Specifications

2.4

DDR3L DRAM memory

The i.MX 6UltraLite EVK board has one 256 Meg x 16 DDR3L SDRAM (MT41K256M16HA-125:E) for 
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 WiFi 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. To 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
