other changes i need to do while to have compatibility for Dual core and Quad core?

Regards,

Mrudang
