==Overview:==
The i.MX 6 series of applications processors combines scalable platforms with broad levels of integration and power-efficient processing capabilities particularly suited to multimedia applications.
* Enhanced capabilities of high-tier portable applications by fulfilling MIPS needs of operations systems and games
* Multilevel memory system
* Smart speed technology that enables the designer to deliver a feature-rich product, requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations
* Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
* Powerful graphics acceleration
* Interface flexibility
* Integrated power management throughout the device
* Advanced hardware-enabled security
