Nitrogen6

Nitrogen6 is a name used in the embedded computing world to describe several hardware platforms, rather than a single standardized product. The label has appeared on various ARM-based single-board computers and system-on-module (SoM) families produced by different vendors. Because the products sharing the Nitrogen6 label were developed independently, they differ in processor, memory, form factor, and I/O.

In practice, Nitrogen6 platforms are small, power-efficient boards intended for embedded applications and hobbyist development. They typically run Linux or other open-source operating systems and provide common interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, GPIO, and display outputs. The designs are often used in prototyping, education, robotics, multimedia appliances, and light industrial equipment. The diversity of implementations means pinouts and software support are not guaranteed to be compatible across versions.

Due to its generic use, Nitrogen6 should be treated as a product family name rather than a single reference design. When encountered, it is important to consult the specific vendor documentation for the exact processor, memory, and peripheral capabilities of the intended board or module.
