Hi,
The SCM IMX6D/Q board heats up a lot when using GPU. It is consistent across Linux and Android.
Linux build : imx-4.1.15-2.0.0_ga release
Android : Marshmallow 6.0.1_2.1.0
On Linux, when I run glmark2 (multiple instances), the CPU reaches > 85C in ~ 5 minutes
On Android, I run skycastle (a GPU benchmark) and the CPU reaches > 85C in less than a minute.
Are there any heatsink solutions available for this SCM IMX6 board ?
What is the recommended thermal solution for a POP package ? (Is there any documentation for that)
To design a heatsink, We would like to know the thermal resistance of the Processor + POP package combination
Thanks,
Ganesh
Try to operate the chip in LDO bypass mode to save power consumption and reduce thermal under high load:
Hello Ganesh,
There is some information regarding the SCM thermal profile but I’m afraid it’s not publicly available so it cannot be shared on this Communities. Would you please open a Case on nxp.com/support to receive the available information?
