Selection Guide
The i.MX 6ULL is recommended for applications requiring:
- Moderate processing power with low cost
- Linux-based applications with GUI requirements
- Mature ecosystem and long-term availability (10+ years)
- Good multimedia capabilities but not requiring high-end 3D graphics
- Industrial temperature range operation
For applications with lower performance needs, consider the i.MX 6UL, or for higher performance, consider the i.MX 8M family. For real-time applications, consider the i.MX RT series.
