Evaluation Kit Based on i.MX 6UltraLite
NXP delivers the next installment in a line of highly flexible, market-focused development
tools with an evaluation kit (EVK) based on the i.MX 6UltraLite applications processor.
The i.MX 6UltraLite processor is the first device in the
i.MX product line to have a single ARM
®
Cortex
®
-A7 core
operating at speeds of up to 696 MHz. This EVK enables an
LCD display and audio playback as well as many connectivity
options. It is designed to showcase the most commonly used
features of the processor in a small, low-cost package and
to facilitate software development with the ultimate goal
of faster time-to-market through the support of the Linux
®
operating system. A footprint is also available to enable an
HDMI display.
EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE WITH LOW POWER
AT A LOW BOM COST
Leveraging the energy efficiency of the Cortex-A7 core,
the i.MX 6UltraLite is the smallest and most energy-efficient
ARM-based processor, providing maximum performance in
low-power, space constrained embedded environments.
The board is powered by discrete power circuitry consisting
of three DC to DC converters and one low dropout
(LDO) regulator.

SENSORS
The NXP FXLS8471Q accelerometer is highly versatile for
industrial and consumer high-performance low-g applications
that offer noise density, board mount offset, temperature
performance and sensitivity. Integrated motion detection
features include tilt, shake and tap detection with a new
vector magnitude output that simplifies implementation and
reduces power consumption. The NXP MAG3110 eCOMPASS
is a small, low-power digital 3D magnetic sensor with a
wide dynamic range to allow operation in PCBs with high
extraneous magnetic fields. A footprint is also available
to enable a gyroscope sensor.
