Complete i.MX6 Altium Designer Project with Schematic & PCB, plus all the production files such Gerbers & BOMs are now available for free download. Hope you find them useful.
At the moment, we are intensively working on Development Baseboard for the module.
We are very happy to announce, that iMX6 Rex module went into production yesterday :)
We were promised by our PCB manufacturer to take some pictures during PCB manufacturing and also we were promised by our assembly house to get some pictures from board assembly.
Keep following this blog or LIKE iMX6 Rex Facebook page to see the future updates.
We finished whole DDR3 memory interface. This spreadsheet was used to length match signals according to Design Guide. You can also see our progress in updated Project Design files here.
We are now ending optimization of signals in inner layers. Layout of board will be finished soon.

iMX6 Rex is moving ahead. Curious how the DDR3 preliminary layout has been done?
Watch this video. Apart from the memory layout process, it shows also component placement under CPU:
