Where is the reference design of imx6 solo?

[翔李]

HI,

I am going to design a car-application production on imx6 solo,there is no imx6 solo sch and pcb on nxp's web,but has imx6 soloX. So,If I use imx6 solo,Can I usr the sch and pcb of imx6solo X?

Thanks.

Hello,

  You may use i.MX6 DL design as base

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2&appType=license&Parent_nodeId=... 

Summary Page :

SABRE|Automotive-Infotainment|i.MX6|NXP 

  Also, please refer to app note AN4397 (Common Hardware Design for i.MX 6Dual/6Quad and i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite)

thanks.

where is sch migration of IMX6 series，especial about imx6 solo and duallite?

Is it last email AN4397?

Also, please refer to app note AN4397 (Common Hardware Design for i.MX 6Dual/6Quad and i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite)

Hello,

   because of pin-to-pin compatibility - no need for migration : just common design is available.

Yuri.

But I already design a production on IMX6Q ,Now I am going to design a new board on imx6 solo,So,Is it pin-to-pin compatibility between imx6Q and imx6 solo on sch and pcb?

What is the difference between Q and solo in sch and pcb design?

[Yuri]

Please follow the app note  AN4397.

I am not sure Which sch for me to refer for designing imx6 solo is the best choice?

1:what is the difference between SCH-28605_B1.DSN and SCH-28605_B1_16P2 in 《SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2.zip》?Which sch, for me to refer for designing imx6 solo? Also in other SABRE zip.

2:what is the difference between SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES.zip and SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2.zip?   SABRE-AI-BASE_BOARD.zip and SABRE-AI-BASEBOARD,zip?

also,what is the difference between 《SABRE-AI-DUALLITE-CPU2.zip》and 《SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2....SABRE_AI_DualLite_CPU2》?

Hello,

Please look at my comments below.

1.

> what is the difference between SCH-28605_B1.DSN and SCH-28605_B1_16P2

  File SCH-28605_B1_16P2 is in so called OrCad 16.2 format - it is more suitable

for importing for other CADS.

2.

> what is the difference between SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES.zip and

> SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2.zip?

SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES is based on MX6 Quad Plus

SABRE_AI_DESIGNFILES_CPU2 - on MX6 Quad and Duallite

Yuri.

THANKS.

What's more,I did not find the boot mode list of imx6solo,where is the detail boot mode setting list，EIM_XXXX?

I am going to boot from 32MBYTE-SPI NOR FALSH orTFcard-SD2.

Hello,

  Please refer to Table 8-20 (Serial ROM Boot eFUSE Descriptions) of i.MX6 S/DL RM.
Also, please use Table 8-23 (SPI IOMUX Pin Configuration) regarding pins using - looks

like - is OK in Your case. Note, QSPI is not supported by i.MX6 S/DL.

Yuri.
