a total of 512 MB RAM memory.
The DDR_VREF is created by a simple voltage divider using 1.5K Ohm 1% resistors and 0.1uF capacitors
for stability. The relatively small value resistors provide enough current to maintain a steady midpoint
voltage. The calibration resistors used by the DDR3L chips and the processor are 240 Ohm 1% resistors.
These resistor values are specified by the DDR3L specifications.
2.5 SD card slots (J301, P1701)
There are two SD card connectors (J301, P1701) on the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board.
• J301 on the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK Main board is the Micro SD slot for USDHC2 interface.
• P1701 on the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK base board is a standard SD slot for USDHC1. It can also
support accessories such as a Wi Fi card, etc.
2.6 eMMC
The eMMC interface is connected to USDHC2 of i.MX 6UltraLite. It can support up to eMMC 4.5, but
the eMMC device is not populated by default on the EVK board. T o boot from eMMC, remove the Micro
SD socket and populate the eMMC device, and then change the boot device switch (SW601) settings (OFF ,
ON, ON, OFF) as shown in Table 3.
Additionally, the developer should adjust the BOOT_CFG settings for specified eMMC device by
exchanging the pull up/down resistors. See the main board schematic for more information.
2.7 QSPI Nor flash
On the 6UltraLite EVK board, there is one 256 Mbit QSPI Nor Flash device. If the developer wants to boot
from the QSPI flash, he must change the boot device switch (SW601) settings to OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF , as
shown in Table 3.

Specifications
Additionally, the developer should adjust the BOOT_CFG settings for specified QSPI Nor Flash device,
by exchanging the pull up/down resistors. See the main board schematic for more information.
2.8 NAND flash
NAND flash is not populated by default on the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board. If the developer wants to boot
from the NAND flash, the following reworks should be implemented:
1. Remove the QSPI Nor flash device
2. Populate the NAND device
3. Change the Boot-mode switch (SW601) settings to ON, ON, OFF, ON
4. Additionally, the developer should adjust the BOOT_CFG settings for specified NAND Flash
device, by exchanging the pull up/down resistors. See the main board schematic for more
information.
Note that the data lines of NAND flash are multiplexed with the eMMC and MicroSD, so they can’t be
used at the same time.
2.9 Dual ethernet connector (J1501)
There are two Ethernet MAC controllers in the i.MX 6UltraLite processor . The Ethernet subsystem of the
i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board is provided by the MICREL KSZ8081RNB 10/100M Ethernet Transceiver

2.17 User interface switches
There are three user interface switches on the EVK board. Their functionality is as follows.
2.17.1 ON/OFF button (SW2101)
SW2101 is the ON/OFF button for i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board. The function of this button is listed below .
• In Yocto Project, short press and long press will only generate an interrupt, the usage could be
defined by upper software.
• Prolonged depress (>5 sec) will force an immediate hardware shutdown.
• If board is in the SHUTDOWN state, short press of the button will restart (boot) the system.
• If board is in the STANDBY state, short press of the button will bring the system out of standby
(resume operations, no boot).
2.17.2 Reset
There are two ways to reset the i.MX6UltraLite EVK board:
1. Hardware way to reset system using SW2102:
— Pressing the RESET button (SW2102) in the Power On state will force to reset almost all the
power rails except the VDD_SNVS on the i.MX6UltraLite EVK board. The i.MX6UltraLite
applications processor will be immediately turn off, and reinitiate a boot cycle from the
Processor Power Off state.

2. Software way to reset system using WDOG signal:
— When system assert nWDOG signal, U703 will be shutdown,and system will be power
down,and then nWDOG is released, then U703 will be power on by PMIC_ON_REQ, system
will reboot. It is important that system reset should be power down and then power on, which
will avoid boot failure caused by DVFS or DRAM (LPDDR2 if used).
2.18 Power switch (SW2001)
SW2001 is a slide switch to control the power of the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board. The function of this
switch is listed below.
• Sliding the switch to the ON position connects the 5V power supply to the Evaluation board main
power system.
• Sliding the switch to OFF position immediately removes all power from the board.
2.19 Sensors
The i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board has three sensors: Accelerometer (FXLS8471Q), eCOMPASS
(MAG3110), and Gyroscope (FXAS21002CQ, unpopulated). These three sensors are connected to i.MX
6UltraLite I2C1 port.
2.19.1 Accelerometer
FXLS8471Q is a small, low-power, 3-axis, linear accelerometer in a 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm QFN package.
FXLS8471Q has dynamically selectable acceleration full-scale ranges of ±2 g/±4 g/±8 g and 14 bits of
resolution.
2.19.2 eCOMPASS (U1302)
MAG3110 is a small, low-power, 3-axis digital magnetometer. It works by measuring the strength of a
magnetic field, which is a combination of earth’ s magnetic field and the magnetic fields of nearby objects,
including distortions. The device can be used in conjunction with a 3-axis accelerometer to produce
orientation-independent, accurate compass heading information.
2.19.3 Gyroscope (U1303)
FXAS21002CQ is a small, low-power, yaw, pitch, and roll angular rate gyroscope with 16-bit ADC
resolution. The full-scale range is adjustable from 250/s to 2000/s. It's not populated by default, so if the
developer wants to verify this feature, the chip should first be purchased and soldered.
2.20 User interface LED indicators
There are two LED status indicators located on the board. The functions of these LEDs include:
• Main Power Supply (D2003)
— Green — DC 5V main supply (WALL_5V_DC_JACK) is normal.
— Red—WALL_5V_DC_JACK is over 5.6V.
i.MX 6UltraLite EVK Board Hardware User’s Guide, Rev. 1, 03/2016
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. 17
Specifications
— Off— the board is not powered.
• UART (D1903)
— Green flashing—Debug UART data are being transmitted to PC.
— Orange flashing—Debug UART data are being received from PC.
2.21 HDMI display connector (J1001)
The i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board has a HDMI Display interface with Type A connector. The EVK board
use a HDMI Transmitter IC SiI9022A from Silicon Image to convert the parallel LCD signals to HDMI
signals, but the HDMI device is the chip is not populated by default. If the developer wants to use the
HDMI display function, the following reworks should be implemented.
• Populate U1001---Sil9022A
• Populate U1002, U1003, TVS1001~TVS1005
• Populate L1001~L1004, D1002, R1023
In the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board, parallel LCD signals to Sil9022A are multiplexed with the LCD
model, and the SPDIF signal is multiplexed with the JTAG interface, so they can’t work at the same time.
2.22 Optional back-up coin cell holder (BT2101)
On the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board, there is a connector (BT2101) for holding an ML414 Lithium coin
cell battery. The coin cell provides an alternative power supply for i.MX 6UltraLite VDD_SNVS_IN
power rail when the main VDD_SNVS_3V3 is off. When VDD_SNVS_3V3 is on, then coin cell can be
charged through a current limit resistor R101. i.MX 6UltraLite has an internal LDO to regulate the
VDD_SNVS_IN power to supply the RTC subsystem. When DC 5V power supply is removed, the coin
cell will provide power only to the VDD_SNVS_IN power rail of the EVK board. To increase the keep
time of R TC, the developer should optimize the power consumption of the whole VDD_SNVS_IN power
rail.
2.23 LCD daughter card
For developers wishing to use LCD, Freescale provides an optional LCD module LCD8000-43T which
has a 4.3 inch touch-screen and supports a resolution of up to 480X3(RGB)X272. This module already
contains a 50-pin FPC cable, which can be inserted to connector J901 on the base board (the bottom
contact). The developer can purchase the LCD module from the Freescale website.
