Toradex is thrilled to announce the arrival of the newest member in its Apalis family of computer-on-modules, the Apalis iMX6. The module is based on Freescale i.MX 6 series of SoC, runs a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, and offers an operating frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. Apart from the benefits of long term product availability (of more than 10 years), and compatibility with the existing Apalis T30 module, this module is also qualified for industrial temperature range -40° C to 85° C. More details including datasheet shall be published by the last week of February. For a preliminary look at the datasheet, please click here. For more details on Apalis family, click here.

MYIR, a Chinese company focused on providing ARM based products and design services for embedded applications, has introduced a high-performance, cost-effective NXP i.MX 6UltraLite / 6ULL based ARM Cortex-A7 single board computer MYS-6ULX, especially targeting Industry 4.0 (Industrie 4.0) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Measuring only 70mm by 55mm, the MYS-6ULX has DDR3, Nand Flash, USB, Ethernet, TF, LCD and more other core components and peripheral interfaces integrated on the tiny board. Furthermore, it has two 2.0mm pitch 2x20-pin headers on board to bring out as many as signals for user extensions. The MYS-6ULX single board computer has MYS-6ULX-IND and MYS-6ULX-IOT two different models, which are respectively for Industry 4.0 and IoT applications. The two boards share the same hardware circuit design and are fully compatible in software. The MYS-6ULX-IND is built around the i.MX 6UL processor family and can support -40 to +85 Celsius extended temperature operation, which makes the board more suitable for industrial control and communication applications. The MYS-6ULX-IOT is based on the i.MX 6ULL processor family and has additionally a USB based WiFi module with antenna on the board. MYIR has ported Linux 4.1.15 for the board with Debian distribution as well as Yocto project with ported QT. MYIR has also provided an interesting demo to enable customers to experience Amazon Alexa Voice Service. Additionally, MYIR will offer optional LCD modules, camera modules, GPS module, GPRS module and expansion base board to add functionality to the boards. MYIR offers ultra-low cost for the boards, pricing at $31.8/pc for MYS-6ULX-IND and only $28.8/pc MYS-6ULX-IOT. MYS-6ULX-IND Single Board Computer MYS-6ULX-IOT Single Board Computer

Imx6 can output lvds direct.But the lvds-wire is too expensive to buy. So they can cannect ds90ub947 serializer to applied in automotive instrumentation. By the way, it need a ds90ub948 deserializer in the remote which cannect a lvds displayer. The attachment is the driver of ds90ub947/948 for linux.It can support linux 3.10 and above.It was verified working on linux 3.10.53 and imx6q. The attachment list: ds90ub947.c ds90ub947.h readme.txt You can follow the readme to use it. This driver was barely in embryo.You should modify it according to your application. Sometime, it very looks like the ds90ub913/914 and max9286/96705.

TensorFlow Provides a very simple ML by Java Script. It is easy to have the environment to see it demo. This document is to introduce it. The formula to get the training data We have a formula Y = 2X – 1 to get the training data example: let x=-1 then Y = 2*-1 – 1 = -2 – 1 = -3 x = { -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4} y = {-3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7} Build up a very simple network model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [1]})); This network will get training and predict the result for Y = 2X – 1 Should remind you here is the Machine do NOT know about the formula. It cannot calculate like us. The complete code <html> <head>   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tensorflow/tfjs@0.11.2"> </script> </head> <body> <div id="output_field"></div> <div id="output_field1"></div> </body> <script> async function learnLinear(){ const model = tf.sequential(); model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [1]})); model.compile({ loss: 'meanSquaredError', optimizer: 'sgd' }); const xs = tf.tensor2d([-1, 0, 1, 2, 3,4], [6, 1]); const ys = tf.tensor2d([-3, -1, 1, 3, 5,7], [6, 1]); await model.fit(xs, ys, {epochs: 500}); document.getElementById('output_field').innerText = model.predict(tf.tensor2d([10], [1, 1])); } learnLinear(); </script> <html> Adjust the training to see what happen We will go to change the following code to adjust the training, then let machine tell the result for X = 10 to see if the training result is different or not. The result by calculation is Y = 2X – 1 = 2X10 -1 = 19 await model.fit(xs, ys, {epochs: 10}); We will try 10, 100, 500 and 1500. The result summary Y = 2X – 1 = 2X10 -1 = 19 10 : 13.9085026, 10.9296398, 13.0426989, 12.0150528, 7.4879761 100 : 18.0845203, 17.7116661, 17.9885635, 17.9806786, 18.2209091 500 : 18.9848061, 18.983654, 18.9877472, 18.9812298, 18.9825478 1500 : 18.9999866, 18.9999866, 18.9999866, 18.9999866, 18.999986 With 1500 training, the machine can predict the result very closely. But it cannot reach the correct result 19. Because the machine doesn’t know about the formula Y = 2X - 1

