DIMM-MX6: A recent bootloader is needed (v010 or newer)
This can be checked by the Bootloader Date printed on boot, should be 24th March 2015 or newer.
Known Issues
- 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.
- On modules with 2 GB RAM there is an issue with the GPU driver. This issue results in a reset triggered by the watchdog. As a workaround you can limit the used memory by adding the parameter mem=1536M to the kernel command line. The kernel command line is set through the file /boot/uboot_script. Search in this file for the string bootargs which represents the command line.
