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.

Why Freescale Sabre Smart i.MX6 Solo X SD2 slot do not detect SD card insertion / removal while SD3 does? 1.   How SDIO detection works on i.MX6?      First, we checked how the i.MX6 CPU detect SDIO card insertion / removal.      Freescale i.MX6 Solo X Reference Manual (IMX6SXRM.pdf) Section 68.4.7 "Card Insertion and Removal Detection" says that;           "The uSDHC uses either the DATA3 pin or the CD_B pin to detect card      insertion or removal. When there is no card on the MMC/SD bus, the      DATA3 will be pulled to a low voltage level by default"     "When the DATA3 pin is not used for card detection (for example,      it is implemented in GPIO), the CD_B pin must be connected for card      detection. Whether DATA3 is configured for card detection or not,      the CD_B pin is always a reference for card detection." Based on this description, It seems that DATA3 is used for card detection. But it isn't. 2.  Implementation on Sabre i.MX6 SoloX We checked voltage on DATA3(PIN1) on both SD2 and SD3 slot when card is not inserted. Both were 3.3V. Neither SD2 nor SD3 DATA3 was "pulled to a low voltage level by default".      Then, we checked CD pin. In the case of SD3, it was 3.3V when card is not inserted, then fall to 0V when card is inserted. That cause card detection. In the case of SD2, CD pin was all time 0V. Sabre i.MX6SX Schematic confirms that CD pin of SD2 slot is not connected to anywhere (see attached image).                                                     Sabre SoloX SD2                                                                                                                                                               Sabre SoloX SD3 "CD(Card Detect)" is not a SDIO pin. SDIO has only 9pins, where 9 DAT2 1 DAT3 2 CMD 3 VSS1 (GND) 4 VDD 5 CLK 6 VSS2 (GND) 7 DAT0 8 DAT1 - CD (Card Detection) and WP (Write Protect) are function of SD slot connector, not function of SDIO bus. 3.  Implementation on Sabre i.MX6Q We checked i.MX6Q Sabre Smart. Again, DATA3 (pin1) voltage was 3.3V both on SD2 and SD3. Schematic shows there are register pattern prepared to pull down DATA3, but both R549 on SD3 and R667 SD3 are not populated (DNP) as default.                                                           Sabre i.MX6Q SD2                                                                                                                                                     Sabre i.MX6Q SD3  4.  Conclusion From this we can infer that Freescale reference design (Sabre i.MX6Q and i.MX6SX) do not use DATA3 for SDIO detection, as it appears to have been described in the reference manual. Both Sabre i.MX6Q and i.MX6SX solely relies on CD(Card Detect) signal from SDIO connector. In the case of SD2 slot on i.MX6SX, CD signal is not connected to anywhere.There where unpopulated DATA3 pull-down register pattern prepared on Sabre i.MX6Q, but it is omitted from i.MX6SX. Which makes card insertion / removal detection on Sabre i.MX6SX SD2 slot difficult.

     The document will give a reference design for those i.MX6 users who wants to use GPIO to control relays. Actually, it is not difficult to reach the purpos on hardware design, But if hardware engineer doesn't notice the PAD status after Power On Reset, Relays will produce unexpected action, For example, if using those pins with "PU 100K"(Pull Up by 100K), or "keeper", After power on and before system booting, relays begin to be operated(unexpected close or open)     In recent days, one of imx6 user encoutered the similar issues when she debugged "GPIO control 32-channel relay output). So I drew a schematic on hwo to design Isolated GPIO, and how to use GPIO to contorl 24V-relay. In schematic, 8-channel GPIOs & Relays were supported.     From i.mx6 datasheet, we can find most of PADs' status are "PU 100K", so in schematic, 8 GPIOs are all those PADs with "PU 100K". The following is design requirement: (1) Turth table. GPIO output  1 -------Relay  Close GPIO output  0 -------Relay  Open GPIO default 0 ------ Relay  Open (2) GPIO should be Islated by optocoupler (3) 8-Channel ,24V digital signals output See attachment, please! Schematic is reference for i.mx6 users! If you have some questions or good advice on the design, you can submit case to me by our official website. NXP TIC Weidong Sun Email: [email protected]

Вебинар по продукции TechNexion "Процессорные платы на базе iMX6 (ARM)" OK, maybe not everyone of you speak Russian. For example I don't speak. But I know there is a big Russian community out there, developing great stuff just like the rest of us by using ARM Processors. This Friday Ilya from IPC2U will hold a Webinar to give a Technical overview about the capabilities ARM processors have and how you can use them in today's world. I had a chat with Ilya and he told me he is planing to give a overview why ARM now is more suitable to be used in many different industrial areas due to increased capabilities and the increased usability of Linux. I had the luck that Ilya gave me an overview about what he will present, so even my Russian is limited (limited as in 'non existing') I still get some useful updates, even for me. The Link to register is here: http://ipc2u.ru/news/webinars/processornye-moduli-na-imx6-arm/ It's at 11:30 Moscow time (I guess, please check link above) and the Agenda is like this: Темы вебинара: Что такое ARM Семейство процессоров iMX6 на базе архитектуры ARM Cortex-A9 О компании TechNexion Обзор продукции компании TechNexion (встраиваемые системы, панельные компьютеры) Подробный обзор процессорных модулей формата PICO Talking with Ilya he told me this Agenda is roughly and he will cover like this: -ARM overview -ARM for industrial usage -NXP and it’s ARM i.MX6 Processors -TechNexion Product overview -TechNexion PICO Modules in detail -Q&A I don't know if there is a limit in maximum people to attend but 1h ago Ilya told me he is overwhelmed by the sign up rate of people... ..so you better hurry if you speak Russian and want join! Hey you are attending? Tell me here how it was after it, ok? Looking forward to hear from you Florian P.S.: I work for TechNexion. Thats the Company IPC2U is talking about in this Webinar, just to be clear about that. Me: florian12​​
