The i.MX 7ULP applications processors represents NXP’s
latest achievement in ultra-low-power processing for use
cases demanding long battery life. Targeted towards the
growing market of power conscious devices, the i.MX 7ULP
family of processors features NXP’s advanced implementation
of the Arm® Cortex®-A7 core, the Arm Cortex-M4 core, as
well as a 3D and 2D Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The
i.MX 7ULP provides up to 32-bit LPDDR2/LPDDR3 memory
interface and a number of other interfaces for connecting
peripherals, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, displays, and
camera sensors. The EVK provides a platform for rapid
evaluation of the i.MX 7ULP.
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-On-Module (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, WiFi/ 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.
