Overview

This reference design is a fully functional development board powering an NXP™ i.MX 6ULL application processor from a TPS6521815 PMIC. The hardware design consists of DDR3L SDRAM (512 MB), 32-MB Serial NOR Flash, 8-GB eMMC 5.0 iNAND, SD Card interface v3.0, dual-channel 100Base-T Ethernet, 5-channel USB hub with Type-A ports, micro-AB USB OTG, mountable LCD screen, and expansion connector for additional inputs and outputs.

This design is intended to be used as a reference for data concentrator projects in grid communications or for any project using the i.MX 6ULL, i.MX 6ULZ, or i.MX 6UltraLite processor that requires evaluation of alternative power solutions.

Features

Full system-on-board for rapid development of NXP i.MX 6ULL, i.MX6 ULZ, and i.MX 6UltraLite systems
Low-power modes and DVFS supported
Ethernet, USB wired connectivity
LCD display included for real-time current monitoring of 6-channels
Selectable boot options (SD, eMMC, QSPI)
