ConnectCore 6 SBC features and functionality
ConnectCore 6 Hardware Reference Manual 2
ConnectCore 6 SBC overview
The ConnectCore 6 SBC is a Pico-ITX board featuring the Digi ConnectCore 6 module that
integrates a Freescale i.MX6 application processor, DDR3 DRAM memory, eMMC memory, WLAN/
Bluetooth module, power management IC for optimized power consumption applications and a
programmable microcontroller assistant for supporting additional interfaces.
The ConnectCore 6 SBC provides a selection of I/O interfaces including two USB 2.0 ports, one
micro USB OTG connector, micro SD card slot, HDMI, audio jack for stereo audio output and a
Gigabit Ethernet port. All these connectors together with the main power connector are located
on the front edge of the board making them easily accessible if the board is assembled into an
enclosure.
The rear edge of the ConnectCore 6 SBC provides a great selection of multimedia connectors
including LVDS, MIPI CSI-2 camera, MIPI DSI display, 8-bit parallel camera and 24-bit parallel
display.
Additional on board connectors provide support for SATA interface with power supply, JTAG and
console debug ports, coin cell connector to supply the RTC, and expansion connectors for USB,
second LVDS, second 8-bit camera interface, two CAN ports, I2C, SPI, three UART ports, twelve
GPIOs and audio input and output.
The board provides a mini-PCIe socket for connecting full or half size PCI express mini cards. A
micro-SIM card is connected to the mini PCIe slot making the ConnectCore 6 SBC ready for a mini
PCIe cellular card.
The ConnectCore 6 SBC also has a connector for a Digi XBee module.
The board is powered from a single 5V DC supply. An overvoltage circuit protects the board from
input voltages up to 12V.
