Processors feature heterogeneous processing with ARM Cortex-A9 / M4 cores

Featuring heterogeneous processing with ARM Cortex-A9 and Cortex-M4 cores, Freescale i.MX 6SoloX processors are now available from Mouser stock. The devices are designed to enable secure and connected homes and vehicles for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The i.MX 6SoloX is the first ARM processor to use both the Cortex-A9 and Cortex-M4 cores. This provides the flexibility of a chip that can run a sophisticated OS with the Cortex-A9 and also provide real-time responsiveness and system control with the Cortex-M4 core. The i.MX 6SoloX incorporates four independently controlled resource domains for maximum effectiveness and security when portioning system resources such as memory and peripherals, says the company.
