Quick Start Guide i.MX 6SoloLite Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide i.MX 6SoloLite Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide ABOUT THE i.MX 6SOLOLITE EVALUATION KIT The i.MX 6SoloLite evaluation kit (EVK) offers a solid platform to evaluate the i.MX 6 series single-core applications processor built on ARM® Cortex®-A9 technology as well as a reference for future designs. Key features of this platform include: i.MX6SL single Cortex-A9 core operating up to 1 GHz EPDC expansion port 1 GB LPDDR2 (400 MHz) Port for CSI CMOS sensor (camera) SPI NOR SIM card slotButton matrix SD socket for external devices Ethernet SD socket for boot code Lithium battery charger SD socket for Wi-Fi® and accessories USB host, USB OTG and USB to UART ports eMMC expansion footprint Audio codec 2 Parallel display port www.nxp.com GETTING STARTED The i.MX 6SoloLite EVK includes the following items: Board: MCIMX6SLEVK Cables: Micro USB-B-2-USB-Type A male, V2.0 Power supply: 100/240 V input, 5 V, 2.4 A output W/AC adaptor Documentation: Quick Start Guide (this document) Two SD cards: Programmed Android™ 3 Quick Start Guide GET TO KNOW THE i.MX 6SOLOLITE EVK PMIC on LED Main Power LED Overvoltage LED Parallel Display Port Microphone SIM Card Slot Button Matrix Port for CSI CMOS Sensor (Camera) EPDC Expansion Port Figure 1: Front side of i.MX 6SoloLite EVK (top) 4 www.nxp.com 5 V Power Jack On/Off Switch Boot Mode Ethernet Selection JTAG USB to UART Connector Switch Connector Connector Li Cell Connectors Boot Selection Switches USB OTG Headphone Connector USB Host Speaker Out eMMC Expansion Footprint Mini PCIe (Only USB connection is supplied for Mini PCIe connector) SD Socket for Wi-Fi and SD Accessories (SD3) SD Socket for Primary External Card Slot (SD1) SD Socket for Boot Code (SD2) Figure 2: Back side of i.MX 6SoloLite EVK (bottom) 5 Quick Start Guide SETTING UP THE BOARD 1 Insert SD Card Insert the supplied SD card into the SD2 card slot. 2 Set Up Boot Switches By default, boot switches are configured to boot from SD2. If any other boot source is desired, boot switches have to be configured according to Table 1. 3 Connect USB to UART Cable Connect from USB to UART port (J26) using a micro USB cable to PC. Once the PC recognizes the virtual USB to UART device, it can be seen it in your PC Device Manager list. 6 Serial port configuration: 115.2 Kbaud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Note: The PC needs a driver to enable a virtual COM port through the PC USB port. Visit ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp.htm to download the correct driver. 4 Connect EPDC or Parallel Display Connect by means of the IMXEBOOKDC3-E board, which has to be connected to J12 and J13. For more information about this board, please visit www.nxp.com. 5 Connect Power Display Connect 5 V power supply into power jack J6 and set SW14 to the On position. www.nxp.com SETTING UP THE BOARD (CONT.) The i.MX 6SoloLite EVK is compatible with the following daughter cards through the LCD extension slot: MCIMX28LCD—LCD daughter card* MCIMXHDMICARD—HDMI daughter card IMXEBOOKDC3-E—EPD daughter card * EVK does not natively support the resistive touchscreen on the LCD and HDMI cards. Use a USB mouse to navigate when using the LCD or HDMI cards. Touch is supported on the EPDC card. 7 Quick Start Guide The Android BSP is provided on two different SD cards, depending upon the display daughter card used. LCD/HDMI SD CARD FOR BOOTING ANDROID The default boot mode configures the system to display the UI on the MCIMX28LCD (sold separately). To change the default configuration and enable the MCIMXHDMICARD daughter card (sold separately), hit any key to stop u-boot from proceeding. Once prompt is visible, the u-boot can be configured as follows: For LCD boot up, type the following commands (as one line): setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/initandroidboot.console=ttymxc0 panel=lcdsaveenvreset For HDMI boot up, type the following commands (as one line): setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 init=/initandroidboot.console=ttymxc0 panel=hdmisaveenvreset EPDC SD CARD FOR BOOTING ANDROID The default settings should be used and no change is needed. 8 www.nxp.com BOOT OPTIONS AND SWITCH CONFIGURATION TABLE 1: BOOT OPTIONS S1_2 S1_1 BOOT_MODE1 BOOT_MODE0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 Boot from fuses Serial downloaderD Internal boot Reserved TABLE 2: SW3 CONFIGURATION SW3_8 SW3_7 SW3_6 SW3_5 SW3_4 SW3_3 SW3_2 SW3_1 BT_CFG1_0 BT_CFG1_1 BT_CFG1_2 BT_CFG1_3 BT_CFG1_4 BT_CFG1_5 BT_CFG1_6 BT_CFG1_7 SD1 SD2D * * ** ** * * * * * * 0 0 1 1 0 0 SD3 SD4 eMMC SPI NOR * * X X ** ** X X * * * X * * * X * * * 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X D * ** None specified Default configuration Switch needs to be configured for high or low depending on the application needs.
