H series Touch Computer is based on the NXP iMX6 Sololite processor .
The following graphic and description provides an overview of the processor.
SoloLite processor features:
The processor enhances the capabilities of high
applications by fulfilling the ever increasing MIPS needs of operating systems and games.
Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) provides significant power reduction,
allowing the device to run at lower voltage and frequency with sufficient MIPS for tasks, such as
Multilevel memory system
instruction and data caches, L2 cache, and internal and external memory. The processor supports
many types of external memory devices, including DDR3, low voltage DDR3, LPDDR2, NOR Flash,
PSRAM, cellular RAM, and managed NAN
