SL iMX6UL/ULL - Rev. 0.4 1/ Introduction This user guide describes the 25,5mmx25,5mm SoM form factor module – SL iMX6UL/ULL. The Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) based module is equipped with a NXP i.MX6UL/ULL processor. The single core SoC takes advantage of the optimized power consumption and performance ratio.
2/ Description The SL iMX6UL/ULL is a very small System-on-Module (SoM) using NXPs i.MX6UL/ULL processor with ARM Cortex A7. The SL iMX6UL/ULL is a highly integrated, small sized module for integration in embedded systems with 25,5mmx25,5mm footprint. The complexity of the DDR3 memory, power management and processor connection are contained in the 8- layer SOM and simplifies baseboard development.
SL iMX6UL/ULL - Rev. 0.4 2.1. Product Variants and Accessories Following variants are planned: Table 1: Product Variants of SL iMX6UL/ULL Board Description Product Number SL iMX6 UL 256/256 SoM with NXP single core i.MX6 UL G2 processor, 256 MB...

SL iMX6UL/ULL - Rev. 0.4 5/ Installation 5.1. Power Control 5.1.1. Power Supply The SoM can be powered from a single 3.3V power Source at VCC pins. The VDD_SNVS_IN pin can be connected to an external battery. If no external battery is used, it is mandatory to connect this pin to VCC.
Internal Boot Reserved BOOT_MODE[1:0] pins have internal pull-downs. By default, these pins can be left floating to stay in “Boot from Fuses” mode. In this mode the SoM boots as programmed by Kontron. 5.3.1. SD/MMC manufacture mode If no valid boot image is found on the programmed boot devices the SoM switches to SD/MMC manufacture mode before the serial download mode.
Figure 9: SD-Card connection example 5.5. Ethernet The SL iMX6UL/ULL includes the 100Mbit Phy KSZ8081RNBIA. This makes the ethernet implementation on the baseboard quite simple. Only an appropriate connector with magnetics has to be connected. Figure 10: Ethernet connection example www.kontron-electronics.de...
SL iMX6UL/ULL - Rev. 0.4 6/ Thermal considerations The temperature rise of the CPU depends on the use case and varies from 20°C for “Linux running” up to approximately 45°C for “A7 heavy load”. Due to the maximum temperature of 105°C of the SoC a cooling concept should be considered depending on the CPU load and the maximum ambient temperature.
