Hello Andreas,

To monitor the internal supply voltages on your Apalis iMX6 module, you can consider the following software and system configuration approaches:

  1. On-Board Sensors: Check if your Apalis iMX6 module or custom carrier board includes built-in voltage monitoring sensors. Some modules have integrated power management ICs that can provide voltage readings through interfaces like I2C. You can access these readings using appropriate software tools or libraries.

  2. External ADCs: If built-in monitoring is unavailable, consider using an external Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) connected via I2C, SPI, or another interface. This setup allows you to measure internal voltages by connecting the ADC to relevant test points or voltage rails. Ensure you have the necessary drivers and software to read and interpret the data from the ADC.

  3. Software Tools: Utilize available software tools and libraries that can interface with your hardware to read voltage levels. This might involve using existing drivers or developing custom scripts to monitor and log voltage data.

When implementing these solutions, ensure they do not interfere with the normal operation of the module and comply with the electrical specifications of the Apalis iMX6. Reviewing the Apalis iMX6 datasheet and technical resources can provide additional insights into the available interfaces and monitoring capabilities.

I hope this helps you effectively monitor the internal voltages on your setup.
