Getting Started

Apalis iMX6 is a member of the Apalis Family. You will find all technical details such as features, datasheets, software, etc. here.

Recommendation for a first-time order

For starting for the first time with your Apalis iMX6 you will need a suitable Apalis Carrier Board as well as some adapters and cables for connecting your desired interfacs.

Toradex recommends to order the following accessories for your fist-time order:


You can buy the Apalis iMX6 module, Apalis Evaluation Board and Carrier Board Accessory Kit from the Toradex webshop.

Getting started for the first time?

3D Models

Toradex provides two different 3D models for Apalis Systems on Module:

  • Generic Apalis 3D Mechanical Models: This model has the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Apalis modules as well as future releases.
  • Specific Apalis 3D Mechanical Models: These models are simplified models of the respective Apalis module. They contain only the PCB and the CPU and are intended to be used for heat spreader or heat sink designs. The CPU height is a typical value. Due to production tolerances, the actual height of the assembled component can be different.

Generic Apalis 3D Mechanical Models

The generic Apalis 3D model contains the PCB and the maximum component height on top and bottom of modules from the Apalis Module Family. This model should be used to test the mechanical fit, ensuring that the mechanical design fits all current Apalis modules as well as future releases.

Apalis iMX6 - Specific 3D Mechanical Models

The Apalis iMX6 3D model is simplified and contains only the PCB and the CPU. It is intended to be used for heat spreader or heat sink designs. The CPU height is a typical value. Due to production tolerances, the actual height of the assembled component can be different. Please use the Generic Apalis 3D Mechanical Models with the maximum component height for testing the mechanical fit. This ensures the mechanical design fits all current Apalis modules as well as future releases.
