2. Core Components
2.1. NXP i.MX6Ultralite Cortex-A7 Processor
The i.MX 6UltraLite is an ultra-efficient processor family with featuring Freescale’s advanced implementation of the single ARM Cortex®-A7 core, which operates at speeds of up to 528 MHz.
The device is composed of the following major subsystems:
o Single-core ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore™ Platform o 32 KBytes L1 Instruction Cache
o 32 KBytes L1 Data Cache o Private Timer and Watchdog o TrustZone support o Cortex-A7 NEON MPE (Media Processing Engine) Co-processor
PXP—PiXel Processing Pipeline for imagine resize, rotation, overlay and CSC. Offloading key
pixel processing operations are required to support the LCD display applications.

2.3. Memory (SKHynix)
The PICO-IMX6 integrates 512MB (4Gbit) Double Data Rate III (DDR3) S ynchronous DRAM in a single (16 bit) channel configuration.
SK Hynix 4Gbit low power Double Data Rate III (DDR3L) Synchronous DRAM, ideally suited for the main memory applications which requires large memory density, high bandwidth and low power operation at 1.35V.
More information can be retrieved from SKHynix.
2.4. eMMC Storage (Kingston)
The PICO-IMX6 onboard 4GB eMMC device is connected on the SD1 pins of the i.MX6Ultralite processor in an 8 bit width configuration.
Kingston e•MMC™ products follow the JEDEC e•MMC™ 4.5 standard. It is an ideal universal storage solutions for many electronic devices, including smartphones, tablet PCs, PDAs, eBook readers, digital cameras, recorders, MP3, MP4 players, electronic learning products, digital TVs and set-top boxes. E•MMC™ encloses the MLC NAND and e•MMC™ controller inside as one JEDEC standard package, providing a standard interface to the host. The e•MMC™ controller directly manages NAND flash, including ECC, wear-leveling, IOPS optimization and read sensing.
The Kingston NAND Device is fully compatible with the JEDEC Standard Specification No.JESD84­B45.

2.5. Broadcom BCM4343W WiFi/Bluetooth SiP Module
The PICO-IMX6 com es with an onboard W iFI/Bluetooth SIP m odule. T he 802.11bgn + BT SiP module is a small sized BGA mounted module that provides full function of 802.11bgn and Bluetooth class 4.0 +HS
The small size & low profile physical design make it easier for system design to enable high performance wireless connectivity without space constrain. The low power consumption and excellent radio performance make it the best solution for OEM customers who require embedded Wi-Fi + Bluetooth features.
The SIP module is based on Broadcom BCM4343W chipset which is a WiFi + BT SOC. The Radio architecture & high integration MAC/BB chip provide excellent sensitivity with rich system performance.
In addition to WEP 64/128, WPA and TKIP, AES, CCX is supported to provide the latest security requirement on your network.
The SiP module is designed to operate with a single antenna for WiFi and Bluetooth to be connected to the u.FL connector (separate purchase, SKU: “WBANTENNAKIT”)
