Introduction

This document is the Hardware User’s Guide for the i.MX 
6UltraLite Evaluation Kit (EVK) based on the Freescale 
Semiconductor i.MX 6UltraLite Applications Processor. 
This board is fully supported by Freescale Semiconductor. 
This Manual includes system setup and debugging, and 
provides detailed information on the overall design and 
usage of the EVK board from a Hardware Systems 
perspective.

1.1

Board overview

This EVK board is a platform designed to showcase many of 
the most commonly used features of the i.MX 6UltraLite 
Applications Processor in a small, low cost package. The 
i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board is an entry level development 
board, which gives the developer the option of becoming 
familiar with the processor before investing a large amount 
or resources in more specific designs. 

Features of the i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board are:
