I’ve made a console image for both the colibri (imx6dl) and apalis(imx6d) including the latest QT (5.8.0) release using eglfs instead of X11. A simple qtwebengineview is serving a very basic page which includes a simple animation. I’ve noticed a small difference in graphical performance between the Colibri and the Apalis. Animations are a little less fluent on the Colibri compared to the Apalis. Actually the Colibri with it’s price tag is just fine for the project I would like to use it for. The Apalis is a little overkill. So does anybody know any tips/tricks on how to improve the performance of the Colibri module just a little?
Thanks for your answer. As said before the Colibri format suits the application we would like to build with it. The application is nothing more than LCD+TOUCH+module serving a HTML5 webapplication. Will the Colibri range be extended in the future? So for example the imx6d or maybe even imx6q added to the product portfolio?
There are no Colibri iMX 6 with a Dual or Quad SoC in the pipeline.
Likely both Colibri T20 and Colibri T30 would provide your GPU performance, but of course those come with a different price tag.
