Debian BSP v2014-03-18 for DIMM-MX6
- first release
- The Freescale i.MX6 SoC can demand a lot of power from the power supply. Therefore emtrion designed a new base board Cadun which can handle the demands of our DIMM-MX6. If you already purchased a Verno with DIMM-MX6 and your application needs more power than Verno can deliver, you can contact us to exchange it with a Cadun. Because of mentioned power supply issues the Lothron base board should only be used, if you want to test a device, which can not be connected to Cadun. If you use Lothron please follow this guide. DIMM-MX6-Solo can be used without limitations on Lothron.
- When using HDMI only: the startup hang if a splash screen is shown b the bootloader on the HDMI interface. As a workaround disable the splash screen in U-Boot by removing the environment variable load_splashscreen.
- The software drivers for the USB OTG port are working successfully in device mode. But there is a load problem when the OTG port is used in host mode.
