AR6MXCS is a low cost SBC targeted to OEMs looking for a long life, cost effective, and off-the-shelf iMX6 Solo solution they can build their products around. The AR6MXCS is small form factor (120x78mm) and includes HDMI/LVDS, G-bit Ethernet, USB/uUSB, Mini PCIe and SIMcard socket. The AR6MXCS competes well against other low cost solutions but also provides the longevity and stability OEMs require to go to take their products to market.

The BCM AR6MXCS is the perfect solution for OEMs looking for a cost effective, ARM based industrial and long-life single board computer (SBC). It is a full feature, ready to use, ultra-compact and fanless SBC powered by the onboard Freescale i.MX6 Cortex A9 Solo Core CPU enabling efficient development of smart devices with a balance between processing and graphics performance with competitive pricing. The AR6MXCS is a compact 4.7”x3” (120x78mm) form factor and it operates on 5V DC power. It is a palm size single board computer ready to use out of the box complete with either an Android or Linux BSP.
BCM also provides the AR6MXCS ARM Development Kit for OEMs looking to either test drive or quickly implement this solution with minimum effort and the highest probability for a successful out of box experience.
BCM, a Proven Partner of Freescale Semiconductor, introduces its AR6MXCS single board computer (SBC) and SMA-IMX6 system on module (SMARC) embedded board products based on the Freescale i.MX6 Cortex A9 ARM/RISC architecture with Android and Linux OS BSP support. These are ultra low-power, low-profile solutions targeting cost sensitive markets that require excellent compute performance coupled with low power or portability for embedded OEMs in the retail, gaming, medical, industrial, or transportation market segments.
AR6MXCS measures 120x78mm operating with 5V DC power. It is a palm sized single board computer ready for use off-the-shelf complete with either an Android or Linux BSP. The AR6MXCS comes standard with HDMI, Gbit Ethernet, miniPCIe socket for wireless connectivity, CAN bus, and is a perfect solution for IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It is an ideal solution for cost sensitive OEMs looking for a ready to use embedded single board computer with extended life cycle that they can build their products around and ship for many years to come.
BCM Advanced Research, a worldwide provider of long life embedded CPU boards and systems, has been promoted to Proven Partner by Freescale® Semiconductor for demonstrating its robust design and manufacturing capabilities using Freescale’s i.MX6 family of ARM processors. Since 1990 BCM has been providing custom and off-the-shelf CPU boards and embedded systems solutions to top OEMs in market segments such as medical, industrial automation, retail, gaming & lottery, security, digital media, test & measurement, and transportation market segments.
Freescale’s Proven Partner is an endorsement of BCM’s ability to support its OEM customers with Freescale iMX ARM processor products and custom board designs. It gives customers the confidence to take advantage of BCM’s complete turn-key custom OEM/ODM design services for i.MX series motherboards and systems that effectively provide OEMs with reduced project risk and lower development and product costs while accelerating time to market. “We are proud to see that Freescale has recognized our efforts to making i.MX technology a viable BCM solution to our customers by promoting us to Proven Partner”, said Tom Skibinski, VP of Sales and Marketing at BCM. “This recognition gives our customers the same confidence to move forward with BCM using Freescale technology that they have learned to expect from BCM with other technologies over the last 20 years. We think there are many more OEMs out there that are looking for a quality ODM design and manufacturing partner for Freescale technology and being a Proven Partner is certainly going to help them find BCM” added Skibinski.
