TRITON-TX6Q System-on-Module with i.MX6 Quad
TRITON-TX6Q System-on-Module with i.MX6 QuadTiny Production Quality SoM with quad core NXP ARM Cortex-A9 processor
TRITON-TX6Q is one of a family of tiny 68mm x 31mm SODIMM system-on-modules based on NXP’s iMX6 processors. Sister products in the immediate i.MX6 module family feature Quad-Plus, Dual-Lite, Solo and UltraLite processors, while the wider TRITON-TX family offers the industry’s broadest range of compatible modules, all with a guaranteed 10 year availability.
The TRITON-TX6Q comes with 1024MB of 64-bit DDR3-1066 RAM. Dedicated multimedia codecs handle video at up to 1080p. Dual capacitive and resistive touch screen displays are supported. In addition, the i.MX6 provides a wide range of connectivity including PCI Express as well as two high speed OTG-capable USB 2.0 ports, dual camera and dual CAN interfaces. TRITON-TX6Q comes with a Yocto Project compatible mainline Linux kernel and Windows Embedded Compact 7 / Compact 2013 BSPs. Our Yocto “Rocko” built Linux BSP based on mainline kernel (4.13) provides verified support for Qt Embedded v 4/5 and X11. QNX 7.0 is supported via our in-house BSP. Bootable persistent storage is provided in the form of a 128MB NAND Flash or optional 8GB eMMC.
The i.MX6 based TRITON-TX6 modules take a single 3.0 to 5.5v supply and provide an up to 300mA 3.3V power output for use on the baseboard.
The TRITON-TX6Q brings smartphone and tablet user interface performance to the embedded user, in a range of applications including medical devices, digital signage, and industrial multimedia products, thanks to the GPU-accelerated quad ARM Cortex-A9 and NEON SIMD coprocessors. A comparison of our i.MX6 modules is available here.

Did you know that this module is part of a pin-compatible family which also includes the new i.MX6 QuadPlus?
You can see our entire range of system-on-modules on our module selector page.
If you’re not quite sure where to turn, contact our engineers. We’ve been helping our customers get their projects done with system-on-modules since 1999 and have a wealth of expertise and experience to get you to market in record time.
Guaranteed lifetime is a key reason to choose us – some TRITON products have already been shipping for over 10 years. Each member of the TRITON-TX module family is guaranteed to be available, in small or large quantities for at least 10 years from launch. This is a minimum, with expected lifetimes of 15 years where possible. Direct Insight brought the first system-on-module to market in 1999, and has a unique track-record in maintaining partnership with our customers for the long-term, supporting you throughout the product life-cycle.
Because the TRITON-TX modules are manufactured in a high-quality small-batch production facility within the EU, there are never problems with manufacturing standards or with supply. If you order 100 modules and we don’t have them in stock, we will make them. Often, cheap modules are produced in large batches by volume-oriented contract manufacturers in the Far East, and once they are gone, they are gone.
Our BSPs for both Linux and Windows CE are complete, and are designed so that you can use them without further development or modification. One of the key advantages of the system-on-module approach is rapid time-to-market, and requires a reliable, production-ready BSP, and a ready-to-roll compatible tools setup. For Linux, we supply a pre-configured VM SDK, and for Windows CE, everything is ready to use with Microsoft’s downloadable toolkit.
Further to our 10-year longevity guarantee, additional security is provided by the pin-compatible nature of the TRITON-TX range, which means that suitable baseboard designs can take all the modules from this family, including those based on i.MX25, i.MX27, i.MX28, TI AM3354, i.MX51, i.MX53 and i.MX6, and allows older modules to be replaced by the latest designs, with new features, better price-performance, and renewed longevity.
Striving for the best technical support provision to our customers is what makes Direct Insight stand out. Using a system-on-module is all about achieving a quicker, smoother route to project completion. We have supported our customers in many hundreds of system-on-module projects over the last 15 years, and are uniquely placed to assist you.
ed feature called High Assurance Boot (HAB) which potentially allows the user to secure the device against code modification, while preserving the ability to update. This is achieved by programming public keys into the device, against which the private-key signed image and data are validated. We offer HAB programming during manufacture to enable customers to easily secure their device.| Resource | TRITON-TX6Q | Detail |
