ABOUT THE EVALUATION KIT BASED ON i.MX 6ULTRALITE

The Evaluation Kit (EVK) based on i.MX

6UltraLite introduces developers to the

i.MX 6UltraLite applications processor. To

speed up development, hardware design

files, tools and board support packages

(BSPs) for Linux

are available at

www.nxp.com/iMX6ULEVK.

There are some peripheral boards that

work with the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK to

provide additional capabilities such

as resistive touch display, EMV and

Bluetooth/Wi-Fi

connectivity. Refer to

www.nxp.com/iMX6ULEVK for further

information.

Quick Start Guide

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

1Insert MicroSD

Card

Insert the MicroSD card into socket J301

on the CPU board (700-28617).

2Connect USB

Debug Cable

Connect the micro-B end of the supplied

USB cable into debug port J1901 on the

base board (700-28616). Connect the

other end of the cable to a PC acting

as a host terminal. If needed, the serial

to USB drivers can be found at

www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/

USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

Open the terminal window (i.e., Hyper

Terminal or TeraTerm) and apply the

following configuration:

• Baud rate: 115200

• Data bits: 8

• Stop bit: 1

• Parity: None

• Flow control: None

3Connect LCD Module

(optional)

Connect the FPC cable of LCD Module

(LCD8000-43T) to the LCD connector

J901 on base board (700-28616), which is

bottom contact.

Note: The LCD Module is not included in the kit. It is sold

separately at www.nxp.com/iMX6ULEVK.

4Connect Ethernet Cable

(Optional)

Connect an Ethernet cable to the right

port of the Ethernet Jack J1501.

5Connect Power

Supply

Connect the plug of the 5 V power

supply to the DC power jack J2001 on

base board (700-28616) and slide power

switch SW2001 to ON. When power is

connected to the EVK, it will automatically

begin the boot sequence.

BOOT PROCESS FOR LINUX IMAGE

Boot Process

• Change SW602 to D1:ON,D2:OFF (Refer to Table 4) to enter internal boot mode,

and then switch SW601 to D1:OFF, D2:OFF, D3:ON, D4:OFF (Refer to Table 5) to

boot from the MicroSD card, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. After the board

images are programmed and the boot switches are correctly configured, the system

is ready to run.

• Power on the EVK board.

• During the boot process, there will be operating system status information scrolling

on the terminal window of the PC (if connected). The Linux penguin images will

initially appear in the upper left corner of the LCD screen.

• When the boot process is complete, the Linux operating system (Yocto Project) will be

displayed on the LCD screen.

• To work from the terminal window on the host PC, press ‘Enter’ at the terminal

window to get the command prompt. Account name: root, password none.
