2 Conventions, Abbreviations, and Acronyms
This hardware manual describes the PB-01501-XXX Single Board Computer (SBC) in the following referred to as
phyBOARD
‑
Mira i.MX 6. The manual specifies the phyBOARD
‑
Mira i.MX 6's design and function. Precise
specifications for the NXP Semiconductors i.MX 6 microcontrollers can be found in the NXP Semiconductors i.MX 6

2.1 Conventions
The conventions used in this manual are as follows:
Signals that are preceded by an "n", "/", or “#” character (e.g.: nRD, /RD, or #RD), or that have a dash on top
of the signal name (e.g.: RD) are designated as active low signals. That is, their active state is when they are
driven low or are driving low.
A "0" indicates a logic zero or low-level signal, while a "1" represents a logic one or high-level signal.
The hex numbers are given for addresses of I
2
C devices always represent the 7 MSB of the address byte. The
correct value of the LSB which depends on the desired command (read (1), or write (0)) must be added to get
the complete address byte. E.g. given address in this manual 0x41 => complete address byte = 0x83 to read
from the device and 0x82 to write to the device.
