Preface
As a member of PHYTEC's new phyFLEX
®
product family the
phyFLEX-i.MX 6 is one of a series of PHYTEC System on Modules
(SOMs) that can be populated with different controllers and, hence,
offers various functions and configurations. PHYTEC supports a
variety of 8-/16- and 32-bit controllers in two ways:
(1) as the basis for Rapid Development Kits which serve as a
reference and evaluation platform
(2) as insert-ready, fully functional phyFLEX
®
OEM modules,
which can be embedded directly into the user’s peripheral
hardware design.
Implementation of an OEM-able SOM subassembly as the "core" of
your embedded design allows you to focus on hardware peripherals
and firmware without expending resources to "re-invent"
microcontroller circuitry. Furthermore, much of the value of the
phyFLEX
®
module lies in its layout and test.
PHYTEC's new phyFLEX
®
product family consists of a series of
extremely compact embedded control engines featuring various
processing performance classes while using the newly developed
phyFLEX
®
embedded bus standard. The standardized connector
footprint and pin assignment of the phyFLEX
®
bus makes this new
SOM generation extremely scalable and flexible. This also allows to
use the same carrier board to create different applications depending
on the required processing power. With this new SOM concept it is
possible to design entire embedded product families around vastly
different processor performances while optimizing overall system
cost. In addition, future advances in processor technology are already
considered with this new embedded bus standard making product
upgrades very easy. Another major advantage is the forgone risk of
potential system hardware redesign steps caused by processor or other
critical component discontinuation. Just use one of PHYTEC's other
phyFLEX
®
SOMs thereby ensuring an extended product life cycle of
your embedded application.
