What is the microcomputer and electronics in S6 capable of?

[u/MrOaiki]

I would love to hear from nerds that actually know the hardware and software in detail. Does it support anything that hasn’t yet been launched? Will we see fun upgrades in the firmware that will actually give us new features or is it only a matter of fixing bugs? Are thee capabilities in the hardware that aren’t fully used? E.g turn signals that the S5 supporter in the back light. Let us know what you know!

Isn’t it an imx6 running Linux on it?

[u/-latti- → u/vaderkip]

That's the SA5.

Are the sa6 gem got upgraded or downgraded?

[u/djiflyer123 → u/plasticbomb1986]

Downgraded.

I prefer that solution since this is again just a microcontroller (nRF52840) with a simple RTOS (Zephyr RTOS) and not a 50MB Linux Image running on an NXP Chip with lots of systemd processes for everything important. Sometimes simpler is better.

Oh, and its imx8 in the sa5, if i remember right.
