For everyone who has ever needed Android, good news Voipac has ported Android 7.1 on the TinyRex module (support for other Rex boards coming soon). Instructions to install can be found here. For more information, contact VOIPAC >

iMX6 TinyRex HDMI Video Input

Robert Feranec — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 09:25:34 +0000

I hope you will like the new TinyRex HDMI input interface. You can connect there any HDMI output (e.g. GoPro, Settopbox, PC ….) and process the video or transfer it over network.

Watch how it works, the picture is even nicer than from my USB camera.

Thanks everyone who was helping us with this interface. For more information about HDMI input, check out here >

iMX6 TinyRex – Passed EMC Testing

Robert Feranec — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:41:57 +0000

To help you be more confident when using iMX6 TinyRex in your products, we did some EMC testing.

Here is a video from our testing

The setup passing FCC CLASS B

The setup passing through FCC CLASS B: iMX6 TinyRex + Lite Baseboard, 2x USB memory stick, HDMI output connected to HDMI input, Ethernet loopback, Switching power supply, enclosure, running heavy testing script for USB and SD card read/write test, stressapptest for CPU and memory, HDMI output & HDMI input in 1920×1080, Ethernet SSH session.

The Bare Board

The bare board, with no enclosure, can easily pass FCC Class B (iMX6 TinyRex + Lite Baseboard, 2x USB memory stick, HDMI output connected to Monitor, Ethernet loopback, Switching power supply, no enclosure), but you need to be very careful about HDMI input and SATA. Here is the setup and results:

Testing in Environmental Chamber

Robert Feranec — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 07:27:20 +0000

We went to extreme and left iMX6 TinyRex running at -60°C (-76ºF). Absolutely no problems. Notice the snow flying around

With a middle size heatsink, the boards were reliably running at +60°C. To test higher temperatures, we would need to use a bigger heatsink. More details here>

Robert Feranec — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:43:02 +0000

We made couple of power measurements. These are just to give you an idea of iMX6 TinyRex power consumption. More results will come when we have the complete software support, e.g. these tests don’t include running HDMI input or GPU.

Welcome iMX6 TinyRex

Robert Feranec — Fri, 05 Jun 2015 06:24:37 +0000

For last 9 months we were working really hard Based on your comments, we developed a new module, which is half size of the standard iMX6 Rex and has almost all the iMX6 pins available on the board to board connectors, including camera interfaces. PDF schematic of the iMX6 TinyRex module will be available, but the module is not going to be open source.
