Key Insight

The T113-i is designed for performance and cost efficiency, while the i.MX6ULL focuses on industrial reliability and long lifecycle support.


Application Scenarios

1. Industrial IoT Gateway

Both T113-i and i.MX6ULL are suitable for edge gateway applications such as:

  • Data acquisition
  • Protocol conversion (Modbus, MQTT)
  • Cloud connectivity

Recommendation:

  • Cost-sensitive projects → T113-i
  • Stability-critical deployments → i.MX6ULL


2. HMI and Visualization

For applications involving user interfaces, dashboards, or display systems:

  • T113-i is the better choice due to its multimedia and display capabilities
  • i.MX6ULL is limited in this area


3. Video and Display Applications

For video playback or visualization-intensive scenarios:

  • T113-i is the only suitable option


4. Industrial Control Systems

For PLC-like systems or mission-critical industrial control:

  • i.MX6ULL is preferred
  • Offers better stability, reliability, and ecosystem support


5. Remote Monitoring with 4G

With Mini PCIe support, both platforms can integrate 4G modules for:

  • Remote monitoring
  • Data transmission
  • Edge-to-cloud communication


Selection Guide

Use the following quick guide to choose the right solution:

  • Need multimedia or display? → T113-i
  • Need long lifecycle and proven reliability? → i.MX6ULL
  • Large-scale deployment with cost constraints? → T113-i
  • Mission-critical industrial application? → i.MX6ULL


Why Choose ARMxy BL335

Unlike single-SoC solutions, the ARMxy BL335 offers:

  • Flexible SoC options for different application needs
  • Industrial-grade design with rich interfaces
  • Seamless integration with cloud platforms (MQTT, Node-RED)
  • Compact and rugged structure for edge deployment

Most importantly:

Same platform, different performance levels.

This allows customers to scale or adjust their solution without redesigning hardware.


Conclusion

Both T113-i and i.MX6ULL are strong choices for industrial edge computing, but they serve different priorities.

  • Choose T113-i for performance, multimedia, and cost efficiency
  • Choose i.MX6ULL for reliability, stability, and long-term industrial deployment

With ARMxy BL335, you don’t have to compromise—you can select the right processor based on your exact application needs.
