ABOUT THE EVALUATION KIT BASED ON i.MX 7ULP

The Evaluation Kit (EVK) based on the
i.MX 7ULP introduces developers to
the i.MX 7ULP applications processor.
The EVK enables HDMI output for
simple out-of-the-box bring up but
allows reconfiguration for MIPI displays.
The EVK is designed as a System-On­Module (SOM) board that connects to
an associated baseboard. The SOM
provides 1 GB LPDDR3, 8 MB Quad SPI
flash, Micro SD 3.0 card socket, Wi-Fi/
Bluetooth capability, USB 2.0 OTG
with Type C connector and an NXP
PF1550 power management IC (PMIC).
The baseboard provides additional
capabilities including a full SD/MMC

3.0 card socket, audio codec, multiple
sensors, an HDMI connector, and
an alternate MIPI display connector.
Additionally, the EVK facilitates software
development with the ultimate goal of
faster time to market through the support
of both Linux® OS and Android™ rich
operating systems, as well as FreeRTOS.

Hardware design files, tools and board
support packages (BSPs) for Linux®
and Android® are available at
www.nxp.com/iMX7ULPEVK.
