New TRITON-TX6Q module with Quad Core ARM Cortex-A9
The new TRITON-TX6Q is a complete system-on-module with four ARM Cortex-A9 cores, on a 31mm x 68mm module. Designed to bring the multimedia capability of smartphones and tablets to industrial applications, the TRITON-TX-6Q uses the Freescale i.MX6Q quad-core device and features industrial temperature support (-40C to +85C), pin-compatibility with the rest of Direct Insight’s TRITON-TX range which embraces 7 products including ARM9 and ARM Cortex-A8 based systems, and 10-year longevity.
FreeIn common with the rest of the TRITON-TX family, the TRITON-TX6Q slots into the StarterKit-5 baseboard for development, and full baseboard schematics are supplied to facilitate development of a custom baseboard. The StarterKit-5 offers a range of capacitive and resistive touch screens as options for development, and almost any screen can be supported in production. Advanced touch and gesture-based HMIs can be developed using Microsoft Silverlight, or a wide range of UI systems which sit on top of Linux.
The TRITON-TX6Q offers 1GB to 2GB of high performance 64-bit DDR3-1066 RAM and 128MB NAND Flash. The module takes a single 3.0 to 5.5v supply and provides up to 1A output current 1.8V and 3.3V power outputs for use on the baseboard.
The TRITON-TX6Q is capable of the most demanding tasks, in a range of applications including medical devices, digital signage, security, and industrial multimedia products. The modules and development kits will be available from early Q1 2013.
