System boot
NXP i.MX6UL processor implements a very flexible boot process. This
versatility comes at the price of a non trivial bootstrap configuration
scheme. Typical system-on-module (SOM for short) adopter does not
need to deal with such a complexity. In other words, he/she expects to
manage few boot configuration issues because it is assumed that most of
them are "hidden" within the SOM itself. Nevertheless, there are specific
applications where the system integrator needs full control of all the
bootstrap configuration options, even if the design is built upon a SOM.
These two needs - ease of use and configurability - clearly push in
opposite directions. During the inception of the AXEL ULite product,
specific attention has been addressed to find a viable trade off to satisfy
such requirements. This effort has led to the options that are detailed in
the section Options for users. Reader can skip directly to this paragraph,
however he/she is encouraged to read
an overview of the processor's boot process.
It is worth remembering that an exhaustive discussion of this issue is
beyond the scope of this article. For more details, please refer to
