The i.MX6 processor has a multicore platform. This platform offers single, dual- or quad-core configurations, which are all built on the ARM Cortex Architecture (see i.MX 6 Series Applications Processors).
We use a module from Toradex, which has at its core a i.MX6 DualLite processor (Colibri iMX6). The processor is a Dual Core ARM A9-core and has a maximum frequency of 1GHz.
