The Nitrogen6_MAX is a turbo-charged version of our popular Nitrogen6X platform. The
Nitrogen6_MAX features the same Quad-Core i.MX6 processor from Freescale, but has some
other notable upgrades to allow for high-end performance. The Nitrogen6_MAX Rev 3 boards,
support the i.MX6 Quad PLUS processor. The hardware specifications for the Nitrogen6_MAX
board are the following:
Quad-Core (or Quad PLUS) ARM® Cortex A9 processor at 1GHz per core
4GByte of 64-bit wide DDR3L @ 532MHz
2 LVDS Outputs for Dual-Display or Dual-Channel 1080p displays

J17: COM1 & COM2 (Molex 53047-0610)
UART2 is used as the U-Boot and O/S console, so UART1 or UART5 on J54 should normally
be used for external connections.
UART1/2 are mapped to /dev/ttymxc0 and /dev/ttymxc1 under Linux and COM1/2 under
Windows Embedded.
