i.MX6 Rex: A Powerful Open-Source Single-Board Computer

Author: Petr Šrámek

Do all those Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, and other boards feel underpowered?

Then you might like this open-source project. The idea came from Robert Feranec and Martin Murin in Slovakia. They designed a very powerful mini computer – powerful enough that “mini computer” hardly seems to fit.

A 4-core Freescale i.MX6 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 1x HDMI (2048 x 1536), 1x LVDS (1920×1200), 1x PCIe, 1x SATA, 1x SD, 1x MMC, 2x USB, 3x UART, 3x I2C, and 1x SPI.

The project includes a 70 x 40 mm core module.

All the peripherals mentioned are brought out to the baseboard.