It is capable of running Linux and Android OS and provided with plenty of software resources. Typical applications are for Industry Control, Smart City, Smart Home, HMI, Internet of Things (IoT), etc. Let’s see a video introduction of the MYD-C8MMX development board. https://youtu.be/FL_CZiSMYsM The MYC-C8MMX CPU Moduleis using the MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA (MIMX8MM6DVTLZAA) processor chip which is among the NXP i.MX 8M Mini family and combines advanced 14LPC FinFET process technology to provide more speed and improved power efficiency. It has a quad Cortex-A53 core which operates at speeds of up to 1.6 (1.8) GHz. It also has a general-purpose Cortex-M4 400 MHz core processor for low-power processing. Some parameters and target applications of the processor chip are listed below for reference. Parameter Value Core: Number of cores (SPEC) 4 Core Type Arm Cortex-A53 Operating Frequency [Max] (MHz) 1600 (MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA)/1800 (MIMX8MM6DVTLZAA) L2 Cache (Max) (KB) 512 Co-Processor Type Arm Cortex-M4F Co-Processor Frequency (MAX) (MHz) 400 External Memory Supported DDR3L SDRAM, DDR4 SDRAM, ECC, LPDDR4 DRAM, NAND FLASH, NOR FLASH, QSPI GPU 2D / GPU 3D 1x shader, Vivante GC320, Vivante GCNanoUltra MIMX8MM6CVTKZAA (MIMX8MM6DVTLZAA) processor The chip only has MIPI-DSI and MIPI-CSI interfaces and no HDMI or other display interfaces. It can support wide working temperature range from -40 to 105 Celsius degree. MYIR’s MYC-C8MMX CPU Module can support working temperature from -40 to 85 Celsius degree.

A number of peripheral and IO signals are access through two 0.8mm pitch 100-pin board-to-board expansion connectors. MYC-C8MMX CPU Module Top-view MYC-C8MMX CPU Module Bottom-view The MYD-C8MMX base board has mainly extended four parts: 1. Audio interface: added audio chip to extend Audio input and output interfaces 2. External power supply part: added one DC-DC power chip 3. Added one USB hub chip to extend 4 USB from the SoC USB interface, separately used for 4G LTE, two USB Host and one USB on expansion header. 4. Extend RTC module through I2C interface Many other peripheral interfaces are brought out for user extension. MYD-C8MMX Function Block Diagram MYD-C8MMX Interface Diagram Among so many interfaces, Backlight, LVDS LCD and MIPI interface are relative to display function. The Backlight interface has 6 pins including two power signals, two GND and two GPIO (one is enabled terminal to control the backlight power and another is PWM to control the brightness of backlight.) The two GPIO control terminals are from the GPIO1_01 and 08 of the i.MX 8M Mini. The LVDS LCD and MIPI interface, total 3 interfaces are for display. But actually i.MX 8M Mini only has one MIPI DSI interface. The other two LVDS interfaces are switched from DSI through one DS12LVDS bridge chip, one is single link LVDS and another is dual link LVDS. So, we can only select MIPI DSI display or LVDS display. Also, we can only select single link LVDS or dual link LVDS. MYIR offers optional LVDS based 7-inch LCD Module MY-LVDS070C including capacitive touch screen to work with the MYD-C8MMX board. The display resolution is up to 1024 by 600 pixels. MY-LVDS070C 7-inch LCD Module with Capacitive Touch Screen The MYD-C8MMX has one 2.0mm pitch 2*15-pin male expansion header. PDM and SAI are audio relative interfaces which are brought out from the expansion header.
